In the modern world, there's a real genuine fear of loss of individuality, and I think the undead speak to that. I also think the idea of the dead coming back to life, and this unstoppable foe that just keeps coming and coming but rather slowly just chases you, is a real primal fear.

Growing up, I wanted to make the kind of movies that would play in a multiplex, and those were the kinds of movies I ended up making.
