"Sam Raimi has expressed his belief that horror films need to be believable in order to be truly frightening. Raimi - who directed the Evil Dead series and produced The Possession - told Reuters that he approaches a horror movie just as he would any other project. &amp;quot;The needs of a horror film are the same needs as in any dramatic film. The audience has to connect,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;You have to have a solid main character that you can really understand and relate to. You have to know what they want.  &amp;quot;There has to be a set of believable obstacles that you watch them overcome, and there has to be an interesting resolution.&amp;quot; Raimi also revealed that it&amp;#039;s odd so many identify him as a horror genre director considering he wasn&amp;#039;t interested in scary films as a kid. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s funny. I never liked horror films as a kid! I was a coward and they scared me,&amp;quot; he joked. &amp;quot;But, at the time that I was a youngster trying to break into the business there was no scene.&amp;quot;  He continued: &amp;quot;There was no Sundance Channel. The only way to break in at that time was to make a horror film for a couple of hundred grand. I literally started in horror just to break into the business!&amp;quot; Raimi recently hinted that his next project will likely also be a horror film about a &amp;quot;darker force&amp;quot;. The Possession is now playing. Watch a trailer for The Possession below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
