Show Notes:On this week's episode, I chat with the director of a new horror film called The Cellar Jamie Langlands, and the star of The Cellar, Meghan Adara. The Cellar is available on VOD on November 4th. Jamie told me where the idea for The Cellar came from and a film that inspired the story, while Meghan told me what she did to get into the right headspace and how she found starring in her first horror film and whether or not she'll act in a horror film in the future, and so much more. The Cellar's Socials: Watch The Cellar: https://www.primevideo.com/detail/The-Cellar/0KLQ4QN8KIMB8KTSDVJII2JQKQ?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaeUFUTJPd1ArlOaOkMXPM2De83WcLZB9O-5k0GYnDKFlNJSwQN87wuV-SSq1w_aem_TeoqQRNUh5FgPYGdFWPRuQ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31852558/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_5_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_the%2520cellar Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecellar2025/Website: https://thecellarhorror.com/Who's There?

After delivering the Shudder hit MadS last Halloween, French filmmaker David Moreau is back with another haunting nightmare called Other. In this interview, the writer and director breaks down his penchant for atmospheric horror, why he doesn't bother much about “referencing” other films, and how he went for a “faceless” approach this time, filming only the face of heroine Olga Kurylenko.OTHER is now streaming on Shudder.

  Alpenkriminologiekongress  - AKK   Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der SAK - der Schweizer Arbeitsgruppe für Kriminologie findet der Kriminologie Kongress in der Perle der Alpen Saas-Fee statt. Die SAK wurde 1974 gegründet - zeitgleich mit der Geburt des Autors dieser doch so spannenden Geschichte.   Im Gletscherdorf Saas-Fee trifft sich alles aus der Kriminologie was Rang und Namen hat. Nur Hubert ohne Staller sind wohl rein zufällig hier. Sie wurden in Wolfratshausen von Ihrer Chefin Frau Sabine Kaiser beurlaubt und ja verbringen nun Ihren Urlaub in Saas-Fee wo ja eben so rein zufällig das AKK stattfindet - ja der Alpenkriminolgie Kongress. Rein zufällig wurde Herr Gunti Häfliger ermordet und rein zufällig ist die Pathologin Frau Dr. Caroline Fuchs auch Teil dieser doch so interessanten Geschichte.  So viele Zufälle ?   Im Ernst - der Gunti isch tot ? Ermordet ? Wollte wohl sein Patent nicht herausrücken - seine Entwürfe der Erfindungen - wir erinnern uns an den W-Lan Duschkopf und das Schneeflockeninventarsieb ? Ja im Dorf geit der Hengert. Auch der Autor dieser doch so spannenden Geschichte ist emotional am Boden - den Tränen nahe - ja auch sein Körper besteht aus 80% Wasser, sehr nahe am Wasser und am Fendant. Was für eine Freundschaft hat sich da in den letzten Jahren entwickelt. Wie wohl Marie - die - ja  beste Ehefrau von allen mit diesem Schmerz umgeht ?    Nun gut - es sei ihr vergeben - das mit dem Inserat - ein schlechter Witz und ja wir erinner uns Ehemann sehr sehr günstig abzugeben. Nun ja - er wurde dem Bestattungsinstitut übergeben. Da Marie Häfliger eine Autopsie verlangte und man von  keinem natürlichen Tod ausgeht wurde die Leiche nun ja auf dem Seziertisch von Frau. Dr. Caroline Fuchs seziert. Geschehen LIVE am AKK - doch was da geschah konnte keiner ahnen.    Und ja da passt wohl kein besseres Lied in die Sendung als das BRANDNEUE LIED von SUE - Songs of Sue und jetzt wo ich gerade diese Zeilen schreibe weiss ich nur so viel - SUE hat in diesem Lied sehr viel persönliches verarbeitet. Es geht darin um persönliche Erfahrung am Arbeitsplatz mit dem VORGESETZTEN. Gerade habe ich auf Facebook das Video angeschaut - quasie the making off und Dialog mit dem CO-Writer. A murders ballad. Is a little creepy. I will bury you in black. RUN das neue Lied von Sue - pünktlich zu Halloween und bist Du so Halloween ? Valentin. Clementin. Adrenalin. Kerosin.     Frau Dr. Caroline Fuchs ihrer Seite nun ja keine Emotionsbombe. Dies lässt Ihre Arbeit wohl nicht zu. Pathologin nun nichts für schwache Nerven und noch einen schwächeren Magen? Nie im Leben hat es sie in Erwägung gezogen - geschweige sich den Gedanken gemacht - privates und geschäftliches zu trennen. Sicher war da einmal dieser Mann auf ihrem Seziertisch wo sie dachte - schade um einen so schönen Mann aber eben - Schnaps isch Schnaps - und ja beim Gunti - any Feelings ? Sie dachte sich - der sieht - obwohl er so Tod vor ihr liegt - wie ein Stück totes Rinderviertel noch sehr sympathisch aus, aber das wars dann auch.  Bedürftigkeit ist keine Grundlage für ein gesundes Zusammensein. Dies steht Heute auf dem Kalender in der Pathologie.    In der Pathologie hört Dr.Frau Caroline Fuchs am liebsten Radio Supersaxo. Sie ist angetan von den Alpensendungen aber auch vom Walliser Podcast - Ische Hengert und dachte sich - so eine Pathologin oder Bestatterin  wäre doch auch mal was - nicht wahr ? Radio Supersaxo ist offizieller Medien Partner des AKK und versorgt die Krimi Fans mit exklusiven Interviews und News. Gemäss Berichten wurde berichtet über einen Bericht, dass auch Magnum in Saas-Fee sei? Sputnik serviert in den Kaffeepausen frisches Roggengebäck. Zum Apéro gibt es Fendärboerg und Walliser Blätterteigschnecken mit Pesto Rosso di Vallese by Horny Chef.    Gerade referiert Kommissar Shaun Määhloney im Podiumsgespräch mit Derrick über einen makabren Fall, der sehr viel Einfühlvermögen  ab verlangte. Ein Mann ist eines Morgens rein zufällig auf den Kopf seiner Frau gestanden. Der Mann 174 cm gross und 134 Kilo schwer, sie können es sich vorstellen wie da der Kopf unter seinem Gewicht zerbrach, wie eine Wallnuss im Nussknacker oder eine leicht fauler Kürbis - SQUASH- Päng - Pädäng und wie könnte man dieses Geräusch wohl am besten beschreiben. Die Zuhörer:innen am Podiumsgespräch mit Derrick und ja sicher auch sie - fragen sich -  wie steht man so rein zufällig auf den Kopf seiner Frau ? Der Angeklagte behauptet ja es war ein Unfall. Shaun Määhloney ermittelte und wollte ihn Anfangs wegen Mord - aber eben. Die Frau des Angeklagten lag sehr heiter angetrunken am Boden. Am Pfosten des Bettes. Auf dem Teppich. Im Schlafzimmer. Er im nun wie sagt man diesen neuen Better die etwas höher sind. ? BOXER Betten ? Da kommt man einfacher hinaus aber die Frau des Angeklagten scheiterte wohl beim Einstieg früh morgens in einem alkoholisierten Zustand - die Autopsie ergab 2.9 Promille und 12 verschieden Tabletten im Magen der Toten - ein Mix zwischen Andidepressiva - Schlafmittel - etc - ein tödlicher Mix.    Ihre Alkohlabhängigkeit  und wenig Bewegung seit Jahren so meint der Angeklagte - ein Selbstmord auf Raten? Sie wäre eh gestorben - früher oder später - mein der Angeklagte. Er meint es sei wohl auch eine Frage der Ethik und möge man ihn als Mörder verurteilen. Wem sei denn da geholfen ?   Die Richterin im Prozess konnte auch nicht begreifen, wie man einfach so auf den Kopf seiner Frau - so aus versehen stehen möge, ob er denn nicht gesehen hätte, dass da seine Frau am Boden lag. Ihr und wohl vielen anderen im Gerichtssaal war das streng verdächtig ?   Ihre sehr hochgeachtetet Frau Richterin fing der Angeklagte an zu referieren. Sie kennen es ja - morgens noch so im Delirium Alpineum - so richtig geschreddert vom tiefen Schlaf und den Träumen wo einem der Chef begegnet. Also meistens bin ich vor dem zu Bett gehen ja weniger müde als nach dem Schlaf. Ergeht es ihnen nicht auch so ? Also vor dem dritten Kaffee sehe ich nicht wirklich was vor - unter und neben meinen Füssen und ja beinahe wäre ich mal über den Hund gestanden, aber der hatte wohl mehr Glück oder einfach besser reagiert ?   Wie gesagt, es war ein dummer Unfall, aber sicher wollte ich meine Frau nicht ermorden, das hat sie ja daran gearbeitet, an ihrem eigenen Tod, ich lieferte ich täglich ihre Ration, schenkte ihr grosszügig ein und bin vielleicht mit verantwortlich und wäre sie am Alkoholexzess gestorben. Ich - ja Ihr Lieblingsweinlieferant - ich wäre dann wohl Mittäter ihres eigenen Todes gewesen und nein - es braucht da einfach nur Geduld - wie gesagt - sie währe selbst vor sich hingestorben. Es ergibt kein Sinn zu morden. Sie verstehen. Motiv - Co Abhängiger - Leidensgenosse - und ja wie die Familie unter ihrer Depression und ihrer Sucht litt. Sie sprechen von Motiv ?    Der Angeklagte wurde frei gesprochen. Shaun Määhloney versuchte unter keinen Umständen noch mehr Beweismaterial, Zeugenaufrufe etc und ja die ganze Nachbarschaft - Familie und Freunde wusste wie sehr der Angeklagte seine - ja die beste Ehefrau von allen seine Ehefrau hasste. Ein Hassliebe. Sie eine verwöhnte Narzisstin - er gefesselt in einer toxischen Beziehung. Man hatte viel Verständnis mit dem Angeklagten und der Fall - wie gesagt, verlange sehr viel Mitgefühl. Derrick sichtlich gerührt mit einer Träne in den Augen bat Harry schon mal den Wagen zu holen. ( Also das Elektro-Shuttle zu organisieren - by Metmet Bereck aus Nord-Nord-Mord )    Zurück - LIVE on STAGE auf Bühne Nr. 2 der AKK wo Frau Dr. Carloline Fuchs gerade anfangen wollte den Häfliger zu autopsieren. Seine Frau - also die Marie wollte von Frau Dr. Fuchs wissen - ob ihr Mann vor dem Tod noch Sex mit einer fremden Frau hatte. Die meisten Taten sind ja Beziehungstaten und die Marie unheimlich eifersüchtig. Er - also der Gunti konnte ja die Idee der offenen Beziehung mit ihr und anderen Frauen leider nie durchsetzen - wir erinnern uns. Im Radio läuft gerade das neue Lied vom Autor der Geschichte - She did not say anything. Yes she did not say anything - but that told me everything about her. If the Past doesn't shock your future - what is the point to be eaven her right now. In you - I feel understood, In you I can find a piece of my self. Bullocks. Bullocks. Bullocks. OCHS - OCHS - ich OCHS.    Nun Frau Häfliger - Ihr Mann - der beste Ehemann von allen hatte mit keiner fremden Frau SEX, dies kann ich so bestätigen. Er hatte höchstens noch Sex mit sich selbst. Aber wollen wir den Toten nicht in bester Erinnerung ruhen lassen? Keine Eifersuchtstat also doch die Theorie - Raubmord - die Mörderin wollte wohl an die Pläne des Häfligers. ? Frau Dr. Caroline Fuchs hielt noch einmal das Glied des Häfligers in der Hand und es geschah was niemand ahnen konnte. Live auf der Bühne des AKK - auf dem Seziertisch - vor Publikum - die Kamera von Radio-TV Supersaxo zoomte auf  - dieser in sich zusammengeschrumpft als ob er schon vor dem Tod verstarb. —my best looking friend  wie der Gunti seinen Penis zärtlich nannte. Gott hab ihn Seelig. Frau Dr. Carloline Fuchs fing an zu singen - erinnernd an eine Musical Szene :  so klein wie du ihn erhalten hast - so kleine musst du ihn zurückgeben.    Und auf einmal - das Glied in ihren zärtlichen Händen. Sie in Ihrem Pathologie Mantel und im Ausschnitt sah man die Konturen des Walliser Schwarznasuschaf Woll Roll Chragu Decolte…..!  Ach ja - das Glied in ihren zarten Händen ( Frau Dr. Prof Fuchs - also in Echt heisst Sie Susu Potzek oder so und ist verheiratet. Eigentlich schade. Nun gut verheiratet ist der Autor der Geschichte ja auch und dieses ständig daran erinnert zu werden, unnötig )     Ach ja - ja das Glied in ihren zärtlichen Händen - und nun kommen wir zum Höhepunkt der Geschichte - das Glied - der Penis - der Schwanz - his best looking friend im Zoom der Kamera - Frau Dr. Fuchs noch immer noch  singend -Das Glied in ihren zärtlichen Händen fing auf einmal an zu zucken, sich zu erregen, zu hüpfen vor Freude und schaute Frau Dr. Fuchs zärtlich an. Eine kurze Weile danach erwachte auch der Rest des Körpers des Häfligers. Eine Wiedergeburt. Die Auferstehung der Toten. Im Wallfahrtsort Saas-Fee wo schon manch einem die Mutter Gottes vor der Kappelle zu hohen Stiege erschien. Aber eben - live in Stage - on Camera - ? Und nun führe mich nicht in Versuchung - die  Fuchs und Häfliger ignorierten die Kameras  - umarmte sich gegenseitig vor Freude. Er immer noch nackt  wie ein Viertel totes Rind und sie entledigte sich ihrem Autopsie-Mantel….. dem  Decolte…….. !    Wo isch jetzu z  Marie wemus al mal brüchtiii ?    Fertig.

“[My dad] really started to inhabit the characters, especially Ray, speaking as him during the writing process. That was when I realized this was going to be its own kind of special beast. Working with him taught me so much as a writer and storyteller; by the time we got to set, we had a shorthand for everything,” says director and co-writer Ronan Day-Lewis about writing the script Anemone with his father, Daniel Day-Lewis.   The film Anemone, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean and Samantha Morton, paints a portrait of a family torn apart as they struggle to come to terms with their past and present after their harrowing experiences with the Troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Isolation, shame, regret and the true meaning of brotherhood are themes explored in this hyper-focused family drama.   On today's episode we sit down with Ronan Day-Lewis to find out more about his edgy first feature film, what it's like writing a screenplay with Daniel Day-Lewis, and Ronan's personal connection between his visual art and the imagery in the film.  Ronan also shares this advice to screenwriters tackling family and generational stories: “Whatever you can fall in love with, latch onto that: an image, a feeling, a character. Don't put pressure on approaching a script a certain way. Stay open, be patient, and keep sight of what originally gave you the impulse to enter that world. Over time, the story will reveal itself to you.” To learn more about this surprising and deeply emotional film, listen to the podcast.

“Write your own anxieties. Get into your own psyche. I think if it scares you – like, I'm terrified of guns, and that's where The Purge came from. But here, there were various generational fears and whatnot that led to The Home, Adam's fears and my fears about getting older and our anxiety. So I would say if it's born from your fear, the majority of the audience probably has a similar fear. I think we are communal in that way. Fears are not singular, so I think you should work off your own fears, and on a practical level, if you can keep the budget small, you're in a much better place getting it made. That was key to The Purge getting made, that it was one location,” says James DeMonaco, director and co-writer of the new horror film, The Home. On today's show, we talk with both James DeMonaco and Adam Cantor, co-writers of the new horror film The Home. The Home is about Max (Pete Davidson), a troubled young man, who starts working at a retirement home only to realize its residents and caretakers harbor sinister secrets. As he investigates the building and its forbidden fourth floor, he starts to uncover connections to his own past and upbringing as a foster child.  DeMonaco, best known for creating The Purge franchise, and Cantor, an actor-turned-writer, talk about their favorite horror films from the 1970s, the challenge of bringing a 70s vibe to modern horror films, and working with their Staten Island buddy, comedian Pete Davidson and bringing out his intense dramatic performance. DeMonaco also talks about the impact The Purge films have had on our culture.  “I grew up watching Romero and Carpenter films and George Miller. I always thought they put great mirrors up to society, and there was always some kind of smuggler's cinema idea, where they were smuggling socio-political themes into the genre's pieces. So sadly, The Purge is reflective of the world we're living in and becoming, I think, more reflective, which is scary. And terrifying. I wish it wasn't, I wish it was a complete fantasy to purge. Unfortunately, it's not right now, and it's seemingly getting worse,” says DeMonaco who weighs in on whether something like The Purge could happen in real life.  “I used to say, ‘Absolutely not!' Now, I don't know if I would say that any longer, and that's even scarier to me,” says DeMonaco. To hear more about The Home and the spooky events that h appened on set, listen to the podcast.

“It was a lot of empathizing. I would do long phone calls with Abel (Tesfaye, aka the Weeknd) after we had met, just basically talking to him and finding out more of his history, where he was at in different phases of his life, where he's at today, and using those to create a character. And part of creating that character is I'll find my own personal stuff to attach to it… Portions of his life I can relate to very much. And past all of that, I think this is the deepest I've gone with my therapy background and my mom and stepdad being therapists. I tried to make the movie work to where if you just want to watch the movie at surface value and go on a ride with it and experience it and not think about it again, hopefully it works on that level. But also if you want to look at it and interpret it on a whole deeper, hopefully richer level, there's a lot going on,” says Trey Edward Shults, director and co-writer of the new film Hurry Up Tomorrow on how he took Able “the Weeknd” Tesfaye's story and made it personal to him.  On today's episode, we sit down with writer/director Trey Edward Shults to discuss his new film Hurry Up Tomorrow that stars the Weeknd, Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, about a rock star who goes on an existential odyssey after losing his voice on stage.  Shults shares his journey to becoming a filmmaker, working with visionary director Terrence Malick, making the highly biographical film Krisha (2014), and the shockingly ominous horror film It Comes at Night (2017).  He also shares this advice for writing your first film: “It has to be something you are so hungry to tell. And it has to be something you would die to make. You know what I mean? At least to me, my approach was I like to make stuff personal and they always say like, write what you know, write the personal thing. But I just think it needs to be something you're crazy hungry to do no matter what,” says Shults.   To hear more, listen to the podcast.

“For me, I don't know how you could not make [a script] personal. I think drama allows you to hide how personal it is. I think that's kind of what I like about writing in the genre space. On the outside looking in, it just looks like a big action movie. It doesn't look like a personal story. But there are personal elements like my mom was a working mom as well. And so that's why you have Kyra in the movie who has to come back to her son because she's been working to protect him. That's a very personal thing… but you would never assume that it's a personal story because it's wrapped up in the action,” says Leon Chills, co-writer of the new film Shadow Force, about writing action from a very personal point of view.  On today's episode, we talk with director/co-writer Joe Carnahan and co-writer Leon Chills about the new action flick Shadow Force that puts a family at the center of the action. With a bounty on their heads, Kyra (Kerry Washington) and Isaac (Omar Sy) must go on the run with their young son (Jahleel Kamara) to avoid their former employer, a unit of shadow ops that has been sent to kill them. Carnahan and Chills talk about the challenges of writing action set pieces and the power of giving the story emotional weight. We also discuss trying to push the boundaries of the action genre to invent set pieces that are fresh and inventive, and writing action scenes on the page that are compact and concise.  “As an older writer and doing it as long as I have, I'll tell screenwriters, if I see four or five lines of scene description, I'm telling you, do it in two. Do it in one. Let people spend 40 minutes reading your script. No more. You know what I mean? Get through it with that kind of economy. If you've ever read M. Night Shyamalan's Sixth Sense script – it's an absolute masterclass in how to do that. Just so sparse and beautiful and pitch perfect the way that things are written,” says Carnahan.    To learn more about action writing and hear more advice, listen to the podcast.

“Fugler (Robert Carlyle) was a character that I really connected with from the beginning. I know it sounds a little strange that the Nazi was my way into this, but it really was that idea of, ‘How can we get inside his head and make sure that he's a fully fleshed out person that way?'” says Josh Salzberg about trying to make his villain, a Nazi named Damien Fugler, a three-dimensional character. Josh Salzberg wrote the screenplay for The Performance with co-writer/director Shira Piven. In this episode, Salzberg talks about the challenges of adapting a short story by playwright Arthur Miller that's about a Jewish-American tap dancer (Jeremy Piven), who's willing to compromise his own core values to find fame and fortune in Nazi Germany.  “The idea of all [the characters] is that they're all performing on some level. They all have another life. And that's true to show business, that we all have sides of ourselves that we're not sure we want everybody to see or that it's okay for everybody to see. And then in Berlin in the ‘30s, there's all these different communities that were impacted – not just the Jews in Germany,” he says.  Salzberg also talks about his background as a film editor, how it helped him transition to screenwriting, and the challenges of writing morally compromised characters like his protagonist, Harold.  “I think embracing the mistakes that they make, embracing those flaws and leaning into that is important. Sometimes we can care about our characters to the point where we want them to be likable, which is a note we always get, but we've got to be okay with the mistakes – and the consequences for those mistakes. And that was a lesson that Shira and I kept learning as we were developing the script,” he says.  To hear more about Salzberg's writing process, listen to the podcast. Please note: this episode contains discussions regarding racism and anti-semitism. 

"Better Man" had its world premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its elaborately staged and choreographed musical sequences from director Michael Gracey ("The Greatest Showman") and the raw honesty with which global pop star Robbie Williams allowed his story to be told (all the while being portrayed on-screen by a CGI monkey nonetheless). Gracey and Williams were both kind enough to spend some time speaking with Daniel Howat and Dan Bayer, respectively, about their work on the film, which you can listen to below.

“I would argue that the movies, the plays, the stories that endure and certainly that resonate in the most populist and global way are the ones where we're not just observing a piece of storytelling, we're participative in some way and it's connective. How can any of us who are flawed humans connect with a flawless hero? The beauty of Wade [Deadpool] and Logan [Wolverine] is that really, they're two anti-heroes. They do not abide by typical moral codes. They both have been scarred deeply. And I think one thing that's really interesting about them is that the worst thing that's ever happened to them is also the source of their superpowers. Which I think, by the way, is something worth thinking about in all our lives – that the things that we had to get over are also the source of our strength,” says writer/director of Deadpool & Wolverine Shawn Levy.  In this episode, we discuss the elements that Levy thinks make a great hero and also a powerful villain like Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin).  “There was something really juicy about [Cassandra's] twinship with Charles Xavier, that this villain is a new villain who has never been in a movie, who has never been anywhere other than the pages of a Marvel comic book. But there is this connective tissue to deep beloved, extensive mythology with Professor X and Charles. So we did lean into her resentment, her envy of Charles. You know, I think maybe one of my favorite couplets of our writing in this movie is when Cassandra says to Wolverine, ‘He must have really loved you.' And he says to Cassandra, ‘He would have loved you too. He would have torn a hole in the universe if he knew where you were.' I get goosebumps saying it now!” says Levy.  We also break down that hilarious fight scene between Deadpool & Wolverine that takes place entirely inside a Honda Odyssey. To hear more insights about the highest grossing R-rated comedy of all time, listen to the podcast.
