00:00Daddy, are we gonna die?
00:04No. It's my job to protect you.
00:07Cut. Very nice.
00:11When I was trying to come up with a new angle for the Wolfman story,
00:14I thought about werewolf movies,
00:16and I knew I wanted to give audiences something new to experience.
00:22A Wolfman story is about infection and transformation.
00:26So, after the last few years of turmoil that the world has been in,
00:30the themes of isolation and dread and anxiety
00:34were naturally coming out in the script.
00:36Hello?
00:38We were attacked by some kind of animal,
00:41and I think my husband was infected by it.
00:47What's wrong with Daddy?
00:50This film is my tribute to the 80s movies I loved growing up.
00:54Daddy?
00:58Movies like John Carpenter's The Thing,
01:00David Cronenberg's The Fly.
01:02What is happening to me?
01:05The world in which we sort of grounded this story in itself stands apart.
01:09Can you understand me?
01:14I can't hear you.
01:17You're scaring me.
01:21He has such an atmosphere in his directing.
01:23Seeing this thing come running in is what will scare the audience.
01:26He has a really keen eye for cinematography and sound.
01:33I just wanted it to be an oral assault.
01:37Run!
01:38I wanted to lean into something horrific, something visceral.
01:42You can really dig deep into someone's subconscious with a horror film,
01:46and I think we do that with this movie.
01:49Please, Daddy, it's me.
01:52That's the way it needs to be done.
01:56Daddy, is that you?
