Lights, camera, awesome.
(CAUTION: this might be the most fun thing ever, so readers are advised to sit back from their screens a little lest they get knocked over by the force of my glee.)
Soft for Digging was an ambitious, oddly-paced, but ultimately rewarding film which certainly opened up new avenues for genuine artistic expression in horror--a genre not often thought to pay much attention to aesthetic nuance.
Since SfD came out in 2001, that film's writer/director, JT Petty has been awfully busy, penning scripts for the Splinter Cell games as well as a film adaptation of same. He also worked on the script for this year's Batman Begins, and has a horror/western called The Burrowers in production.
But what else is he doing?
Well, I won't give details, since I haven't asked whether or not I could, but I will say that he'll be murdering one of my roommates, and filming it in my bathroom! Come on now, what horror fan wouldn't love the chance to have his mildew-laden shower immortalized in a genre pic, occupied by his roommate's corpse, and covered in fake blood?
There's really no end to how cool this is.
