An Interview with Werner Herzog

Posted on August 27, 2010 in Interviews | No Comments

Werner Herzog talks with our friends at Killer Film about his film, My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done, the RED ONE camera, and his upcoming 3D documentary.

Jon Peters: In an interview I found, you were quoted as saying “I always wanted to make a horror film, but not with bloody axes and chain-saws. An anonymous fear should rather creep up at you.” I find that interesting, because many would consider your Nosferatu an anonymous character of fear creeping up on a victim from your 1979 film. What defines horror to you and what differentiates the horror between these two films?

Werner Herzog: I think that My Son, My Son What Have Ye Done is clearly different than Nosferatu, which was set in the structures of a genre film. What you were quoting is exactly what I really wanted to do, having some anonymous of fear creeping up on you and that what defines the film best.
