Raise your hand if you think the following quote is insipid:

“If we don’t make the story like this, every twenty or thirty years, I think we as an audience will forget this particular brand of suspense or horror, and that would be a grave injustice.” — Eric Heisserer, writer of Final Destination 5, A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), and The Thing (2011)
