Spring Break is very strange. I grew up in France, so I don't know Spring Break. That doesn't exist in Europe.

A movie like 'The Last House On The Left' would be very hard to do in Europe.

In Europe, there is no horror movie. It's very hard to make a slasher or gory movie. There is no audience for that.

Growing up in the eighties, you could go from one style in a movie to another style, and that was okay. In the nineties, you had to obey your niche. You had to follow the code and never step outside of exactly what you're doing.

When you do a slasher film, you find yourself repeating the same kind of scene, then it becomes not very challenging and not very interesting.

I think the violence in 'The Hills Have Eyes' and 'High Tension' is much more traumatic than 'Piranha.'
