Director’s Statement:
Horror is my favorite genre, not only for its ability to scare the viewer, but also because of the opportunity it provides to explore the deeper themes beneath the surface. Often, when watching classic creature features or films where families are forced to fight demons, I would ask myself… “What about their pet? How are they going to escape this horror? Shouldn’t the family save them too?” I raised the question to my co-writer, Autumn Olson, and we began to develop the concept "Did You Remember The Cat?"
While creating this story, we asked ourselves, “What if this was set just after Act 3 of a classic horror, when our protagonists escape and then realize they must go back if they’re to rescue their cat?”. This allowed us not only to craft a story that nods to the familiar horror conventions we expect from a film, but also find a fresh take on the horror and bloodshed that our audience won’t be expecting. Our audience will have the added excitement of piercing together, “What happened here? What has the monster done to their friends? How (or…why?) did they summon this thing?”. We were inspired by classics like "Evil Dead", "Alien", "Shaun of the Dead", and "Jaws", and plan to pay homage to all the stories both we and our audiences love.
