Back to making exciting horror

 

I’m considering going back to make a really good and exciting horror film. I definitely believe we can produce a great film as long as there’s a strong and sustainable story. We started Fear of Christine two years ago, but it was an experiment in vertical drama, which we now realize creates brain fog and digital fatigue, something we really don’t want to subject people to. 

No, what we need is a truly great IP.

Fear of Christine revolves around what happens when someone you love becomes possessed by a demon, and a priest, instead of starting an exorcism, decides to try documenting it but things don’t go as he planned. I’ve always loved this kind of film and think jump scares are a cheap way out. True horror lies in the subconscious, and when things happen at unexpected times outside the typical scare moments it becomes deeply unsettling. It’s about building tension between the characters and their environment. Music and sound effects are also crucial, as is the choice of visuals the cinematography and atmosphere.

Making a great horror film isn’t always about the budget it’s also about finding the right people for the roles and a director who truly understands the genre. If you understand the genre, it usually leads to being able to craft a film that includes all the ingredients needed for a great, nerve-wracking horror experience.
