'Hereditary' is unabashedly a horror film, whereas 'It Comes at Night' was a lot of things: it was a thriller; it was a postapocalyptic drama. It was a slow-building, very dark movie about relationships. 'Hereditary' is also about relationships, and I hope it functions as a vivid family drama, but it is also very much a horror film.

The nice thing about a horror movie is that people go in looking to be unsettled.

It's easy for me to write a horror movie about real stuff because my mind is always going there anyway.
