Dave Franco explained : “I think most people know me from the comedies I’ve acted in, so everyone is surprised to hear that my directorial debut is a horror film. As a viewer, there’s nothing I enjoy more than a smart genre film,” “I love the work of this new group of genre filmmakers like Aster, Jordan Peele, Amy Seimetz, and Sean Durkin.
