— American ActressEveryone has the opportunity to do a horror film. There's something great about it as an actor. You have to go to places you'd normally never go and be put in situations you would never be put into. You don't get the opportunity in a lot of films to have this kind of acting. It's an interesting challenge.

Annie Parisse
— American ActressI guess the reason that I'm a horror fan is that I think it gives people the opportunity to enjoy the feeling of being scared in a safe environment.

Eli Roth
— American film director, producer, and actorThe difference is in Hostel it's in the theatre - it's in public but it's in a private place. You have to actively make a choice to want to go see it. It's not being forced on anyone. Whereas 24 you can be flipping channels and it's right there in your living room. Anyone has access to that. But that just shows how mainstream it is and how people are seeing this stuff on YouTube. People are scared of it. This is a subject matter that everyone's talking about and everyone's thinking about, particularly in American culture.
Ari Aster
— American DirectorThe nice thing about a horror movie is that people go in looking to be unsettled.

Ari Aster
— American DirectorThese are films that I really love, but I would say I'm not somebody who runs out to every horror film. I avoid most of them. I feel like a lot of them are made very cynically.
Eli Roth
— American film director, producer, and actorPeople want to be disturbed when they go see a horror movie.
Ari Aster
— American Director'Hereditary' is unabashedly a horror film. In a lot of ways, it's in dialogue with other horror films. But I do know that it was important for me that the film functioned first as a family drama. I know that I'm never affected by anything if I'm not invested in the people to whom the genre things are happening.
Eli Roth
— American film director, producer, and actorI feel like in the '90s, horror just lost its way and everything became so safe and watered-down.
Ari Aster
— American DirectorThe next film I'm making is a horror film, and I'm making it with A24. It's a dark break-up movie that becomes a horror film, set in Sweden. That's all I can really say now. It's called 'Midsommar.' Everybody's been spelling it wrong. It's 'midsummer' in Swedish.
Eli Roth
— American film director, producer, and actorI like movies like 'Mother's Day', where you watch it, and you've liked it for years as a horror movie.
Ari Aster
— American DirectorIn some ways, the audience becomes complacent when they go to a horror film. And so it's fun to take that attitude and then to upend it.
Ari Aster
— American DirectorThe beauty of the horror genre is that you can smuggle in these harder stories, and the genre comes with certain demands, but mostly you need to find the catharsis in whatever story you're telling. What may be seen as a deterrent for audiences in one genre suddenly becomes a virtue in another genre.
Ari Aster
— American Director'Hereditary' is unabashedly a horror film, whereas 'It Comes at Night' was a lot of things: it was a thriller; it was a postapocalyptic drama. It was a slow-building, very dark movie about relationships. 'Hereditary' is also about relationships, and I hope it functions as a vivid family drama, but it is also very much a horror film.
Ari Aster
— American DirectorI really feel like the horror genre is capable of so much. Especially as an in-theater experience, something you watch with other people. It can do so much.
Ari Aster
— American DirectorThere's been a lot of aesthetically rich horror films that have come out in the last several years. 'The Babadook' is this perfectly paced, beautiful film. 'The Witch' is a beautifully made film. 'Get Out' is so intelligently written. I feel like there's so many great things happening right now.
Ari Aster
— American DirectorI love the horror genre. I consider myself a genre filmmaker. I love genre, but I think there's a certain amount of complacency that comes with watching a genre film; people know what the devices are. They know what the tropes are. They know the conventions.
Ari Aster
— American DirectorMost horror films are made very cynically, and they're usually made by studios for an audience that they know is there, no matter what they put out. And there are always exceptions - every year, it seems we have a great one coming out.
Ari Aster
— American DirectorWhen I was 13 years old, I was obsessed with horror films. I even had, like, a binder that I filled with badly copied images from the Internet of, like, 'Pinhead and Basket Case.'
