I remade.
I like movies about ghosts.
What if Celine & Julie Go Boating or Daisies was a horror movie? In Death Game, two rebellious women wreak havoc on an upperclass businessman's life. The lead actresses were writers on the film + worked on a Keanu Reeves remake (!).

Hole in the Head is a technically and conceptually rich new horror feature from Ireland that uses several different "retrograde media formats and technology". Notably, the filmmaker incorporates these tools not just through making the film, but into the film's story, since for Kavanagh "the material format itself is a site of great narrative potential".
The film was a result of extended research into the history of filmmaking. Kavanagh says his method making the film was formed around this prompt:…
tired: wondering what it was like to be in the audience when Alien (1979) debuted and having no idea about the famed chest-bursting scene coming
wired: wondering what it was like to be in the audience when Ivan the Terrible Pt II debuted and having no warning about the color section coming in near the end
