Transcript
- 0:00G'day. That's right. It's that time again. Time for Cinema Yugen.
- 0:16Gagan Heights! Welcome back. It's your host, Ked Hill.
- 0:20Welcome back. Cinema Yugen. And Raymond Wallace's paranormal investigations
- 0:25reminded me of Daniel Minahan's brilliant 2001 film,
- 0:30Series 7, The Contenders, which charts the fates of the cast members of a reality
- 0:36TV show attempting to survive.
- 0:38And in his movie six people have to avoid
- 0:40being killed by each other but wallace takes
- 0:43this element and splices it with the found footage
- 0:47genre creating something that's slick
- 0:50smart funny furiously horrifying it
- 0:54could be seen as suicide to reveal the ending of your movie in
- 0:58the opening stages but what you learn as
- 1:01paranormal investigations carries on is
- 1:04that not everything is going to go the
- 1:07way you think it's going to go we've talked to the wonderful
- 1:11raymond wallace but now we have with us the star of the movie jamie bernadette
- 1:18to talk all things paranormal investigations put your hands together eugenics
- 1:24here she is jamie bernadette G'day Jamie,
- 1:29Thank you so much Thanks for having me Thank you for being here This was Like
- 1:34I was saying to Raymond I really enjoyed This movie The show within the show Within the show of it all.
- 1:42How, how, how much did you enjoy? How much did you like?
- 1:47Well, first of all, have you had any real paranormal encounters?
- 1:54Uh, unexplainable encounters. Yeah. You know, it's funny.
- 1:58My sister, she lives in like a house that's in the country. It's probably a
- 2:02couple hundred years old. It's so old. They don't even know how old it is. Right. Right.
- 2:06And I don't know. I was staying upstairs in her house and I,
- 2:11I, I know this sounds really weird people are gonna be like oh gosh but no this
- 2:17is the truth i went into the hallway upstairs and i felt like there was a presence
- 2:22in the corner of the room like it was just this,
- 2:26overwhelming feeling like someone was there so i said to her the next day and
- 2:34her son was sitting there and her husband.
- 2:36And I was like, do you have a ghost here?
- 2:41She was like, oh, her mouth dropped open. She looks at her husband.
- 2:46She's like, I told you, I told you.
- 2:50Yeah. And then she started telling me all these stories where like once she
- 2:55was sitting there with her son and they were just sitting there and it was in
- 2:59the living room and they had like a leather couch.
- 3:01And then all of a sudden they heard, it was like someone sat down. Wow.
- 3:08Yeah. And they looked at each other and they were like, you heard that, right?
- 3:14Like, so it was just different stories like this.
- 3:17She started telling me that she never told me probably she was afraid I would
- 3:20think she was nuts or something.
- 3:22But so when I saw that, she like hit the floor and she was like,
- 3:26yeah, we definitely think so. And I was like, wow.
- 3:30Yeah. Because as I was saying to Raymond, like, if I was going into a haunted
- 3:35house or a situation like that, like, yeah, okay, I'll admit up front I'm skeptical,
- 3:42but it's not like I don't want to see something.
- 3:46You know what i mean like i do want to see something if someone says this house is haunted,
- 3:51then you know i don't want to be asleep and like have just a door open and closed
- 3:56or something oh what was that i want to see like i was saying i want to see
- 3:59a book levitate or you know something,
- 4:04measurable i want to see some measurable phenomenon you know what i mean uh yeah totally And I mean.
- 4:10The closest thing I got is the school I went to when I started high school had
- 4:16this separate building across the road where the girls kept all their stuff
- 4:21during the day because the girls and the boys didn't bunk at the same campus
- 4:25to prevent, you know, fraternization.
- 4:29And so the rumor had it that the building, there was a nun who had hung herself.
- 4:35There was this little tiny bell tower.
- 4:38And there was a rumor that a nun had hung herself there back in the 1800s or whatever,
- 4:46and a long time ago and one night we're out there and because we used to have these classes,
- 4:54sometimes at night and we're there waiting to be picked up and now look i can't
- 4:59confirm or disconfirm that this was the wind And...
- 5:03When I first went there, they reckon, you know, on a still and like a still
- 5:07and quiet night, sometimes you can hear the bell ring.
- 5:12Well, I did hear the bell ring faintly, but it did ring.
- 5:17Can't confirm whether it was the dead nun or the wind.
- 5:22So. Oh, wow. Oh, that must have been creepy.
- 5:27Well, yeah, because, I mean, you're standing there by yourself and,
- 5:30like, you've been told a hundred times and you don't know whether people are
- 5:33just having a go at you or whatever.
- 5:36And they're like, you know, on a quiet and still night, you can hear the bell faintly ringing.
- 5:44And it did. It rang once. But, again, can't confirm, disconfirm.
- 5:49Could have been the wind, could have been any number of things.
- 5:52Whether it wasn't a dead nun i will
- 5:55never be able to inform you but
- 5:57what i can inform our listening audience is that
- 6:00paranormal investigations is a great great movie jamie what was it like this
- 6:07must take this film must have taken you back to theater in a lot of ways because
- 6:11because of the coverage in this you're really kind of never off camera just
- 6:16like when you're never, when you're on stage,
- 6:18you're always on when you're on stage.
- 6:21Did that sort of factor into it, especially in the bits where you've got like
- 6:24the multiple camera situation.
- 6:26So you've got to be eternally on because it's picking up everything in those rooms.
- 6:32Oh yeah. In real time, simultaneously, all that sort of stuff.
- 6:37Absolutely. And, you know, that was something to get used to for sure,
- 6:42because I always had to just be aware of what I was doing.
- 6:46And even when, you know, we may have like a close up happening,
- 6:50we have the the wise in the corners of the room, all these different cameras and I'm still on camera.
- 6:55So it's like you're you're constantly on camera. So you have to constantly be
- 7:00aware of that and what you're doing.
- 7:03And you know what I mean? Whereas, you know, otherwise, you know,
- 7:07not in this sort of found footage genre.
- 7:10It's just like when the camera is not on you. So it's, yes, you can,
- 7:13you still perform at your height for the other actor, but you get a little break
- 7:19in your mind, you know, that you're not on camera.
- 7:23So it was never this way in this film.
- 7:26It was always like, and then you feel like, oh, we're done with the scene.
- 7:29And then, wait, do we need to, oh, wait, no, we don't need it.
- 7:32We got that because we got everything.
- 7:34It's, you know, it took me, it took me some getting used to for sure.
- 7:39Yeah. was it was it as meticulously scripted or
- 7:42was there room to improvise and
- 7:45some of those like say for instance some of the
- 7:48character moments like when you break character
- 7:52but i mean you're still the cameras are obviously still rolling but you're in
- 7:56between those moments like you know in between bits like oh let's do a promo
- 7:59over here let's do this over here and was that all as intensely was that all
- 8:05meticulously scripted or was there room to move in that.
- 8:09Stuff yeah it was meticulously scripted
- 8:12i mean raymond wrote a fantastic script
- 8:16you know and and he had his vision
- 8:19man he knew exactly how he was going to put this together because
- 8:22when i saw it i was floored how well done
- 8:25it was it was just so cleverly done
- 8:27real show yeah and so meticulously done
- 8:31so yeah the script was the same and i mean we we pretty
- 8:34much stuck to the script um okay yeah
- 8:38pretty solidly throughout so no
- 8:41i was just curious i forgot to ask raymond about it while i
- 8:44had him so so the bits so it was all like
- 8:47exactly scripted the bits where you drift between okay
- 8:50well you've shot like your promo and then you go into like the
- 8:53interpersonal relationship stuff
- 8:56so that that was all like in there exactly where it
- 8:59falls yeah right yeah
- 9:02yeah no because
- 9:05that's yeah because i mean like as i said to raymond
- 9:08i said that was one of the bits that that i
- 9:11really liked was that third layer of the
- 9:13interplay like you've got on camera you've got you've got the show then the
- 9:19show within the show but then you've got this other movie that is the interpersonal
- 9:23play between you making the show i mean obviously before things go sideways
- 9:29yeah so to speak yeah Yeah, absolutely.
- 9:34You know, was that part of the draw for you as an actor?
- 9:37Like the fact that it's not just like, I'm not just running around the house screaming.
- 9:41There's this third dimension like, oh, okay, we are actual people here.
- 9:47Absolutely because you know when
- 9:50i was playing like i'm presenting for the
- 9:53show yeah i'm acting one way and then when the cameras are supposed to be off
- 9:59right but we're not get a nosy cameraman right yeah you're still acting but
- 10:03you drop the the on-camera persona for the the private persona of your character
- 10:08right exactly or personal persona.
- 10:12Exactly so i'm more like we were more
- 10:15presentational when we were being
- 10:18on the tv show than the
- 10:21behind the scenes being normal then you know we're
- 10:24more natural yeah no as
- 10:27i said to raymond to another bit another element that
- 10:30i liked was the fact that because it
- 10:33like starts off pretty mundane there's a part we all
- 10:36discuss like making stuff up to
- 10:40like fill in fill in the gaps fill in
- 10:43the blanks and i said they must they must do that at some point on those shows
- 10:49like okay there's nothing really happening we need to like do something i know
- 10:54totally yeah that That always made me laugh when I, when I read it. Yeah.
- 11:01Cause I mean, I mean, unlike, unlike a film shoot or even an independent film
- 11:06shoot where everything is like, okay, we've only got X amount of time to get
- 11:10in there and get these shots and whatever else.
- 11:13As opposed to being in that situation where you're there rolling cameras effectively all night long.
- 11:20If you are one of these ghost hunter people and nothing happens,
- 11:24there's not even a bird tweeting outside or, you know, just nothing,
- 11:29just nothing out of nothing.
- 11:31Like if there was a creak in the floor, it would be something,
- 11:34but just nothing, you know?
- 11:37I mean, do you think that that's a like, I mean, look, put it this way.
- 11:42And as I said, this is not to disparage anyone who's ever done this or actually
- 11:46does it, but they know that they're on camera, right?
- 11:51For the most part. So you got to, there would have to be some element of, oh, did you hear that?
- 11:56You know, it's like all Matt's stuff when he's doing his promos where he walks
- 12:00into the room and he's like, oh, the force in this room is so powerful.
- 12:06It's dark. It's weighing in all, you know, it's like he knows.
- 12:13He knows that he's got to sell the...
- 12:15The dread that doesn't exist right oh yeah
- 12:19absolutely so he's had that plan yeah yeah
- 12:22so i mean yeah there has to be an element of it in real life where they're like
- 12:26well even if there's like a tiny little crack in like in the woods behind them
- 12:32or in the house behind like did you hear that and they're like yeah yeah i think
- 12:36it was yeah yeah i think let's go and investigate.
- 12:42Totally and if i think too sometimes like if you want to see or hear something so badly,
- 12:47that maybe your mind creates it too yeah
- 12:51yeah yeah totally like if you're sitting like particularly
- 12:54if you're like them and you're standing in these spaces
- 12:58and you're waiting for something like you're actually what
- 13:01you you find yourself physically waiting just to hear
- 13:04anything so the first sound that you hear is obviously going to
- 13:06be like did you hear that you know yeah yeah
- 13:10then of course with with your characters they
- 13:13have a different you know a different
- 13:16type of thing to worry about because they have the the effective
- 13:19uh measuring equipment so so we
- 13:22as the audience sort of see warning signs
- 13:26ahead of you it's almost like that the technology is
- 13:29a is a great sort of element to the
- 13:32ticking clock in the story because
- 13:35as the phenomena rises we see
- 13:38the the input on the you know like the the sound
- 13:42readouts and the temperature readouts and all that sort of
- 13:44thing as it goes further and
- 13:47further into that the hell house really
- 13:50exposes itself for its its reputation yeah for sure the temperature equipment
- 13:57got me i was i was like wow i i don't know that i knew something like that existed
- 14:02like before yeah i was like whoa that's pretty wild.
- 14:08Yeah. And I mean, no, so what, like.
- 14:12What was it like doing some of that?
- 14:18I don't want to give too much away. It's hard to talk about whether giving too much away.
- 14:21But once the phenomena starts to interact, let's say,
- 14:26with the paranormal investigators, can you talk a little bit about that,
- 14:31filming that sort of chaos, particularly when demons rise as they do?
- 14:38Mm-hmm well it
- 14:42was trying to recall each thing
- 14:45i know sometimes we would
- 14:48react to it being
- 14:52there when it wasn't there like demon so so you would film our reaction and
- 14:58then film the turnaround with the demon later okay right right yeah and then
- 15:05So it's just Raymond there going, okay, now I'm a demon,
- 15:08right? And so you're just like, oh, no.
- 15:11Yeah, like we have to react to something that's not there yet.
- 15:15Yeah, I had to do that a couple times, actually, and I'm thinking about it.
- 15:19So, yeah, that's where your imagination takes over, your childlike imagination and, you know.
- 15:25Yeah, old-fashioned make-believe stuff.
- 15:28Yeah, yeah. Because it's definitely –.
- 15:34Like I imagine it to be very difficult to showcase a great amount of emotion
- 15:40and a great amount of emotion and fear, palpable fear,
- 15:45when you're just reacting to the director. Okay, now there are demons here.
- 15:51And you have to like, because when you're scared, you're emotional,
- 15:55you know, because you're terrified for your life or you should be,
- 16:00particularly if it's a demon coming for you, right?
- 16:04Because, I mean, you're a fan of horror movies.
- 16:07That's what sells you on a horror movie is it's not so much the monster or the slasher.
- 16:12It's the – you buy the fear on the people's faces, you know,
- 16:17like Sigourney Weaver at the end of Aliens.
- 16:21Like she's – going down in that lift, she's terrified.
- 16:26Yeah. You buy her fear, but her fear – I mean, the thing about her character
- 16:32whose feet doesn't let her let.
- 16:34Let things stop it you know very similar
- 16:38to like your characters in this film like
- 16:41because they're hunting this phenomenon like any
- 16:44other any other you or me in that
- 16:47house the first time we hear a voice like get out of the house we're leaving
- 16:50i'm not staying i'm
- 16:54not staying there holding a camera or holding a candle i'm you
- 16:57know see you later run for us yeah
- 17:00i think it's funny too how we get all excited at
- 17:04first we're like yeah something's happening like
- 17:07i just got the biggest kick out of that part yeah you
- 17:10know like oh my gosh we're gonna be it's a real emotional roller caster rod
- 17:14because there's like this it's kind of a bit of a slow boil because like it's
- 17:19it's some people might say it's dangerous essentially alluding to the end of
- 17:26the story at the beginning because i I mean,
- 17:28they basically say that this is the final footage of the paranormal investigators
- 17:33that was uncovered after their unruly demise, you know, or whatever it is.
- 17:39Yeah, like give away the ending, yeah.
- 17:42Yeah, but that didn't take anything away from me at all, because like I was saying to Raymond.
- 17:49It reminded me of this other film that was set up like a reality TV show in
- 17:55the early 2000s called series seven, the contenders now completely different style of show.
- 18:00But what kept it interesting was the fact that it was set up like a show.
- 18:05It wasn't just the footage. Like it wasn't just like for argument's sake, like paranoia,
- 18:13What's the one where it's just the security cameras in the house?
- 18:15Is that paranormal activity? Like, yeah.
- 18:19Yeah. It's not just, it wasn't just like footage, you know, like your film isn't
- 18:24just the footage, like just raw.
- 18:27There's nothing done to it. There's no music. There's no, you know, effects, you know.
- 18:32Yeah. And I find I like films like yours and that one more because it still
- 18:40is found footage, but it's just, It's not presented just as,
- 18:44you know, this is the raw footage as it came out of the camera.
- 18:48So it's, if it's sloppy and it's not edited, look, it's an excuse to make a
- 18:53movie without really putting much effort into us.
- 18:56And Raymond sort of said, it's actually harder to make found footage than it is.
- 19:03To you know just like to capture it
- 19:06if it's just regularly captured because obviously when
- 19:10your characters are making this they don't know that they're going to
- 19:13meet with anything nasty you know
- 19:16yeah yeah i actually was about to say the same thing too
- 19:19that it's harder actually to make found footage
- 19:22yeah i think it's just so much more to
- 19:25think about like no like you
- 19:28can't just place the camera where you want it or like you
- 19:31it has to make sense like the cameras are here so
- 19:34this has to work you know you can't just
- 19:37manipulate cameras that you've
- 19:39already right yeah i think it's much harder it's much
- 19:42more to think about the coverage is just
- 19:45way different than normal you know yeah i
- 19:49i think it's way harder yeah and so
- 19:52what was it what has it been like have you seen this have you
- 19:55seen the film with an audience yet no not
- 19:59with an audience um i got a link film though
- 20:03but yeah yeah no i'd be curious to i'd
- 20:06be curious to see how it you know how
- 20:08it plays with an audience because there's
- 20:11some there's some really again not
- 20:14to give it anything away because i don't i won't be able to watch the.
- 20:17Movie but the some of the uh
- 20:20the scares and the kills were didn't
- 20:24see that coming you know
- 20:27oh yeah man the kills were good right yeah yeah
- 20:31they were so good oh my goodness yeah like
- 20:35i thought this was gonna be like whenever you hear paranormal and totally think
- 20:40oh it's gonna be a lot of doors slamming and people being dragged across floors
- 20:45but this this swings for defenses this is a real this is a real horror movie
- 20:50with real horrible stuff happens to people, right?
- 20:54Oh, yeah. Gruesome. Yeah.
- 20:57Yeah ghosts could be so violent i know,
- 21:04yeah lucky like it's probably probably a
- 21:07good thing that we haven't either encountered one of these ghosts that you know
- 21:11that doesn't really like people and like in the middle of the night picks you
- 21:15up and like throws you across the room and i know i know the next minute you
- 21:22get picked up and thrown across the room. Oh, yeah.
- 21:27Get out of there. Yeah.
- 21:30Yeah, totally. The Raymond, he handed me the handheld, trying to think if it
- 21:36was the infrared camera or which one.
- 21:39And he's like, go in the room and run around and screaming and I'm holding it and it's on me.
- 21:44And like, it's just a different filmmaking experience.
- 21:48You know it was so much fun and then i'd be
- 21:51like okay i'm done and then he'd watch it you know
- 21:54we had this is so many different cameras having
- 21:57that handheld too was right a
- 22:00lot you can do that but yeah it was a lot of fun the
- 22:03throwing around the room thing you mentioned made
- 22:05me think of that because yeah because it
- 22:09must be it must be nice sometimes to to be
- 22:12the one controlling the tempo of the scene it's like
- 22:15i was saying with raymond about the split screen action because
- 22:20you've got because you have the potential to have characters
- 22:23in every frame because of the
- 22:26way the cameras are fixed that must
- 22:29have been fun dictating the tempo like if you're down say
- 22:32in this camera down here and you have characters in the frame
- 22:35above because that's just upstairs or around the corner
- 22:38then you've got characters in another room that's around
- 22:42the corner from that or or downstairs or whatever was
- 22:46it fun essentially you like whichever frame
- 22:49you're in dictating the tempo knowing that it's all being
- 22:52captured so all you've got to do is like once you get through wherever and back
- 22:56up to so and so was it fun to to essentially be in control of the tempo or the
- 23:04or the pacing of the action because essentially there's all it's all eyes all
- 23:08cameras are on you you can't.
- 23:10Not be captured you've just got to control the situation.
- 23:14Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, you don't know what Raymond's going to use to
- 23:18like the way he's together.
- 23:20He's picking and choosing shots and it was done so well, so well organized.
- 23:27So, yeah, you just always have to be on your game wherever you are.
- 23:33I would be walking in a room, looking around, seeing where the cameras are.
- 23:37Like, are there cameras in here?
- 23:38Like, you know, you don't know when you're on camera. It's actually weird when
- 23:42there's a break because like, you know, there's like, oh, yeah,
- 23:45there's no, you look around and go, yeah, there's no one filming me.
- 23:49Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'm sitting quietly and have a cup of coffee.
- 23:53Yeah. Yeah. Before I step back into the eternal spotlight. Yeah.
- 23:59I would forget to, oh, there's a camera way down the hall up in the corner.
- 24:04Like I would like, oh, yeah, we've got that. It's over there. You know?
- 24:09Yeah. that must feel that must feel strange in some ways knowing that there's
- 24:14that there's a camera on you but then there's the show camera on you but then
- 24:20there's also a camera in the room,
- 24:22on you yeah so yeah and and and all the while you can't react to either any.
- 24:34Yeah yeah completely different filmmaking experience that's pretty busy that's a busy,
- 24:42situation i mean compared to compared to the other films you've done which is
- 24:46which is probably more traditional like you've got the one camera and you do
- 24:50your you know your side their side master shots and all this whereas this is
- 24:56like a continuous He was...
- 24:58Because the scenario is meant to be a continuously filmed experience,
- 25:04was it filmed the same way?
- 25:08We're filming this like it is a continuous experience? I mean,
- 25:12no, we would take breaks in between the scenes and stuff. Right. Yeah.
- 25:18So there wasn't any long periods where you were trying to get as much footage
- 25:23in the multi-camera setups?
- 25:26There was. there was one where we were running around from
- 25:30room to room that we did that was multiple cameras in all the rooms and we went
- 25:36yeah and we had a whole choreographed sequence there through all the different
- 25:41rooms so yeah we did do that yeah and uh and unfortunately i know that there's there's.
- 25:51Probably more than likely your character won't be coming back.
- 25:54Probably not. Unless it's a prequel and we all survive. Yeah.
- 26:00You know, but yeah, unless I'm- A very Shakespearean ending. Yeah.
- 26:05Maybe I'm a ghost that comes back and, you know. Yeah.
- 26:09You're one of the terrorizing poltergeists now. Yeah.
- 26:14Coming back for revenge against the broadcast company that didn't warn you.
- 26:20Against the fact that the place was actually really, really,
- 26:25really badly haunted and that your entire team would regret the night completely.
- 26:37So, I mean, obviously you've seen the film, obviously, how do you feel?
- 26:43I mean, being a fan of the genre and a star in the genre, How do you feel it
- 26:50stacks up with what's out there?
- 26:54I think it's incredibly unique, very creative, very well put together.
- 27:00I was very blown away. You have to be a very meticulous person,
- 27:04very extreme attention to detail to put that together.
- 27:09Yes. I was truly blown away by what Raymond did. Yes.
- 27:14He's obviously brilliant, you know, it was just, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.
- 27:20Like I, I thought it would be good. I did, but I didn't expect that,
- 27:26you know, I didn't expect that, how it was just, I don't know.
- 27:31It was different, you know?
- 27:33It adds a, another chapter or another interesting addition to the found footage
- 27:40genre, which, you know, there are some good ones.
- 27:44There's some bad ones did you ever see that m night charm on one
- 27:47the visit yeah i love blair witch i've
- 27:50always yeah did you ever see the visit
- 27:52was that it's about the two the two kids go to see their parents was that a
- 27:59long time ago mid mid sort of i can't believe i haven't seen that because i
- 28:04like that one i won't i won't if you haven't seen it i won't give away the twist it's got a really, M.
- 28:10Night Shyamalan's noted for his twist. I know.
- 28:16Yeah, that one has genuinely one of the better twists that I didn't see coming.
- 28:23So I won't spoil it for you. Check out The Visit.
- 28:26Okay. Even though there's some situations in that, and I'm glad it's not in
- 28:31paranormal investigations,
- 28:33because Raymond asked me if I thought there was any flaws in the film,
- 28:37and I didn't think of this i only thought
- 28:39of it now but i'm glad that it didn't
- 28:42have any situations where you feel
- 28:45like someone would just a normal human being would just leave the camera why
- 28:51would you keep filming you know those you know there's some scenes in those
- 28:55these found footage movies like they would they would leave the camera they
- 28:59would run for their lives right yeah they pick the camera up and they keep yeah.
- 29:06I think I just, I rationalized it.
- 29:09Like, I mean, I know my character anyway.
- 29:12Like I was so obsessed with this show doing well and the dollars that I thought,
- 29:20well, if I get out. You make it look a personal.
- 29:23We'll have some good footage, you know, like I, I feel like,
- 29:26I feel like, I feel like that was in the back of my mind.
- 29:31You know, you think that might be the thing though, that they say them in these
- 29:34films, like make it a personal.
- 29:36Personal choice do you pick up the camera or don't you you
- 29:39know because i mean look i know in some instances they have
- 29:42to because the narrative relies on the fact that they pick
- 29:45up the camera and that they keep filming what's going
- 29:48on yeah i know we were using it for
- 29:50a light source in a lot of the scenes it was
- 29:53right right yeah yeah so there's a practical there's a
- 29:56practical application for it too so but i'm
- 30:00glad that there wasn't any moments what there have been
- 30:03in some of these films of the genre that
- 30:06that there's just moments where he's just
- 30:09like no no you wouldn't pick up the camera you'd run
- 30:12you'd run wouldn't stay you know
- 30:15it's like it's like when they always like whenever there's like something chasing
- 30:19people in a house or something they like why go deeper into the house like smash
- 30:25a window and dive outside you know like yeah do you feel that way watching horror
- 30:31movies you're like just just leave just go just get out what.
- 30:36Yeah for sure and there's always the oh let's split up thing you know and there's
- 30:42always that moment they get to the point of no return yeah yeah that point of
- 30:47no return where they've had every chance to leave and they've just let it go
- 30:52and now it's beyond the point and now,
- 30:55everyone's in for it yeah yeah but i mean look at the same time that that means
- 31:03it's working too right if i'm
- 31:05screaming at the tv or at the cinema screen like get out of there right.
- 31:10It's the work is effective right totally
- 31:14i think that's one of the reasons why people love horror so much
- 31:17because it's very interactive yeah it's very
- 31:20like what would you do and no do this don't
- 31:23do that go here you know like that's why
- 31:26i think one of the things people why they why they
- 31:29love it so much it's a very popular genre yeah you
- 31:32can get you can get invested the good ones have
- 31:35you invested and and that's the
- 31:38secret just like uh paranormal investigations and my wonderful guest jamie bernadette
- 31:43all of the characters in this people and we get to see them interacting as characters
- 31:49they're not just cardboard cutouts that scream at the right times we get to get to See them,
- 31:55get to know them a little bit so that when tragedy befalls them, we are invested.
