Fresh
off success with SHOCK VALUE, director Doug Rath is testing the concept for his
next movie in an interesting way: creating a 6 second scene for Eli Roth’s The
Crypt as part of The Crypt’s 13 Days of #HalloVine.
"To
be honest I'd never made a Vine before. The prospect of creating something
mysterious and scary in 6 seconds was challenging - I'm used to thinking
in terms of long-format story-telling. It's no easy task to convey story,
character and tone in such a quick timeframe and I was surprised by how
addictive it is. There's something inherently surreal and rhythmic about
how Vine loops, it's hypnotic. The longer you watch it the more it evolves and
takes on new meanings. I look forward to creating more, and am excited
about using these quick glimpses as part of developing a feature film. As we
move ahead, Il Sonnambulo is going to terrorize you 6 seconds at a
time!"
The
Crypt, Roth’s multi channel digital scare network, has been hosting top
directors from across the horror genre as creators take on a new type of short
form filmmaking. When called on for his #HalloVine turn Rath took the
opportunity to create a chilling original clip that showcases the character
from what he hopes to be his next film, Il Sonnambulo.
The
dark scene, which is sure to intrigue horror fans as much as it scares them,
features two top Vine stars: Korbin Miles and Olivia Sui.
Roth
created The Crypt with an eye towards evolving trends in filmmaking and is a
fan of not only the format, but what directors can do with it.
“HalloVine
is a celebration of the independent spirit and creativity of the best DIY
filmmaking. It’s great for filmmakers to be able to come on The Crypt test out
their concept on our different platforms and use it to turn their vision into
reality and hopefully eventually a feature film or series.”
The
sneak peak of Il Sonnambulo can be found on all of The Crypt’s social channels
@fearthecrypt and on The Crypt’s mobile iPhone application. The direct link for
