Regissören för Ashley's kommande skräckfilm 'The Apparition', pratade med Fearnet.com om hans senaste projekt;


On horror in general and The Apparition:
I love horror movies. I loved them as a kid. I love them now. Some work better than others. We have a haunted house movie coming out next year called The Apparition, which is really, really, really scary. I like haunted house movies. Paranormal Activity was a haunted house movie, which cost virtually nothing. Robert Zemeckis said to me years ago, “Horror movies are the only movies that can change your physical being. They can actually make your heart race and make you sweat.” A good love story can make you cry, but what a horror movie can do is really effect you; and I think that [Splice] can do that. You just can’t believe what you’re seeing. And it’s not like you’re on [Avatar's] Pandora – it’s a character-based movie. Though it has some Pandora elements.

On what makes The Apparition unique:
It’s a good idea. It has Poltergeist elements in it. It takes place in a kind of cul de sac in the valley. In an area where a lot of houses didn’t get built, so they’re kind of alone in this unformed neighborhood. There’s no kind of specter that came from the graveyard it’s built on, so it doesn’t have that. But it has that kind of vibe. And the kids are great – Sebastian Stan and Ashley Greene are terrific in the movie. And they commit to it – Ashley understands the notion of committing to an idea that’s not real. They commit to it, and they’re good, and it’s really scary. So that’s the key. It’s not a hugely expensive movie, but it takes the idea of movies like Paranormal Activity, which have worked recently, to a level on which the audience will be lulled into thinking, “Well, I know what this is.” And then it isn’t.
