Totally Killer director Nahnatchka Khan discusses her experience making a slasher movie with Jason Blum and the team over at Blumhouse.
The Big Picture After the success of 2019’s Always Be My Maybe, director Nahnatchka Khan returned to the TV format to direct episodes of Young Rock, but now it’s finally time for her second feature film as a director, and it’s something quite different from anything she’s ever worked on before. It’s a slasher movie.
It takes a lot to scare me, but I did take Paranormal Activity home with me where I laid in bed after with the bedroom door cracked open and I remember looking down the hallway waiting for the bathroom light or something to randomly turn on. I kind of like that feeling though!That's why I keep coming back for more.
Here’s a good game for such a fun film with a great ensemble. Sometimes we play a slasher movie survival game. I’ll give you a few slasher movie character tropes and I want you to tell me which actor best fits that descriptor. Who's the one who everybody thinks is dead, but shows up at the last possible second to save the day?Who is someone who would walk into this scary situation and be like, “Nope, I’m leaving,” or “I give up?”She knows what she's doing, though. She's like, “I've been here before.”
KHAN: I think Blumhouse and everybody who works there, the great thing about them is they make movies. They love movies and they make movies, and I think a lot of times certain companies, it's almost like when they make a movie, they're forced into making a movie, where it's like Blumhouse is ready. They're like, “Let's go! Let's make something,” and they've got a real passion for it.
KHAN: Well, the thing that we wanted to do here because people are so familiar with time travel and I feel like there are so many rules and people get into that, I wanted it to be that Kiernan is also aware of that. She's even referencing, she goes back to 1987, but in ‘87, Back to the Future the movie has been released because that came out in ‘85.
KHAN: I think the first one is Olivia for young Pam. I think seeing her audition, she just embodied that 1987 Alpha Girl, but in a funny way. She was all of the things at once, and then seeing her and Kiernan interact, it was just like, that was it. I knew she was that role. So that's the one spectrum, and then you have other actors that are more like, “Okay, let's talk through the lines, and let's figure out …” But also I would say the young actors from the ‘80s, Anna and Stephi , and everybody who plays the Mollys, everybody's so young so it was really like dialing in the exact right vibe, making sure it didn't feel like they were acting ‘80s, but rather living there, you...
We’ve got to talk about that mask. Did the mask go through any kind of evolution? What is the biggest difference between the first type of mask that was presented to you and what it wound up being in the finished film? KHAN: There are so many elements. So it was a real Gravitron that we found from some carnies in Canada. We brought it onto the stage, we had three days to shoot that final sequence. Wherever our camera’s pointed, the part that you're not seeing, panels are taken out because we've got our cameras in there.
