Last week BD’s Chris Eggertsen had the chance to speak with Vincenzo Natali, the writer/director of the new film Splice which was executive-produced by Guillermo del Toro and debuts State-side this week in the Midnight screening series at the Sundance Film Festival. During our lengthy conversation, he was able to pick the director’s brain about his new movie, including that much-talked about human/hybrid sex scene, the numerous challenges he’s faced in making the controversial film, and possible sequel potential down the road. He also expounded a bit on his lukewarm/negative feelings towards the two Cube sequels, and how he would treat the Splice property differently if he had the opportunity to direct further entries in the series. He also gave a shout out to Bloody-Disgusting, saying he’s a “huge fan” of the site. Thanks, Vincenzo!

Matt Donato raved in his 4-star review, “Mind Body Spirit is a knockout horror session for the livestream era, which has me desperately waiting to see what its creators and stars do next.”

In Mind Body Spirit, “Anya, an aspiring yoga influencer, embarks on a ritual practice left behind by her estranged grandmother. She documents the practice on her YouTube channel for the world to watch, allowing her audience intimate access to her journey.

“But what starts as a spiritual self-help guide evolves into something much more sinister. As Anya becomes obsessed with the mysterious power of the practice, she unwittingly unleashes an otherworldly entity that begins to take control of her life – and her videos. Now Anya must race to unlock the truth, before her descent into madness threatens to consume her mind, body and spirit. By the time she reveals the true nature of the ritual, will it be too late?”

Mind Body Spirit was written and directed by Alex Henes & Matthew Merenda.
