Joshua J Miller M.A. Fortin The Exorcism Interview header
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Joshua J Miller and M.A. Fortin return to their horror movie roots with The Exorcism. The creative partners, and real-life couple, first broke out on the scene together with the 2015 meta-horror comedy The Final Girls, which not only saw largely positive reviews, but also has amassed a strong cult following in the years since its release.
Russell Crowe leads the ensemble Exorcism cast alongside Ryan Simpkins as Lee, Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, David Hyde Pierce, Marcenae Lynette, Tracey Bonner, Samantha Mathis, Adrian Pasdar and Adam Goldberg. Though a far darker approach to meta horror than The Final Girls, Miller and Fortin's unique twist on the genre proves to be a chilling and very well-acted affair.
Joshua J Miller: Oh, right, I forgot. Which is the ninth circle? I would say movies. No, maybe TV. Queen of the South was an interesting experience, I'll leave it at that. I think it was our love of the genre, the personal history that I have with the original Exorcist and my dad were all sort of the DNA of this. Interest in the themes of the movie, such as unresolved traumas, addiction, compulsion, all very personal, all very familial. So it just sort of felt like a natural for us.
Joshua J Miller: No, not really. I think that wasn't the intention, but in a weird way, we kind of like how the two of them have a conversation with one another. I have not seen the movie, to be honest. I'm not an exorcism genre fan, which is why we wanted to do something different with our movie. We love horror.Joshua J Miller: We like other subgenres, but to answer that question, I was like, "This is an interesting conversation.
There's a lot of life, and I think that's the kind of actor ideally you want, where, "Don't act, just say the lines as if you're just throwing them away, and just walk through the scene," because there's such a presence they have naturally, and I just want to look at them and study them.
