Oren Peli Quotes

By trade, I am a software programmer, so I never really had any experience with movies before. I started out with ‘Paranormal Activity Picture Quote #1

On ‘Paranormal Activity,’ it worked to my advantage not to have much of a crew, but on a bigger movie, where you have to work with a larger group of people who basically become your second family for a few months, it can be a great experience. Even though all of my projects are small scale compared to most Hollywood productions Picture Quote #1

The thing I find really scary about ghosts and demons is that you don’t really know what they are or where they are. They’re not very well understood. You don’t know what they want from you. So it’s the kind of thing you don’t even know how to defend yourself against. Anything that’s unknown and mysterious is very scary Picture Quote #1

Our lives are pretty calm. Merging on the freeway in the closest you get to risking your life. So what’s missing now is that primal emotion of being scared to death, and I think that’s why people crave thrills like roller coasters or scary movies. They give you the chance to feel this very primal emotion in a very controlled environment Picture Quote #1

It’s always about finding the right balance between answering some questions and raising new ones to keep your story going Picture Quote #1

I’m having fun with what I’m doing but I’d never categorically say no to something because it’s not horror. I’m keeping an open mind Picture Quote #1

I’ve always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system Picture Quote #1

I’ve never owned an Apple product. I like the fact that PCs are open architecture and not locked down like Apple products. I feel that Macs are also unjustifiably overpriced Picture Quote #1

I’m just considering myself extremely lucky. All I wanted is to have ‘Paranormal Activity’ be released and become successful. And everything that’s happened since then is just an enormous bonus Picture Quote #1

I think that horror, in general, is fairly popular. It’s definitely popular in film. There’s just not a lot of good horror on TV, so whenever there is good horror on TV, people rush to it Picture Quote #1

I pay a lot of attention to box office because I understand it. TV ratings? I don’t know how to interpret them, since I’m new to TV, so I’m just going to wait for somebody to tell me Picture Quote #1

Even when I was making the first ‘Paranormal Activity,’ I didn’t tell anyone I was making it, not my friends or neighbors or co-workers. I just kind of found that there was nothing to gain by announcing to the world that you’re doing something Picture Quote #1

After I watched ‘The Exorcist’ I refused to watch any other movie that had anything to do with ghosts or demons. I didn’t even watch ‘Ghostbusters’ until I was much older Picture Quote #1

I’m having fun with what I’m doing but I’d never categorically say no to something because it’s not horror. I’m keeping an open mind Picture Quote #1

Because of the way we let the actors improvise, it feels like you’re watching people react rather than actors reading lines - so I think that’s always going to be something I like Picture Quote #1

Almost any movie, no matter how original, is borrowing from some other movies Picture Quote #1

Not knowing the thing that’s chasing you is a lot scarier than seeing it right in front of you Picture Quote #1

Our lives are pretty calm. Merging on the freeway in the closest you get to risking your life. So what’s missing now is that primal emotion of being scared to death, and I think that’s why people crave thrills like roller coasters or scary movies. They give you the chance to feel this very primal emotion in a very controlled environment Picture Quote #1

I’ve been having a lot of fun exploring different aspects of filmmaking, like writing and producing. There isn’t a specific plan and I usually don’t know what’s going to be the next thing I do Picture Quote #1

I’ve always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system Picture Quote #1

I think the tricky balance, the most important thing more than the horror is to have a compelling story, compelling drama, a show about great characters that you care about and you want to come back every week to see what they’re up to Picture Quote #1

I think the traditional explanation is that demons just find someone, they pick on them and try to break down their spirit so they can... take control of their bodies. Why exactly? I don’t know Picture Quote #1

I feel like when you do things with such a small budget, it actually makes you be more creative... and allows you to concentrate more on the story and the characters. I think that there is something about dirty, gritty and raw filmmaking that makes it feel a little more natural and makes it easier to connect with the action Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if I would say that I’m specifically a history buff. I do find a lot of things fascinating, especially anything that’s bizarre or mysterious and unknown and we don’t have all the answers for Picture Quote #1

Gory stuff can be shocking but it doesn’t really scare me. I’d say the kind of stuff that gets under my skin is the unknown. You hear a knock behind a wall and you don’t know what it is. Is there something there or not? Picture Quote #1

It’s always about finding the right balance between answering some questions and raising new ones to keep your story going Picture Quote #1
