I like the idea of a character that you wanna like even though you know he's making immoral choices throughout the film. Adam Wingard characterchoicefilm Change image and share on social
What's really scary about the original 'Blair Witch' is that it doesn't really answer any questions, so what makes that ending so scary is you walk out feeling dirty because you don't even know what happened. It feels wrong. Adam Wingard answerblairdirty share on social
'Cloverfield' and 'REC' are great examples of movies that took kind of tired genres, the monster movie and the zombie film, and by filming them in found footage, it was a new perspective. It gives you a whole new take and helps you re-experience that all over again. Adam Wingard cloverfieldexampleexperience share on social
I hate it when you are watching a movie where the characters are on the news, and for some reason they shoot it with a 35mm camera or a 4K camera, and they just put it on the TV as if that's the way it would look - it always takes me out of it by putting a filter on certain things. If it's too high quality, you're never gonna buy it. Adam Wingard 35mmbuycamera share on social
I think the hardest part about making a scary film is about being able to retain the mystery, especially when it comes to supernatural stuff. Adam Wingard filmhardmake Change image and share on social
A lot of people ask me, 'Are you going to do a sequel to 'The Guest' or 'You're Next?'' - those movies weren't financially viable, so even though there are a lot of fans of it, it'd be a pretty small market we'd be appealing to. It's got to be a big hit for you to really justify that. Adam Wingard appealbigfan share on social
I think, as a filmmaker, it's important to be honest with yourself at all times in terms of what's working and what's not. Adam Wingard filmmakerhonestimportant Change image and share on social
If we're going to be considered horror filmmakers, we have to prove it not only to ourselves but to the audience that we can actually make something scary. Adam Wingard audienceconsiderfilmmaker Change image and share on social
To me, the thing about anime is that it's so adult-oriented. I remember going to Suncoast growing up, and you see 'Akira' there with the little 'Not for Kids' sticker on it. That always made an impact on me. Adam Wingard adultakiraanime share on social
'Drive' is definitely an inspiration because it was a film that was able to use what would normally be considered cheesy, kind of bold, electronic music choice and pull it off in a mainstream way. Adam Wingard boldcheesychoice Change image and share on social
