Well, we are WELL into our production, and I can honestly say this is the MOST INTENSE movie I have ever been apart of.

I am so excited, for so many reasons.

This film is horrific.  But in such a different way than any project I have been apart of.  While it’s violent, and scary, and yes, bloody – the horror this time around comes from the amazing acting, and tense situations our characters are placed in.

It’s no secret that I have always been a fan of horror, and horror films.  But unlike SAW, this is NOT some torture porn film.  It’s not some blood fest, nor some exploitation flick.  This is a character study…  Unlike other films of it’s kind.  It’s not a character study of the just the victims;  but also of the killers.  The film doesn’t take sides, or skew itself to frown on any of the characters or their decisions, it just presents itself to the audience for them to side with who they like.

It’s as much a thriller as it is a horror film.

Last night we were shooting a scene where one of the brothers (Addley) was beating one of the house guests brutally with a pool ball… And while blood was flying, and tears were being shed, something happened… I couldn’t tell who I was rooting for… Part of be was so in the head space of the victims, and was scared for them.  The other part of me, understood why Addley was doing what he was doing, and I kind’a felt for him… WHAT THE FUCK I thought?!  You are not suppose to feel for Addley… He is beating someone senseless with a Cue Ball… But I did… as much as I cared for poor Daniel being beaten by that very cue ball…

My point is this… This movie is morphed into something I don’t think any of us saw in the early stages… While it’s delivers on the blood and gore, while it pays homage to the 1980’s classic, it’s has become something more substantial.  Its crossed just being another horror film, to being a thriller, a drama, and yes, at times, even a comedy.

Today, we are off to shoot some more of the house scenes… It gets INSANE as I have 8 to 10 actors on screen at any given time… Which sounded great in the conceptual stage,  in the blocking and shooting stage it has turned into a NIGHTMARE… Shooting coverage and covering EYE lines will be the death of me!  That being said, every single actor in this movie is amazing, and brought so much more to their character, and this story than I ever could have hoped for.

Off to the set… Mother is calling… And trust me, you do NOT want to keep her waiting.
