DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
What we’ve tried to do with Dreaded Light is create an original and unique horror feature film. As fans of horror we don’t believe there are many films that score high when it comes to original content.
The two areas where we believe we can be different are:
1 – Cinematography: With one of our central characters having a phobia of daylight this is an area ripe for exploration. It’s one of the reasons why we spent so much time on selecting our Director of Photography.
2 – Authenticity: Every Spiritualist we spoke to (and there were many) disliked horror films because they believed them all to be inaccurate in their handling of spirit as subject matter. As a result of extensive research in the field we decided early in the process we would try to do something that Spiritualists themselves would consider to be authentic. This film is our best effort in that regard.
