On 'Paranormal Activity,' it worked to my advantage not to have much of a crew, but on a bigger movie, where you have to work with a larger group of people who basically become your second family for a few months, it can be a great experience. Even though all of my projects are small scale compared to most Hollywood productions. -- Oren Peli
The fact is that viewers are fickle and it's rare that such a large group of people can be categorized in any type of way.
