David Goyer to Create Giant Clay ‘Golem’ Monster?
January 9th Rogue Pictures will be releasing The Unborn in theaters everywhere. Written and directed by David Goyer, the film tells the story of a Jewish spirit called a “Dybbuk”, which is the soul of a dead person barred from heaven. While Goyer tackles this Jewish mythology, he’s also interested in other legend… the GOLEM. Read on for the SpookyDan’s chat with Goyer about this “creature of clay.”
This morning at the junket for the upcoming film THE UNBORN director David Goyer spoke a bit about his future with horror films. Coming off the huge success of THE DARK KNIGHT, one would have to believe that he could get just about any kind of script made into a film, which is good considering how bizarre the one he really wants to make is….
“I would love to do another horror movie, THE UNBORN was really fun! I like horror films that feel a little more REAL,” Goyer explaisn exclusively to Bloody-Disgusting. “In this film we did a Dybbuk, a creature based in Jewish religion. Next, maybe I should do (a film about) a Golem, It’s something that we haven’t seen in movies since the silent era!”
The original German film, THE GOLEM, was set in 16th-century Prague where a Rabbi created a giant clay creature called “The Golem”. Using sorcery, he brings the creature to life in order to protect the Jews from persecution. Unfortunately, his evil assistant takes control of it, and uses it to against him by kidnapping the Rabbi’s young daughter. It’s one of the seminal pieces of early cinema that truly has not been revisited properly!
Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
