HAVE BEEN MAKING MOVIES AND ALL
KINDS OF GENRES FROM COMEDY TO
MARVEL MOVIES. TALK WITH US A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT IT’S LIKE
STEPPING INTO THIS WORLD OF
HORROR AND HOW THAT PLAYS OUT
DIFFERENTLY ON SET. AH MAN. IT
WAS A PHENOMENAL OPPORTUNITY
THAT WAS INTRODUCED TO ME BY
DION. HE’S AN INCREDIBLE
VISIONARY. UM I FEEL LIKE YOU
KNOW, HE HE ALREADY HAD THE
CONCEPT, AND IT WAS FILMED
DURING THE TIME WHERE THERE WERE
NO OTHER FILMS BEING SHOT. THIS
WAS THE VERY FIRST FILM TO BE
SHOT. INDEPENDENT EMMICK. THERE
WERE NO PROTOCOL. NO CDC
GUIDELINES AND NOTHING LIKE THAT
. SO WE ALSO HAD THE PLEASURE OF
BEING THE INDUSTRY’S GUINEA
PIGS. SO THEY WAS LIKE, YEAH,
THANK YOU FINISH THAT MOVIE, AND
WE DON’T KNOW EVERYBODY ELSE
WOULD BE FINE. SO WE GOT IN
THERE, MAN KNOCKED IT OUT. AND,
LIKE 17, 18 DAYS. UH AND YOU
KNOW, DION IS JUST AN INCREDIBLE
UH, STORYTELLER, PHENOMENAL
VISIONEER AND AMAZING LIAR. SO
HE KIND OF LIKE, GOT US ALL TO
THIS HAUNTED LARGE DIDN’T TELL
US IT WAS HAUNTED, YOU KNOW, AND
I KEEP TELLING HIM WITHHOLDING
INFORMATION THAT YOU KNOW,
AFFECTS MY PSYCHIC. IT’S JUST
BAD AT LAST, SO HE GIVES THEM
DIDN’T TELL US THAT IT WAS
HUNTED UNTIL WE GOT THERE LOCKED
ME IN A ROOM BY MYSELF. CUT THE
CAMERA ON AND LAUGHED AT MY
REACTION. SO YEAH. GO GO SEE
THIS MOVIE THIS FRIDAY. BE SCARY
INDIANA JOSEPH AND YOUR WORDS.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE MOVIE
AND HOW DID YOU FEEL MAKING IT?
UM I WOULD DESCRIBE THE MOVIE AS
A THRILLER HORROR WITH AN
UNDERLYING LOVE STORY. I THINK
THAT IT’S SOMETHING THAT’S SUPER
FUN. YOU’RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT
TIME. YOU’RE GONNA GET SCARED.
THERE’S ALL THOSE GREAT JUMPS IN
THE MOVIE, BUT IT’S ALSO A MOVIE
WITH THE MESSAGE. SO AFTERWARDS,
YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING
TO TALK ABOUT. OUT AND IT’S VERY
REAL, AND IT TRANSCENDS BECAUSE
IT INVOLVES ALL OF US WHETHER WE
ADMIT IT OR NOT, OR WHAT FEARS
WE ADMIT, I THINK IT’S GONNA
MAKE YOU GO CEREBRAL E INTO YOUR
MIND TO SAY HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I’M I’M LIKE THIS PERSON. I’M
LIKE THAT PERSON, SO I THINK THE
TRANSCENDENT PART OF THE STORY
IS THAT IT’S SOMETHING IT’S A
COMMONALITY WITHIN ALL HUMAN
BEINGS. WE HAD AN AMAZING TIME
MAKING THIS MOVIE. WE HAD A LOT
OF FUN, AND I THINK THAT’S
CAPTURED ON FILM AND ALSO
CHARACTERS. MY CHARACTER.
JOSEPH’S CHARACTER, TANJA
CHARACTER, WE’RE FROM DETROIT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
CHARACTERS, ACTUALLY HEALTH AND
SO, YEAH, I’M GONNA HAVE TO GO
AND REPRESENT BECAUSE YOU YOU
KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING? WE ARE
CHARACTERS FROM FROM THE TOWN
THAT CHECK FROM CONEY ISLAND’S
YOU. YOU FEEL ME RIGHT DOWN THE
STREET FROM HERE. LET ME SEE
WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU GUYS. UM
BUT I HAVE TO ASK YOU THIS, YOU
WROTE, DIRECTED AND PRODUCED
THIS MOVIE. UM, WHAT MADE YOU GO
INTO HORROR? YOU KNOW WHAT I’VE
BEEN FLOATING IN THIS GENRE FOR
A WHILE, UM I REALLY LOVE
THRILLERS. A LOT. UM YOU KNOW,
MOVIES LIKE BLACK AND BLUE. I’VE
MADE THE INTRUDER. UM, SO THIS
WAS NOT A STRETCH FOR ME TO
ACTUALLY TAP INTO A WORLD LIKE
THIS. THIS IS A DIRECT HORROR,
THOUGH, WITH REALLY, REALLY COOL
MESSAGE, BUT YEAH, I JUST LIKE
THE GENRE, AND I THINK IT’S ONE
OF THE MOST IMPORTANT GENRES OF
FILM TODAY. BECAUSE IT ALLOWS
YOU TO ACTUALLY DO ALL OF THE
TRAITS OF MOVIEMAKING, WHICH IS
LAUGH, CRY JUMP. THINK YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN? BE SCARED. SO ANY
TIME YOU GO TO A MOVIE THEATER
AND GET TO HAVE ALL THE
EMOTIONS, THAT’S WHAT HORROR
ALLOWS YOU TO DO, AND I’M REALLY
EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE. SO UM,
SO WE’RE JUST LIKE MAN LIKE
