Trauma is a sensitive subject, nonetheless, its possibilities are infinite in film.

Can you hear that iconic theme tune ringing, sounding in your head?

This will not be a piece of Marvel fiction.

Horror is a commercial success, worldwide.

Horror donates so many angles to trial, it lets a writer/director and actor do as they please.

Man - wizard - myth - king, of horror cinema.

From 'pennies' to insurmountable amounts of profit.

With a low budget film, no studios nag you for that lead star. You can choose whom you please

A secondary reason why low budget is favourable.

Enough politics! Just focus on the film at hand.
