I just got back from Budapest for
my stint in
ERIC RED’S 100 FEET and I brought
some news back with me! The supernatural thriller (I personally call it a horror film) which stars Famke
Janssen is actually still in production at the moment but writer/director and site alumni Eric Red
took the time to give us the knife’s up on the film’s status of and some insight as to what he’s going for with it. Here is an excerpt;

ERIC RED: We’re
five weeks into shooting and the results have been amazing. Most of the major
scenes are in the can. A few still to go. “100 FEET” is definitely the best film
I’ve directed.
This is an elevated and classy horror film, where
tension and terror derive from character, suggestion and atmosphere. The film
does not rely on gore and body count like other recent films of the genre, but
when it does get bloody, it gets shockingly bloody. “100 FEET” will make you
believe in ghosts, but unlike the random unreasoning malevolence of the J-Film
spirits, our ghost has a legitimate grudge and it is very personal.
I’m shooting the film in Super 35 widescreen with a
realistic and elegant look. The visuals have a gritty contemporary edge, but
also a classical 19th Century ghost story feel with many scenes shot
by candlelight in the turn of the century New York brownstone where the story
takes place.
This is an old school style film that utilizes long uninterrupted
camera takes that focus on performance and atmosphere. However, the horror
action scenes are filmed in a hyperkinetic contemporary manner. In this way,
the film will hopefully be a satisfying visual fusion of the classic and hip…
