“When Alex Aja and Grégory Levasseur had written the script and came to see if I’d be interested in directing it, my first reaction was: ‘Does the world need another serial killer movie?’ And obviously the answer to that was yes! So it was important to have a fresh take and to attempt going places where very few movies have dared to go, and so we decided to tell the story entirely from the killer’s point of view, which no horror film had done before.”
