Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator) Talks with Robert Eggers (The Witch) for The Talkhouse Film Podcast

Recorded live at Soho House, one of the great living genre directors in conversation with the creator of the 2016's latest horror sensation.

The latest episode is the first in a series of podcasts brought to you by Talkhouse Film and Soho House, with whom we are teaming up to curate a regular series of special advance screenings followed by a conversation between the director and another filmmaker. Here, Re-Animator director (and regular Talkhouse Film contributor) Stuart Gordon talks with Robert Eggers, director of the horror phenomenon The Witch, with the two touching on such topics as the influence of Kubrick and silent cinema, the experience of casting witches and the need for  a "Ken Loach time machine to the 17th Century."  For more filmmakers talking film and TV, visit Talkhouse Film at talkhouse.com/film.
