The Cairnes Brothers Know What Makes a Great Horror Film (writer-directors: 'Late Night with the Devil' - 'Scare Campaign' - '100 Bloody Acres')

from 5AM StoryTalk · host Cole Haddon

'100 Bloody Acres' - 'Scare Campaign' - 'Late Night with the Devil'. Today, I'm joined by Australian writer-directors of these fantastic horror films - THE CAIRNES BROTHERS. We're going to discuss their unique blend of horror, comedy, and drama, growing up in the 80s on a mix of Hollywood and Ozploitation films, the breadth of what a horror film can be today in part because of Aussie filmmakers, and what the brothers describe as the genre renaissance taking place in Australian cinema today.A BONUS EPISODE with the Cairnes Brothers is also available via Apple Podcasts or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠at ⁠Substack⁠. In it, Colin and Cameron discuss a seminal piece of art from her life — the film THE STUNT MAN (1980).
