“We love the classic horror films FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA as well as recent films like NOPE and BARBARIAN. Like these films, the Creature is the star of the film. The vast majority of our creature moments and action sequences are practical “in-camera,” leaning on our talented award winning SFX and stunt teams.” – producer Johnathan Brownlee.
