Paul Giamatti

“I love these movies. I'm a big fan of these Val Lewton horror movies. Cat People. There was a sequel to it, he was a producer, this guy Val Lewton made this series of movies... I love these movies because they're very low-budget and they're this amazing example of doing all this extraordinary stuff with absolutely nothing and creating these incredibly scary effects in them... They're strange too, it all feels very sort of unreal and dreamlike.”
