Burning Bright: Director Carlos Brooks "Not once I realized the two are really the same idea -- just unbridled Nature. Suddenly then you’re not talking about good and evil. It’s actually more fearsome than that. Because you can’t read it. I think that’s why the hockey mask is such a classic horror image -- that total absence of emotional cues -- it’s just a force coming at you with a Benihana knife." By: MrDisgusting
Piranha 3D: Star Paul Scheer "Jerry O'Connell and I play guys from a company called WILD, WILD GIRLS. A Joe Francis-esque type of company that comes to Lake Victoria (AKA Havasu) to shoot some Spring Break "Videos". I obviously took the part very seriously. I watched hours of Girl Gone Wild videos, I had to do intense research about how to pour the proper body shots, it was hard work." By: MrDisgusting
Moon: Director Duncan Jones & Star Sam Rockwell "There was an emotional chord to it in that this was a guy who wanted to get home. So for Sam 1, that was driving everything for him. And when Sam 2 turns up on the scene, he’s literally just starting his three-year contract to be out there. All of the sudden you get that conflict, that little difference in personality." By: David Harley
Pin (1988): Director Sandor Stern "In 2001, Pin was released on DVD and, by chance, found its way into my hands, satisfyingly ending my laborious quest. I recently had the chance to talk with director Sandor Stern about his cult thriller." By: David Harley
Saw VI: Cast and Crew Talk New Traps, Latest Game! "People love a good yarn. When I hear people talk, the visual rollercoaster is one thing that brings them into that. Also, the traps. They're interactive. Everyone thinks of what they would have done. When things are interactive, you have the audience. They'll go away and talk about it and argue." By: Mike Pereira
Frozen: Stars Shawn Ashmore and Emma Bell "The hardest thing for us at the beginning was getting used to the cold and also sitting up in the lift for six hour periods. Then we'd have half an hour off [for lunch] to warm up and stretch our legs and then another six hours before we wrapped." By: Jeff Otto
H2 Set Visit and Exclusive Interview with Rob Zombie "Bloody-Disgusting spent an evening on the set of Rob Zombie's H2 back at the end of March as the production was nearing its finish on day 27 of 33. It was a rainy, chilly night in rural Newborn Georgia where Zombie and crew were shooting a scene at Sheriff Brackett's (Brad Dourif) house." By: Jeff Otto
The Crazies: Director Breck Eisner "My theory is they should have something they couldn’t do the first time around that you could do differently. It’s not like you’re just redoing PSYCHO or redoing a perfect film. Romero obviously had limitations in terms of the budget." By: Jeff Otto
The Crazies: Star Radha Mitchell "The conceit of the story is that’s there’s been this situation where a chemical weapon has been accidentally dumped into the water supply system. So this town has been infected, so everyone is sort of victimized by that situation. And the government officials is trying to suppress that information and also keep the situation contained." By: Jeff Otto
The Crazies: Almost Human FX's Rob Hall "It's definitely not slow and sluggish and it's not like the rage guys in 28 DAYS LATER. It's somewhere kind of in-between. Sometimes they are a full threat and they come after you with guns, but what’s cool about them is they retain a lot of the knowledge that the host had before." By: Jeff Otto
Frozen: Writer/Director Adam Green "Hopefully FROZEN will leave a mark on you and send you home wondering what you would do and how you would survive if it ever happened to you. If you're hoping for jokes, jump scares, and blood geysers, this isn't that movie. But if you want suspense, tension, and 'horror for your brain', this will deliver." By: MrDisgusting
Orphan: Director Jaume Collet-Serra “It’s hard [to talk about]…the movie has a twist. The whole trailer and campaign are designed to tell people this is not your typical kid movie and there is something else to it. But that’s as far as I can go. There is more to it, there is a twist, anything else I would be giving you clues,” he jokes." By: MrDisgusting
Wrong Turn 3: Director Declan O'Brien "CYCLOPS was like 338 CG shots, which I did with motion capture, very heavily CG based. I wanted to do WRONG TURN 3 more old school. It was a luxury to do more practical effects…we had a bit more money and time to do it." By: MrDisgusting
Drag Me to Hell: On Set Interview with Sam Raimi "I'm just trying to make a horror movie that people go to, they laugh at, they think is suspenseful," says Raimi. "[I want them to] get excited about in the action or monster sequences and have those types of fun house reactions." By: Jeff Otto
Offspring: Author/Writer Jack Ketchum "With Offspring I actually wrote the screenplay as well, so I had a direct influence in so many ways. I’m pretty lucky – so far I’m four for four with my films. I’ve really enjoyed how all four of them have turned out." By: Closer To Death
Grace: Writer Director Paul Solet "I really believe in the horror community. We have unity here like nowhere else. If you look at the comedy scene, those guys are trying to one-up each other with jokes. We always have each other’s backs. Adam Green is a perfect example. It really is our voice. If the sites get behind us and other fans, like me, talk about it, that’s great." By: Tex Massacre
The Haunting in Connecticut: Director Peter Cornwell "Anything can happen so it gives you the freedom to come up with something absolutely crazy. The rules aren’t clearly defined and that’s what makes it scary - the fear of the unknown. It gives you a lot of interesting ways to scare the audience. It’s a lot of fun." By: David Harley
The Last House on the Left (2009): Producer Wes Craven " We had basically realized that we had ownership of the property again; after 30 years the rights came back to us: Sean Cunningham and myself. So we just kind of explored who would be interested, if anyone, and there WAS immediate interest, so we set off to make it." By: BC
Red Sands: Writer Simon Barrett "I remember hearing about all these ancient relics getting destroyed, and kind of pondering how we’d invaded, like, this area of the world where all these major religions sprang from, with very little awareness of that region’s culture, or its history. So I kind of thought it was an interesting concept to use these pre-Islamic Arabic legends to write basically a haunted house movie..." By: MrDisgusting
Red Sands : Director Alex Turner "I think compromise is a certainty if you have a budget of 1.5 million and you are shooting a genre film with over two hundred visual effects. Even more so when your visual effects house drops the ball and doesn’t finish the film….but that’s another story." By: MrDisgusting
Sorority Row: A Visit to the Set Part 1 "The one thing that gets me really excited about the remake cycle we're in right now is that Hollywood is starting to remake films I never really liked in the first place. It just makes more sense to go back and redo properties that weren't as good as they could have been, since there's room for improvement."" By: David Harley
His Name Was Jason: Director Daniel Farrands "My editor and I have just been scavenging the lowest dregs of the Paramount vaults to find the things that fans want to see. We've have limited success with some things, but we're working on it and believe me, there's so much passion behind it. We're doing our best to put something out that will hopefully make the fans more satisfied than they were with the previous versions that Paramount put out." By: BC
Alien Raiders: Director Ben Rock "So the development of Alien Raiders was all Dan Myrick, who was my main executive on the project. He developed the script originally with David Simkins, and when I was brought on as director..." By: MrDisgusting
The House of the Devil: Writer/Director Ti West "It’s not really an 80’s homage as much as it’s just a movie that takes place in the 80’s. It’s a period piece. It’s not poppy or kitschy. It’s more like “real” early 80’s…wood paneling, wallpaper, feathered hair etc." By: MrDisgusting
Cold Prey: Writer/Director Roar Uthaug "No, everything is pretty much there. I had a little bit of dialogue that homaged Evil Dead 2 – one of my all time favourites. But the scene worked better without it so it had to go." By: Kevin Murnane
Cold Prey: Star Ingrid Bolso Berdal "Horror films leave me so scared and I can't sleep for days. I’ve seen many action films though and they’ve taught me a lot about the importance of maintaining the intensity and the inner rhythm of the character throughout the film..." By: Kevin Murnane
Coffin Rock: Writer/Director Rupert Glasson "The story influences of Fatal Attraction are pretty clear. Coffin Rock is kind of Fatal Attraction with a tennage boy psycho instead of a woman. But I also drew from relationship thrillers like Cape Fear where a family with it’s own problems is set upon by a psycho. The presence of that psycho brings the thriller aspect of the story and family dynamic provides for quality drama." By: MrDisgusting
Sundance '09: Grace: Writer/Director Paul Solet "I’m always writing, because if I don’t write, I get sick, you know? So I’ve got a couple of scripts that I’m really jazzed to do. And that’s sort of where my concentration is. I still want to be able to tell personal stories. I want to continue to make movies that don’t compromise." By: Ryan Daley
Mirrors/Piranha: Director Alex Aja "PIRANHA is Spring break under attack by prehistoric fish that have been released by an earthquake under a lake in Arizona. So we keep that very kind of guilty pleasure style of movie where we set up a very easy storyline to just get the maximum gore and the maximum nudity." By: Jeff Otto
