I think the fact that it didn't totally disturb the hell out of me – like if I'd have watched The Exorcist or The Shining that young, it might have had a different effect but it had the sort of sci-fi edge that’s not too brutal. [This] opened the door for me to An American Werewolf in London and The Howling.

The Deer Hunter’s something I saw when I was very young. I saw a lot of disturbing movies when I was young. Alien, American Werewolf in London. There were a lot of movies that probably kids shouldn’t go to.

The first thing to say about Pascal is that he’s a huge fan of horror and comedy. His first pick, An American Warewolf In London, blends the two: “It’s amazing,” he told Sky. “We got cable TV when I was very young. It scared me. I thought it was hilarious, and you watch it now, and it still holds up.”
