As a filmmaker it’s hard to make a horror film in Germany because the big companies and the producers don’t believe too much in horror enough to give you a good budget. Marcel Walz: Oh Jesus that answer is huge. Can you speak to some of the differences you see between European and American horror? Geeks of Doom: I love foreign horror, and European horror is fantastic. It was a very tense shoot with a lot of emotions. It’s very special to me and to the whole cast and crew as well. three years ago and Blind was my first movie here. Geeks of Doom: You mentioned European influence, you are originally from Germany? I am a huge fan because of the European touch the films have in them and it’s something we tried to do as well with Blind. Zombi is one of my favorite old Italian horror films. Marcel Walz: Not really I am a huge fan of Fulci and Argento. Geeks of Doom: In terms of giallo, do you have a specific filmmaker you look to, whether it is Argento, Bava, Fulci, etc.? That was definitely a goal from the beginning.
It’s not really a straight horror movie, it’s more of a horror/drama and with all the colors and styles we have in there, it is very giallo. Can you discuss some of your inspirations for the film? I went through a big giallo phase last year and this felt like a modern day giallo. That may seem like a strange thing to say about a slasher movie, but there are some gorgeous shots and you used lighting so well. Geeks of Doom: I saw Blind a few days ago and man, this was a beautiful film.
