Leigh Whannell is my all-time favourite director! I love the Insidious films, they're so creative and unique, and as someone who's watched tonnes of horror movies, they're some of the few movies that still creep me out even after multiple rewatches because he creates such a fantastic atmosphere in all his work. I'm so stoked to watch this episode. I grew up watching Leigh as the movie guy on Recovery, and he was a huge part of my entry into loving movies and particularly horror cinema with Saw and hiring those movies from my local video store was so life changing. Can't wait to dive into this. Great stuff!
Great episode! I didn't plan on going to see The Wolfman in the theatre, but after hearing your convo (especially the bits about atmosphere and sound design) i'm definitely going to. I'd love to get a recommendation from daddy: my new release is Anatomy of a Fall. For my other picks i'll take Indiana Jones and the last Crusade and Rebecca (the Hitchcock version)
Note for future self: 3:10 Dead Silence 6:52 Perfect Days 6:53 Paris, Texas 6:54 Wages of Fear 7:13 Until the end of the World 13:47 Wolfman 19:24 Colors 34:24 The Fly 40:20 The Shining 43:56 Miami Blues 46:03 Raw 46:45 House Party 53:26 Quadecuc Vampir
I always remember Leigh from Recovery. I know it's obscure, but I have very strong memories of him as the movie guy on that show. It was really wonderful when I realised he'd been successful as a filmmaker after watching him as some random movie reviewer on Recovery.
