Kevin Lane's Spill Your Guts

This episode is a continuation of our last episode with actor Devon Sawa as we continue to discuss overlooked or under-seen genre films. As a quick recap, Devon is one of the stars of the 2020 hinterland horror “Hunter Hunter”. When the film came out the pandemic cost it the opportunity to play festivals or have a premiere and sadly, the movie didn’t get nearly the attention it deserves. It’s a smart, taught, shocking film and one hopes in time more people will discover it.

In this episode we are joined by the films writer and director, Shawn Linden.

Shawn and I discuss the major influence of dark 80’s fantasy classics such as "The Secret of NIMH" and "The Dark Crystal", the many hurdles he faced getting “Hunter Hunter” into production, how killing characters the audience expects to see save the day is effectively destabilizing and oddly not done enough and why audiences are far more comfortable seeing humans get killed on screen than non-human animals.

Let’s explore the savage and stark world of “Hunter Hunter” with filmmaker Shawn Linden!
