Off Book #15 – Dolly, with Rod Blackhurst

This Off Book episode is a trip into the deep dark woods, for a very special playdate! Our guest is Rod Blackhurst, director and co-writer of the new retro horror movie, Dolly. It’s a film about a very scary house in the woods and the even scarier person who lives inside…and who wants nothing so much as a new toy of her own. Rod and I talk about the tone, gore and influences behind the movie – from 16mm classics to New French Extremity. We discuss the pathos of a truly great horror monster, and the physical performance that brings Dolly to terrifying life. I’m really cheering for this movie. It was so much more than I expected.
