Read our exclusive interview with horror screenwriter Tim Tori, who scripted the upcoming After Dark Originals film ‘Prowl.’ The movie is scheduled to open in a limited theatrical release on Friday, January 28, as part of the studio’s annual Horrorfest, more commonly known as its 8 Films to Die For Film Festival. Tori discusses with us, among other things, where he came up with the idea for ‘Prowl’ and what it’s been like working with After Dark.
Shockya (SY): ‘Prowl’ follows the story of main character Amber and her friends as they travel to their new apartment in the big city. They discover the driver they accept a ride from into the city is storing hundreds of cartons of blood in his truck, and takes them to a warehouse where creatures hunt humans. Where did you come up the idea for the movie?
Tim Tori (TT): The initial idea for “Prowl” was simply a reversal of the standard model. I noticed that a lot of horror films portrayed kids from the big city driving out to the middle of nowhere and running into trouble. I decided that it might be interesting to follow the kids who live in the middle of nowhere as they drive out to the big city. As it turns out, they also run into trouble.
SY: ‘Prowl’ is being distributed by After Dark Films, which has also released such movies as ‘An American Haunting’ and ‘Skinwalkers.’ What has your experience been like working with a production company that focuses mainly on horror films?
TT: My experience with After Dark has been incredible. Everyone at that company is committed to creating fantastic films. Working with them is like going to school because they’ve done this so many times. They know what works and what doesn’t, and they care about making their movies different and distinctive. They take their horror seriously, which is what I do. I had a blast working with them on “Prowl,” and we are making more movies together as we speak. In fact, I’d better answer these questions fast and get back to work!
