This looks promising – Juraj Herz, director of the supremely culty The Cremator (Spalovač Mrtvol, 1968), is finally returning to his favourite genre with a new horror film called Darkness (Tma), scheduled for completion next year.
Here’s a short interview that Herz gave to Czech newspaper Mláda fronta DNES, though he doesn’t seem to be giving much away (sadly, my neanderthal Czech isn’t up to a translation). Anyway, let’s hope it’s better than the last horror film that I saw with that title – my Sight & Sound review isn’t online, but let’s just say I wasn’t keen.
