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
Sundance 09: The Killing Room: Director Jonathan Liebesman "The Program is the MK program. The program’s methods and goals were extremely varied when it was in practice. There were different sub-programs the government implemented - MK-DELTA, Bluebird etc. There are many myths surrounding government experiments and their objectives and techniques." By: MrDisgusting
My Bloody Valentine 3D: Director Patrick Lussier "Digital 3-D is, in spite of what some people say, different than just shooting a normal 2-D film. You have a whole dimension at your disposal that you don't in a 2-D film. And you very quickly realize that the language of 3-D affords the audience an opportunity to be completely immersed within the film, within the story, the thrills, etc." By: MrDisgusting
The Uninvited Set Visit: Directors Thomas & Charles Guard "...Rosemary's Baby, or The Others, The Sixth Sense. I mean, that kind of, they're horror films that are kind of, you know, psychological thrillers as well as horrors. They cross, I mean, that was the thing that attracted us to this project, is that it was certainly sort of a kind of genre-buster. It kind of, it blend boundaries between the genres, which is exciting." By: Slice
The Uninvited Set Visit: Star Elizabeth Banks "They're brothers. They're great. They're very visual. You can tell that they're very concern about, you know, every little detail of the composition of the shots and, which I appreciate. I think they're really raising the bar in terms of how the movie looks." By: Slice
The Uninvited Set Visit: Arielle Kebbel & Emily Browning "I watched it just after I read the original script ages ago. And I really liked it. I think it was like really beautifully shot and really cool but so confusing. And I think that's, I mean, so I see why there's room for a remake." By: Slice
The Uninvited Set Visit: Star David Strathairn "It didn't worry me at all. They're brothers. And they, after discussing, talking, you know, exploring ideas, I felt they were very much on the same page together. And it's come to pass that they are and are very supportive of each other, you know? In many cases two is less than one but in this one, they're very, they augment each other very well." By: Slice
The Uninvited Set Visit: Producer Walter F. Parkes "And it was a very, very costly purchase because this was now when the Asian horror cycle was at its peak in Hollywood. So, everyone was trying to scramble go get this. I think the movie, the Korean movies kind of a work of genius, but I still don’t understand it after repeated viewings." By: Slice
While She Was Out: Writer-Director Susan Montford "I am a big fan of horror, I was just thinking about this, as a kid growing up in Scotland every Saturday night it was like horror fest with the Hammer films. There was also a TV show called Tales of The Unexpected, and it was the thing you looked forward to every week when you were a child." By: SpookyDan
My Name Is Bruce: Director/Star Bruce Campbell "To say “Groovy” or “Boomstick.” They want you to say lines that they could hear if they really wanted to. But they want you to say it, so I convince them that I’m not their little monkey and therefore I don’t have to say it. I’m out of batteries." By: Jeff Otto
Friday the 13th (2009) Set Visit: Star Derek Mears "I’m not like walking around with my make up on but I am a fan of the series, it is my favorite iconic horror character. It was wild, before they were going to do a remake, I was like alright, life goal and I have lots and lots of stupid life goals and a lot of them keep happening and coming true. And one of them was, if they every do a remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH, man, I would love to play Jason." By: MrDisgusting
Friday the 13th (2009) Set Visit: Star Jared Padalecki "I wouldn’t say it’s campy, I would say it has a very real feel to it. Almost like the Chainsaw remake they did. Where it just seems like real people going out and everybody has a fleshed out character." By: MrDisgusting
Friday the 13th (2009): Writers Damian Shannon & Mark Swift "That’s a great question, we knew it was kind of incidental how he gets the mask in the original PART III. We knew we wanted to build a moment out of it. I think, for us, it is a great way to get the mask. But it is more up to the fans and what they think. But for us, we like it." By: MrDisgusting
Friday the 13th (2009) Set Visit: Star Travis Van Winkle "First of all, I bring them all to my cabin, and I really like this girl, Jenna, I wanna f*ck her and that’s basically why I bring her out here. But I have to have some other guys and other girls here so it doesn’t look like I’m trying to f*ck her. So there’s my motivation to bring them out here." By: MrDisgusting
Friday the 13th (2009) Set Visit: Star Julianna Guill "I’m still trying to figure out what they are going to do me, because I know they have my stunt double up there, whose going fall on a car. And there’s a shot of me up in the window but I don’t know. I am assuming there’s something going on." By: MrDisgusting
Friday the 13th (2009) Set Visit: Producer Brad Fuller "I don’t think we had any master plan of what the company was going to be. Our first movie happened to be a remake and we wanted to stay in business. We wanted to all have jobs and the next thing that came our way was another remake so we did those next two movies." By: MrDisgusting
The Haunting of Molly Hartley: Director Mickey Liddell "The plot revolves around a young girl who’s about to turn eighteen and is
trying to make a fresh start after her mother’s psychotic break. She doesn’t
know who she can trust – including her friends and her parents. In the same
way that Rosemary’s Baby dealt with a woman who was pregnant and didn’t
know if what she was going through was because she was having a child or if
something was really wrong," By: MrDisgusting
Shoreline CEO Morris Ruskin Talks Horror! "Despite the lackluster box office, THE SIGNAL is a success story because it sold for so much more than the budget. Not only did it sell in the US but it also sold well in France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the UK, Australia, etc." By: SpookyDan
The Unborn Set Visit: Writer-Director David Goyer "Well, I knew about dibbuks ever since I was a kid. I’m half Jewish, I went to Hebrew school and so when I was growing up, like anybody, I was into monsters and I thought about it and was like “are there any Jewish monsters?” So there’s like the dibbuk and the golum and that’s pretty much it." By: MrDisgusting
Eden Lake: Writer-Director James Watkins "I got obsessed with the fear of youth. It’s a big thing here- whether the fear is justified, it’s there. I thought there was this great inter-generational powderkeg and wanted to light the fuse…" By: MrDisgusting
Train: Star Thora Birch "Yeah. And I think the basic premise is the same: they get trapped on the train. But this is a business, the killers are a group of people doing a job. They enjoy their work, but it’s still a job for them." By: BC
100 Feet: Writer-Director Eric Red "On “100 FEET” we went old school and back to classic thrillers where the reliance is on suspense, tension and suggestion rather than body count to keep the people on the edge of their seat." By: bradmiska@bloody-disgusting.com
Sorority Row: Director Stewart Hendler "I fell in love with the project the minute I read the script because I thought it had a chance to be one of those movies that steps beyond the genre—it’s scary, sexy, smart, and has something for everyone." By: MrDisgusting
