In this segment of Show Us Your Shot, Gregory Blair pays homage to indie horror filmmakers, creating a disorienting feeling without the use of high-tech effects, CGI, or jibs and cranes.
“Deadly Revisions is a psychological thriller that pays homage to several horror films and filmmakers. In this scene, we wanted to give a loving nod to Sam Raimi and the Evil Dead films. The scene involves Bill Oberst Jr. as Grafton Torn—a horror-film writer with amnesia, haunted by nightmares—who is having a sort of breakdown/hallucination moment. We couldn’t afford jibs or cranes—just an old school, clunky dolly. But I think we pulled off the scene in a low-budget way that echoes Raimi’s fun style.”
