Osgood Perkins and Tatiana Maslany reveal the disturbing mystery of their custodian of the horror movie

Director Osgood Perkins Lately he has been in tears, cementing his place as one of the most distinctive voices of modern horror. Just out of the critical and commercial success of Longlegs and the Stephen King adaptation The monkeyPerkins is collaborating with Neon for his next original horror project, Custodian.

With Tatiana Maslany AND Rossif SutherlandThe film follows a couple whose anniversary was an escape in a remote cabin in something much more left.

The first teaser of the film has already left the fans of the horror in ruins, and during the San Diego comic, CB sat with Perkins and Maslany to dig in disturbing themes and in the unique creative process behind Custodian. When asked about the nucleus of history, Perkins said:

“It is the worst part of being male. It is a look at the disgusting mask. If you want to call it patriarchate, you want to call it misogyny, you want to call it toxic masculinity, as you want to call it.

“It is a representation of our worst self as men. This is my answer for you. Sometimes we have to look and be like,” EW, Gross “. And I think this Custodian It is a look at men, “gross”.

Maslany expanded on that idea, adding:

“I would say, in a sense, it is also a look at the disgusting women, if we become super binary about it. But I think it is the instinct that I ignore or the way you know something but you have an illuminated alone.

“Which is of course, I imagine, patriarchy. It is patriarchate. It doesn’t matter, these are men. Men suck.”

While CustodianThe thematic bite is acute, its production was far from conventional. Perkins revealed that the film was essentially written on the fly, with the writer Nick Lepard Arfando the script while the team shot the film. Perkins said:

“It was a bit written in real time by our friend Nick Lepard while we were making the movie. So we were as, we need a movie in a house. Yes, we need a movie in a house with two people. Go. And it would do it.

“And then he would report. And we would have said, fantastic. And then he would continue to do more. And therefore it was a kind of energy of the entire project was a little bit what we did it invented while we went on and we had had all the departments that made their development at the same time.

“So I was meeting Tatiana at the same time when Nick was writing the script at the same time when our producers knock on the doors trying to find places. And we had no money and we don’t have time. And in a certain sense it was like an expressionist painting.”
