I’m helpless to the impact that movie had on me. I think you’re gonna helpless to being influenced. Nicholas McCarthy: The Exorcist will always been an influence. Did those influence you or did you want to avoid repeating what’s come before in the creepy kid genre? Josh Weiss: I definitely picked up Exorcist and Omen vibes when watching the movie. As soon as I read it that first time, I went from saying, ‘Oh, this is fun’ to then saying to myself, "Oh gosh, I gotta make this movie, because of where it goes." It wasn’t a movie that ends with an exorcism and a bunch of flashing lights-it went to someplace that felt more real to me. The script had this kind of dark sense of humor and then it just went into this very shocking place and it was really the third act that got me. When I read Jeff Buhler’s script, he found this new way into it, which was unexpected. I think my favorite the original Village of the Damned, which is a kind of classic of the genre.
Nicholas McCarthy: I’ve always had an interest in making a horror movie that centered around a kid and there have been so many good ones.
Josh Weiss: What drew you to the project in the first place?
