Interview with Director Paul China

Image
Australian brothers Paul China (left) and Benjamin, received rave reviews for their debut feature film, CRAWL, for which they have been compared to the Cohen Brothers. On the eve of the film receiving its much deserved UK TV premiere on the Horror Channel, Paul China gives us some insight into the making of the film. CRAWL is broadcast on Saturday October 5, 11pm. Have you always been a fan of horror movies? I am equally frightened and fascinated with them – ever since I saw John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’ as a child. Despite the fact that the horror genre is so popular and lucrative with cinemagoers, it is still sadly overlooked by some, and considered a low form of entertainment. A shocking notion, really, given some of the greatest films ever created can be labelled as horror – be it ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’, ‘Jaws’, ‘Alien’, ‘The Shining’, ‘Psycho’ or ‘Rosemary’s Baby’. Where did the inspiration for Crawl come from? It was based on another script my brother, Benjamin, and I had w

Interview with Neil Davies    By David Kempf Born in 1959 and getting older by the hour, Neil Davies writes Horror and Science Fiction. His favourite authors are Richard Laymon, Steve Gerlach, Arthur C Clarke, Frank Herbert, Brian Keene, Guy N Smith, H G Wells, Bram Stoker, Dennis Wheatley, Connie Willis, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Graham Masterton, John Wyndham, H Rider Haggard, James Blish... with more being added all the time. He's still writing and refuses to stop however much people ask him to. Expect more published works soon. Tell us how you became involved in writing fiction. I have honestly been writing fiction for as long as I can remember. Somewhere in the attic I still have an early piece of fan fiction from when I was about 10, based on the old TV series, Garrison's Gorillas. Lots of other scraps of stories up there too (including a Star Trek spoof). Hardly any were ever finished. When my parents bought me my very own Petite typewriter, I used to sit down at the bott

The China Brothers said today: "As filmmakers, we couldn't be more excited to see our debut feature, Crawl, premiere on the prestigious Horror Channel UK . This is our first television preview, and it makes it extra special knowing it will take place in our home country -- the very region where Crawl started to generate buzz and find its audience at the Frightfest Film Festival in 2012. We hope the loyal viewers of Horror Channel UK enjoy our dark suspense-thriller as much as we enjoyed making it. Claustrophobic heat and brooding tension seep from the screen in this character-driven hi-tone chiller set in an unknown rural town.
