'Haunt' writers on their AQuietPlace success and the 'crazy, zany' script they're working on
whirlwind culminated on a night in November last year during awards season, and Paul Thomas Anderson, of all filmmakers, hosted an event for, and he stopped the party and he did this whole talk about what he loved about the movie, and what he loved is that first and foremost, it's a B movie. Paul Thomas Anderson, we hold him at the top of our Mount Rushmore of filmmakers. The stuff that he does just transcends any other type of cinema that's out there.
Trauma is another term I hear used often in discussions of horror. But it's not a new thing. I feel like horror has always been the genre of trauma. Is your relationship to it as well?I think horror is, if nothing else, about trauma, whether that's psychological trauma or physical trauma. It's about what scares us, and what damages us, and what we need to heal from. Horror at its bestbe cathartic.
The catharsis is huge. I feel like a lot of horror, the attention grabbing horror, ignores the idea of catharsis and goes very heavy on suffering and on grimness. Not that there's no place for that, but I found myself onboard with these characters getting to fight back against their tormentors. Do you feel like that’s maybe missing a little bit in this new glut of horror movies?That's what we hope. We hope that it can be a cathartic experience.
First and foremost we're coming out on Friday the 13th, so I think that's indicative of how we want people to embrace the movie! We do compare the movie to a roller coaster ride. That’s what we’re gunning for. It's rather simplistic perhaps, but for us, we wholeheartedly embrace that.
