Fede Alvarez Audience Quotations

If you think about it, you can have the best CGI, but you can always tell that it is CGI. Your brain can spot that is not real even though you think it looks cool. Your brain knows the truth, so you don't jump and you don't scream. It was very important for me to expose the audience to real elements.

I like to get the audiences cozy in their seats, feeling safe, and suddenly they'll be shocked out of their minds.

I need to create a whole cinematic experience. I think that's what it takes to get the audience to the theater and justify seeing [a movie] on a big screen. You have to give them a cinematic experience.

What some of the early horror genre masters knew, and what I know, is that the audience are perverts, but in the best possible way.
