Personal Quote:

I make more is more horror. I'm not of the school of thought that showing something off-screen is more effective than showing it on-screen. I like to show everything. I leave nothing to the imagination.

Trademark:

High levels of gore and splatter, usually including severe genital mutilation. See more »
