was more genre-adjacent,” says Reeder, speaking tofrom her home in Chicago ahead of the Berlinale premiere. “For this one, I thought: I’m gonna really lean into the genre [because] if you do it right, horror can make room for both the super cinephiles, the film scholars and the activists to have a conversation, while the super genre fans can just dig the blood and gore.”, which premieres at the Berlin Film Festival on Friday .
“I definitely have been accused of being a bad feminist for the stuff that I lean into,” says Reeder. “There are directors I know who won’t touch a story like this, who have rules: ‘no dead girls, no non-consensual sex,’ [but] I think using these horror film tropes gives me a sense of ownership. Women, both in real life and in horror movies, are the victims, they are the murdered, they are abducted, brutalized.
“I wanted it to look and feel like menstrual blood, more membrane-y, blobby, you know, not that kind of spurting stuff you usually see in films,” says Reeder. “At one point, we had the entire art department mixing these gallons of homemade blood. It was our own patented Jonny blood recipe, because really good blood is pricey and we knew, with the amount we were going to need, it wouldn’t be economical to buy readymade.
