Personal Quote:

I avoid a lot of horror films because so many of them are produced so cynically. There are always exceptions to that. I think South Korea has been producing incredible genre films for the last ten years, and not just in the horror genre. See more »

Trivia:

At four years old he saw his first movie in theaters, Dick Tracy (1990). During one scene a character fired a Tommy gun in front of a fiery background. Purportedly, Ari jumped up from his seat and ran out of the theatre in fear, causing his mother to have to chase after him. See more »
