Director Scott Derrickson kicked things off by discussing the popularity of the found footage sub genre in horror, and where his new film, Sinister, fits in. Turns out this isn't a found footage movie, but instead a movie about a guy that finds footage. And I love the plot, the idea, the new take on the sub genre -- I love it all.
He also shared fun behind the scenes bits and pieces about the making of the film, how its original title went from Super 8 - to - Sinister, as well as a whole slew of insider camera tips for doing the majority of your shooting in a single location. This interview is a must watch for anyone aspiring to become a horror director.
Sinister gets its nationwide release on Friday, October 12th, and overwhelming early reviews on the film are getting me so excited!
