RAIMI: That’s awesome. I bet that’s really the way to see this movie, because I could feel the nonexistent people around me really loving this. You were originally intended as a streamer, and then what changed? How did you break out and convince the great, grand 20th Century Fox to release your film as a theatrical?
SAVAGE: I don’t know. I wish I had a formula for that. The two things I really wanted to hit with this movie is I wanted to have a really powerful cold open that showed the audience we weren’t fucking around. I wanted to make sure the audience felt unsafe and unsure as to how far this movie was going to go.
SAVAGE: And it was really her job to make us feel that we weren’t just kind of telling a silly, flippant, monster movie. You had to feel the burden of the loss she’s been through for that ending to work.RAIMI: You showed a very skilled hand as a director in the dramatic scenes. It was very well-done with the actors and your subtle touch.SAVAGE: Well, two of the things that I admire most in your movies are your command of pace and tone, but tone especially.
