Horror: What better genre for independent film?

Yes. Horror. Many close to me have asked why horror? Well, why not horror? Horror is perhaps the best genre to gain recognition in the low-budget independent movie industry. And when I say low-budget I really mean no-budget, as in 4-figures or whatever, not a 7-figure low-budget as many low-budget filmmakers are accustomed to. The genre has multitudes of film festivals designed especially for the genre unlike other festivals that accept literally anything with the exception of porn.

And of course the genre has gazillions of followers.

If I wanted to make a Disney-type G-rated fluff movie I would have written a Disney-type G-rated fluff script. I did not. I actually love good horror. Making one for practically nothing is challenging to say the least but I am always up for a challenge. The movie will contain harsh language, attempted rape, and many grisly murders.

I have nothing to say that is life-changing or profound in this movie. It is for entertainment. Period. No message. No pulpit moment. Just entertainment.

Cool.
