DANGERFILM with Leigh Whannell director of Upgrade

In this episode of DANGERFILM Jack and André are star struck by Leigh Whannell, writer and director of UPGRADE, which is playing at the SFF. Best known for creating the hugely beloved SAW franchise, Leigh talks about how stand up is in fact scarier than SAW, what it takes to make a Leigh Whannell horror film, and radical filmmaking v.s his artistic process. While Leigh has made a career of creating horror entertainment and visually confronting films he also reveals the one confronting trope he refuses to show in his work. Talking to Leigh was funny, insightful, and for someone who created the most horrendously enjoyable booby trap films, deeply spiritual.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
