Defining films

In their own words

I'm a big fan of Cloverfield. And, obviously, Jurassic Park for the sense of wonder and the scale of the creatures and all that, and Jaws for the way it built tension.

I'm a big fan of [REC] and The Blair Witch Project. Those are the two big ones... Jurassic Park for the sense of wonder and the scale of the creatures, and Jaws for the way it built tension.
