Declaration

film director

“Nerds and geeks who divide the genre of horror movies into countless subgenres would label The Station an animal or monster horror movie or creature feature. However, the monster creatures in my film serve a bigger purpose: The Station is a horror movie which takes mischievous delight in showing what will face ‘civilization’ if there is no change in attitude. In The Station, the source of this horror is not an alien invasion from another universe, nor does it come from the depths of someone’s troubled mind, like in so many – almost too many – 20th century horror movies. The evil in The Station brings misery to everyone, making them shoulder the global guilt, the greatest sin of mankind: the systematic destruction of our planet.”
