KAY DISCUSSES BOOGEYMEN
Sam Raimi and Robert Taperts Boogeymen is currently filming in New Zealand, and The Herald Sun were offered a behind the scenes squiz. They caught up with Director Stephan Kay, where theyre currently shooting in an Auckland warehouse. Its a chance to do something odd, he says. Horror is a director-oriented medium, because your responsibility is to fuck it up a little, and I like that. Im into creating a creepy tone and making it psychological, rather than setting up a scenario and jumping something right out at you.
Kay says the films title will be probably be changed from Boogeymen. In it, Barry Watson plays a man who returns to his childhood home after the death of his mother. Once there, he must confront the terrifying visions that have haunted him all his life. Boogeymen is actor Watsons first film since beating Hodgkins disease.
Says Watson, Its quite a challenge for me, but Ive been ready to take on something like this. Ive been joking around with Stephen going I know Im carrying this movie, Im in every scene, but if it doesnt go well Im blaming you.
The film co-stars Emily Deschanel, Skye McCole Bartusiak and Lucy Lawless, who plays Watsons mother in the film.
Shes the drug-addled mother who gave up custody of her son and set him up for a life of psychosis and bitterness, Lawless says. That was attractive to me, to play the antithesis of what I try to be in my real life. And she also comes back to haunt her son.
