1:15:03
was that it really didn't have
its heart in the horror genre.
1:15:08
It had its heart elsewhere.
1:15:10
It had its heart in
the perverse-romantic genre.
1:15:14
The film performed very well in Europe
1:15:18
and I don't know quite why that is.
1:15:21
Maybe it's because
those genre distinctions
1:15:24
were not as well drawn at that time.
1:15:30
There's gonna be a shot
coming up - this shot here -
1:15:35
where Malcolm comes through
the shadows as a human being
1:15:39
and comes out as a cat.
1:15:44
So back there - that's Malcolm -
1:15:48
and then on the other side
of that shadow
1:15:52
is a black mountain lion.
1:15:55
And in the passage in between
Malcolm and the mountain lion,
1:16:02
we rotoscoped the yellow eyes in
so that the eyes would be continuous
1:16:06
from Malcolm's eyes
to the mountain lion's eyes.
1:16:39
I'm not much on storyboards,
never have been,
1:16:43
this was storyboarded
more than would be normal
1:16:46
because you had layers
of special effects.
1:16:50
You had appliances,
you had visual effects
1:16:54
and then you had animal effects.
1:16:57
So you had to have a clear idea
of what you were going to do.
