The Child Remains is new supernatural thriller from writer and director Michael Melski which has been selected to play at the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival on Saturday 27th January. I got chance to ask Michael a few questions about the influences for the film, why he chose not to incorporate jump scares and his favourite scene in the film.
What can we expect from The Child Remains?
More character and story than you typically see in a genre offering. But I’ve heard its very scary as well. We’ve won seven Best Feature prizes at festivals around the world, plus 4 Best Actress wins for Suzanne Clement, so it seems to be striking a chord. Very excited to be at Horror-On-Sea, we’ve hoped to be at this festival since we were in post-production.
The film is inspired by the true story of the infamous ‘Butterbox Babies’. Why did you choose...
