It’s been about a week and a half since San Diego Comic-Con and since there was so much to cover this year, we are still bringing you Comic-Con interviews! I was lucky enough to not only sit down with the cast of “See No Evil 2″ to discuss the film, but also even got to sit down for a roundtable interview with the very lovable and bubbly directors, Jen and Sylvia Soska. Yes, they are twin sisters. These woman were so much fun to interview, and you’ll see why. Read why this film will go back to the 80′s horror films and will push the boundaries. The twins were asked about how they chose to go with the horror genre and when it started: Jen: “As far back as we can remember. I feel like horror chose us, rather than the other way around. Our parents, especially my mom, loved horror movies. She had this massive Stephen King collection and she would just let us watch what she watched, and she watched horror movies.” Sylvia: “We weren’t allowed to watch anything until we were ten. The one that really broke the seal was ‘Poltergeist,’ which is horrible for children cause it’s designed to terrify children. We made it through the entire movie, cause we were like ‘if we can make it through this movie, we can watch all of those films,’ and bedtime happened…we started to freak out as children do that have been traumatized and my mom did something that completely backfired. She explained everything that we had seen. She explained directors, actors, sets, monster makers, and said it was their job to scare people. Then we said ‘whoa…it can be your job to scare people?’ Then we became gore heads. We would tell our mom ‘we want to watch ‘Hellrasier,’ it’s just art.’” Jen: “And we watched movies that were just gore, blood and guts, and be like ‘they didn’t blend the lines very good there.’ She also tricked us into being really good readers cause she would be like ‘you can’t watch any Stephen King movie until you read the book.’ So, we would sit there with our massive novel and our thesauruses and would be looking up the F-word and be like ‘I don’t know what this means.’” nukethefridge/2014/08/06/sdcc-interview-see-evil-2-directors-soska-twins/
