#NeilMarshall

21 years ago, Neil Marshall’s “The Descent” (2005) premiered at Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, Belgium. Neil Marshall on the influences for “The Descent” (2005), the reason for choosing all female cast & the violence in the movie: “Interviewer: What drew you to the project? Marshall: I was looking to do something really scary after my first film. My first film, “Dog Soldiers” (2002) had come out more as a black comedy than a straight horror film, and I still had this hankering to fulfill the need to do a really, really dark and bleak horror film in the vision of horror films I grew up with and loved, and still love. Things like “John Carpenter’s The Thing” (1982) and “Deliverance” (1972) and “Alien” (1979). Interviewer: Why did you choose an all Female cast? Marshall: Just to be different, really. I thought it was something that was contemporary. I thought it was something that was unique, certainly within this genre of brutal action horror film. I thought it’d never been done before. I thought it’d be interesting to try something fresh, and I thought why not in this day and age. Interviewer: Are you happy with the level of Gore and Violence? Marshall: Absolutely. I still don’t think there’s anything in there that’s totally gratuitous. Everything in there is kind of necessary to the plot to a degree and necessary to the progress of the characters. Certainly in terms of the Sarah character, driving her insane as to what she becomes and what she turns into.”

Another slice from my chat with @conwaydirects - this time he talks about his long standing working relationship with horror maestro @neilmarshall_director and their work on #thedescent #filmpodcast #indiefilm #filmmaking

Three friends travel to Stanmore Country Park to watch the sunset. As evening settles in, a strange light appears in the sky and the forest begins to feel subtly, unnervingly wrong. Whatever is hiding between the trees does not wait for darkness. It hides in plain sight, close enough to sense but impossible to understand, turning a quiet evening into something terrifying. #thestanmoreincident #Shortfilm #filmmaker #horrorfilm #indiefilm

What a wild ride! My score for The Oval Portrait was nominated by two different organizations for best original horror/thriller scores for 2025. To be named with the likes of Elfman Tim Wynn, Alexandre Desplat, and Ludwig Göransson is truly wild. Never did I ever think that would happen. #film #filmmaker #greenscreen

Just had the most amazing chat with Renny Harlin, director of The Strangers: Chapters 1-3! From Die Hard 2 to Deep Blue Sea, his filmography is insane. What struck me most was his love for movies and the art of storytelling. His characters leap off the screen, especially Maya's journey in this trilogy. Full interview coming soon! #thestrangerschapter3 #thestrangerstrilogy #horrorfilms #filmmaking #scarymovies
