My 2022 ranking hasn’t been completed, as I still have films to get through, so I’m going to recommend three movies from my current favourites.

Did you set out to tell a horror story or did you realize during the writing process that the horror genre would best serve these characters?

The genre thing actually came first. I know that's the least virtuous thing to say, but I kind of have to be honest with you. We listened to a lot of synth music and looked at a lot of supernatural films and just felt that there was an opportunity within that genre to do something sort of existential. Whether it was Solaris by Ta
