On the April 19, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor BJ Colangelo to talk about Abigail and present an interview with Radio Silence, the film’s directors.
Opening Banter: I want to read some quick feedback from our vampire episode yesterday. Eddie from Los Angeles wrote in saying “Thanks for another fun episode. Most of my favorite vampire movies at least got a shout out, but I do recommend 2012’s Byzantium, directed by Neil Jordan, who also directed Interview with a Vampire, and stars Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton. It’s a more realistic take while still having style, and it covers some themes you won’t likely find in other vampire tales. I’ve always thought this was underrated and underseen, so check it out. And of course, where was Vampire’s Kiss?

In Our Feature Presentation: Civil War Review: Alex Garland's Terrifying War Movie Will Leave You Shaken [SXSW 2024]

General thoughtsSpoilers: Biggest/best momentsWhat is this movie about?Garland can be kind of a prickly interview subject. I interviewed him several years ago for Annihilation and he was somewhat intimidating, but I think Jacob had a really good conversation with him and there are some really good observations and anecdotes in it that I’ll be thinking about for a while.Alex Garland interview
