So, I’m working a consulting gig these days, putting together a marketing analysis for a horror/thriller/mystery script. It’s written in the style of an Italian giallo of the ’70s. Lots of sex, blood, red herring suspects, and nudity. It’s a well-executed script for its genre. But, I’ve spent most of the last two days delving into the genre’s cinematic history, current titles, fan base, distributors, and so on.
As a producer, it’s good to know that this isn’t a genre I’d want to personally spend my time on. I recognize it has its fans, and a market. But, being an integral player in making a movie that finds new and cinematically ambitious ways to kill mostly naked women is not on my list of aspirations.
Back to work…
