INTERVIEW:
Look for our review this week on THE NEST !
THE NEST is a slow-burning, understated, backwoods spin on INVASION OF THE BODYSNATCHERS, with a squirm-inducing new twist, which works both as an icky eco-horror for entomophobes, and as a metaphoric exploration of addiction and its legacy, the various social pressures on working mothers, and the way in which childhood neediness can turn sour and malevolent. Deftly directed by James Suttles, the film stars Dee Wallace, Sarah Navratil and Kevin Patrick Murphy, and marks the feature film screenwriting debut of Jennifer Trudring, who previously penned the shorts THE EBBING and HERE THERE BE TYGERS, both of which were big hits with Grimmfest's audience
