'Raiders of the Lost Ark' made me want to make films. I am wild about the films of John Carpenter, Ridley Scott, Howard Hawks and Sam Peckinpah. Neil Marshall arkcarpenterfilm Change image and share on social
I do enjoy intense, bloodthirsty action, but I like to blend and cross genres. I don't want to be too predictable. Neil Marshall actionblendbloodthirsty Change image and share on social
I set out to do a horror film with 'Dog Soldiers,' and what I came out with at the end of the day was something that was more of a cult movie, more of a black comedy with some horror elements in it. It kind of went over the top. Neil Marshall blackcomedycult share on social

My dad's a history buff, and I spent a lot of time on Hadrian's Wall. I became fascinated by the idea of what was so terrifying up there that the Romans built a 60-mile long, 30-ft-high stone wall to keep it out. Neil Marshall buffbuilddad share on social

I think I'd like to do a big movie with a strong female lead, whether or not she would be a superhero. I'm more interested in characters like Scarlett Johansson in 'Lucy.' I'm less interested in people with superpowers because I can't identify with them. Neil Marshall bigcharacterfemale share on social
With the exception of 'Descent,' that was a very conscious thing to make an action or horror movie that was an all-female cast because I hadn't seen anything like that before. Neil Marshall actioncastconscious Change image and share on social
