Monday, December 26, 2016You're always naive as a filmmaker, as in if you love something you can't understand why other people don't love it.") Yet, with a little seed money from the Irish Film Board, they headed to Bay City, Michigan, and shot some footage. O'Brien said, "That tiny test had everything that the feature has."Even with a proof of concept, it took another five years to get all the pieces together. However, that worked to the filmmaker's advantage. When they shot the test, Records was only 12 – too young to play the budding killer. O'Brien said, "By the time we came around, he was 16 going on 17."The delays had also seen potential names for the friendly but ailing Old Man Crowley come and go, until Lloyd signed on. O'Brien had the Taxi star on his wishlist, and when he finally read the script, "He absolutely loved the character of Mister Crowley, the Gothic nature of it, the duality of it. He rang me, and we had a really good chat that must have gone over an hour where I could see he had really good notes, and he'd really done his homework."With shooting imminent, there was one significant change from that old test footage. The production moved from Michigan to Minnesota, but there was an unusually mild winter, with only an inch of snow in Minneapolis. "We looked up at the Iron Ranges up near Canada, and the towns were very paint-peel, mining town, and luckily they always get snow."What hadn't changed was that, even with an Irish director, Irish financing, and several Irish talents behind the camera, O'Brien said that he was determined to make it in America. Wells even asked him if he had thought about transposing it across the Atlantic, and while he admitted that the narrative seems universal ("It's a kid in a mortuary in a small town") that's not what attracted him. "The book is so soaked with Americana that we thought it would be a big shame. For us, it was always that feel of the houses with the verandas, the snow, the heating plants. The fictitious town of Clayton had such a life to it as a character."I Am Not a Serial Killer (Shout Factory/IFC Midnight) is out on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack now. Also out now:Staying in the funeral home, Fantastic Fest 2016 fave The Autopsy of Jane Doe (IFC Midnight) hits VOD and limited theatrical today. The English-language debut of director André Øvredal (Trollhunter) stars Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch as a father and son carrying out a postmortem on a body from a murder scene. However, the logic of the scalpel tumbles as the corpse reveals impossible secrets in this eerie and effective horror (read the full review here.)Noir fusion The Frontier (Kino Lorber) played SXSW 2015, and finally gets a well-deserved and overdue Blu-ray release. It hits so perfect because it grasps, as Noir City Film Festival founder Eddie Muller explains it, that a noir is a "story where the reader can empathize with characters who are bad, who are doing something that's bad." Director Oren Shai strikes gold by bringing House of the Devil duo AJ Bowen and Jocelin Donahue back together as the eagle-eyed cop and the equally quick-witted criminal, dancing through the exploits of a band of ne'er do wells (read the full SXSW review here).Throwback Eighties homage The Barn has been gleefully four-walling its bloody way across the U.S., and finally heads home.
