Original subtitles

- I'm so glad you're here, you want some tea?

Water, juice?

Here, I'll show you these, you wanna see those--

- [Man] Is that them?

- [Woman] Yeah, yeah.

- Cool.

- See?

Yeah, just, I don't really know her very well.

- [Man] And this is the woman you met at the...

- [Woman] No, no, it's a friend of hers.

- [Man] Oh my god, who's this?

That's her sewing partner.

- [Woman] Oscar, yeah, exactly.

- [Man] Oh, story is developing.

- Yeah.

(both chuckle)

Look at his face in that one.

(doorbell rings)

Pizza.

I was hungry, sorry, I forgot.

I'll be right back.

Make yourself at home.

- Mm-hm.

(camera shutter clicks)

(camera shutter clicks)

Well, you're doing all right,

this is a nice pad.

(man sighs)

You don't have a drink, right?

Right.

- You want a drink?

- Hm, I could use a drink.

- Why, what's going on?

- Nothing, just...

Nothing.

- You wear your wedding ring on your pinkie.

- I don't, it doesn't fit, I'm so fat now.

(laughs)

- I got fat too.

- [Man] Yeah? - [Woman] Yeah.

- You look good.

- I'm fat.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Just by the scale, you're very well proportioned.

- I'm fat.

- Ah, whatever, we're all getting old.

- I got old and fat.

- We both did, everybody gets old.

It's all right.

- I don't think I can deal with it very well.

- I can't tell what's going on with you,

you seem a little...

Are you feeling unsettled?

- Come here, come here.

I just wanna...

I'm sorry, just one second.

- Mm-hm.

- Okay, bye.

- Bye.

It's good to see you.

- It was great.

- Mmmm, okay, all right.

- I'll see you later.

- Yeah, okay, awesome.

- I'm just--

- [Man] Bye June.

- Bye.

(door shuts)

(somber cello music)

(rapid eerie strings music)

(howling like a wolf)

- I think I got some attention for some work

that didn't really deserve it at an age

when I had a hard time handling it,

and it wasn't a whole lot of attention

but it seemed like a whole lot

to, you know, a library weenie from the lower level

of Frost Library in Amherst College,

and I had a hard time with it.

And I was lucky enough to have a really hard time with it,

at an age early enough so that there was

something left of my life when it was over.

(mumbles)

If you wanted something really exciting or sexy,

there really isn't much, I just got really unhappy--

- [Voiceover] But you, I mean, it was drugs

and you were suicidal and--

(tape squeaks)

- That wasn't the problem, the problem was,

I started out, I think, wanting to be a writer

and wanting to get some attention,

and I got it really quick--

- [Voiceover] By writing.

- And realized it didn't make me happy at all,

in which case, hmm, wanting my writing.

(tape squeaks)

- I think, I think it's too Wolfman.

- Okay.

Coloring-wise, will this work?

- [Director] Fine, it's fine.

- [Makeup Artist] All right.

- [Director] Like this is Wolfman,

and we're not making a wolfman movie,

we're making a werewolf movie.

Well, you and I will worry about that.

Let's just, let's apply this,

because she's never done this before

and I don't want her freak out

about having foam on her face.

- [Makeup Artist] You've never had this done?

- No.

- [Director] It's not a big deal.

- [Makeup Artist] It'll be really easy,

we'll fly right through it.

- Are there gonna be nose holes?

- [Makeup Artist] Today's doesn't have nose holes,

but I guarantee you'll definitely have

a lot more breathing room.

- [Director] Make a scary face.

(movie camera whirring)

Yeah, that was good.

It's hard for them to visualize it now,

but I think it's gonna make sense.

Like I think you and I are on the same page--

- [Makeup Artist] Yeah, yeah, definitely.

- [Director] And I think, like, here,

hold this up to your face.

Because since June is the older version,

the design should be similar

but I think it needs to be, like, droopier,

like the cheekbones could come down some.

- [Makeup Artist] Oh yeah, okay.

- [Director] I mean, I don't know

if it's a huge pain in the ass.

- [Makeup Artist] No, no, no.

- [Director] But I think, like,

because if on Claire you build it up

and she's more this, like, young, like,

wolf, I don't wanna say like, wolfling, little wolf,

but like, there definitely has to be a difference

in the older version of her.

- [Makeup Artist] You need to see the age.

- Because it's been 20 years

and it's like the '50s now,

and it's gotta be, here,

we gotta take this away.

- Old MILF wolf.

(June laughs)

- This is what happens...

WILF.

All right, here.

(ominous string music)

(camera shutter clicking)

- [Boyfriend] She seems pretty laid back.

- [Claire] She's great.

- [Boyfriend] Yeah?

- [Claire] Yeah, no, I really like her a lot.

- [Boyfriend] She's not weird and movie star?

- [Claire] Actress-y.

- [Boyfriend] What's she like?

- [Claire] She's really nice.

- [Boyfriend] She got a crazy ego?

- No.

- Could you tell right away?

She was jealous and competitive with you?

- Not at all.

- [Boyfriend] What's the director like?

- [Claire] He's cool.

- Did you talk about me, or did you fail

to bring up the fact that you have a boyfriend?

- No, you came up.

- Ah, "came up," I'm sure I came up,

that sounds about right.

I'm sure the guy thinks I'm a real clown.

He's laughing with his friends right now.

- He hardly knows anything about you.

- [Boyfriend] "Yeah her boyfriend makes movies."

- (laughs) Quotation marks.

- [Boyfriend] Yeah, exactly.

I'm very excited for you.

- I'm excited too.

- [Boyfriend] You like these people?

- I think so.

- [Boyfriend] Are they nice?

- Yes, they're nice.

- [Boyfriend] Were you too nervous today?

- Yeah, I was nervous.

- [Boyfriend] I'm sure they all loved you.

- I got less nervous then.

I think it'll be good.

- [Boyfriend] Good.

Wanna go to sleep?

- Yeah.

- [Boyfriend] Yeah, tired?

- Do you?

- [Boyfriend] Yeah.

- Okay.

- [Boyfriend] Okay.

(somber string music)

- You're standing here and you're looking me in the eye

and telling me me that you're a coward?

I hate you, I hate you so much right now.

- You would, you would.

- Of course I would.

Then tell me what to do.

Tell me how to deal with this.

- Okay, okay good.

Good.

Awesome.

Thank you very much.

- [Man In Blue Shirt] Okay, thank you.

- [Casting Director] Thanks for coming in.

- Oh, my pleasure, thank you,

thanks for...

- I didn't mention I'm camera shy?

(both laugh)

- No, you didn't.

I didn't mention I'm blind in one eye?

(Claire laughs)

I only look one in the lens.

No, it'll be all right.

Casting is always such a frustrating experience

because nine times out of 10,

you're only seeing the people that you don't want.

- [Casting Director] Bye. - [Claire] Sure.

- So, that's like I'd seen so many people

and then you showed up and it was like,

okay, well this is over with.

And it was like, congrats, moving on, so.

Is your voice all right, screaming?

- Yeah, it's holding up.

- Do you get embarrassed, yelling?

- Sure, yeah.

- I can't raise my voice.

- Really?

- It feels phony.

- In real life?

- Yeah.

When I yell it just, it raises,

it just sounds like I'm joking.

I don't have a good yell voice.

- I understand that too.

What do you do when you get mad?

Oh, you get quiet, that's really scary.

- Yeah, that's true.

- That's way scarier.

- Serial killer.

But that's because I didn't grow up

in a family where people yell at each other.

That's the difference.

- I did.

- But I do get quiet, yeah.

- Quiet's very creepy.

- Mm-hm, that's right.

- Way to go.

- Thank you, appreciate it.

"You're great in the movie,"

"Well, you're creepy."

(Claire laughs)

- [Casting Director] Hi, come on in.

This is Sam Marks.

- [Ben] Hey, Ben, good to meet you.

- Hey Ben.

- This is Claire.

- [Claire] Hi.

- Claire, Sam.

- Claire, she's in the cast, she's the daughter.

And basically, it's just kind of like what

we did the other day, but Ben's gonna take you through

a couple of different...

- Yeah, I mean we're just gonna do

what you planned on coming in doing,

I'm just gonna kind of shoot some stuff so I have it.

I don't wanna give you any thoughts on this first one,

just do whatever you were planning,

and then maybe we'll tweak it,

try some different things.

Just give me two seconds to get focused here.

- You've had years and years to just tell me

that this might happen to me and you never said anything.

You're a coward.

You're such a coward--

- Don't say that.

- I hate you so much right now.

- Don't say that.

- I hate you.

(somber strings music)

- Sorin says, "You've got to have theater,"

and Traplyov says, "New forms are what we need.

"New forms are what we need, and if there aren't any,

"then we're better off with nothing."

That's how I feel.

I mean, like, it feels silly to agree with that,

but it's really, truthfully, pretty close to

how I feel these days.

- Yeah, well, you're frustrated with...

- With everything.

- With everything.

- But especially with movies.

- Yeah, with the movies that are--

- But even especially with the movies that I'm making.

- Aww.

- Yes, for real, this, I mean,

when I read this I am.

When I think about what we just made,

and I think about the ideas that we had

when we went into it versus now

what it is as a final product--

- Yeah, but that's always the frustration

with making every, anything, you know?

What you see in your head is not,

you're using materials, you know?

The recreation of what you see in your head

is never going to be as accurate

or as pleasing to you as you'd like it to be.

That's with everything.

You didn't do a bad job.

I think we got some of what we were

talking about in it, right?

(boyfriend sighs)

It's not a new form.

- No.

- So what is?

- I don't know, that's the problem.

If I could think of it, I'd be doing it, right?

But is ultimately, is that how everybody feels?

- Yeah, I mean, no--

- No, not really. - [Claire] Probably not.

- Some people just wanna make entertainment, right?

And then they do that.

- I think there's something to be said for that also.

- Yeah?

Werewolf movies?

- Yeah, werewolf movies.

- People go and they watch it and they get scared

and then they're happy and then they leave, right?

- Yeah.

I dunno, at least it makes you feel something.

(water running)

- [Boyfriend] Turn a little more profile, yep.

- So we're good?

- [Boyfriend] Yep.

All right, still rolling.

Grab the soap, the liquid stuff.

Okay, grab the liquid soap stuff again,

and just do the same thing that you did one more time.

Okay, now just put both hands on the wall in front of you,

and just kind of stand under the water.

(somber string music)

(both laugh)

- You should go to LA though.

At some point you should go,

just it's a good experience to have.

It's a good, I think everyone should experience

the pure business side of art because

I think that you really get good

when you lose hope in purity.

It's true.

I'm changing because I feel fat.

- I already have, though.

- No you haven't, you're still making small stuff

that's, like, interesting and might be, you know,

might get, you know, recognition from Ben,

you still look cool, you still have a leather jacket

and shit like that.

(both laugh)

You haven't lost hope.

You do lose hope at some point,

but I think it's better for you,

like it's better for your soul

to not have hope.

- That's dramatic.

- No.

(Claire laughs)

- This is like, the full, as zoomed in as you can get

before it starts getting all pixelated, you know?

But, so that's what you're actually capturing,

this is by five, by ten.

- [Ben] This will also work for all the werewolf POV stuff.

- Yeah, the wolf cam.

- [Ben] Yeah.

Focus-wise, you kinda push it in now.

- [Assistant] Okay, well--

- [Ben] Because we're recording, does it not do it anymore?

- [Assistant] Right, because, yeah, you can't get--

- [Ben] I mean, she looks sharp, it's just

I got used to using that little feature.

- [Assistant] Right.

- Yeah.

I dunno, that seems good to me.

Is that oldtime-y enough?

- Yeah, definitely.

- Yeah, are we sure about that?

- [Costumer] Do you feel comfortable in it?

- Sure.

- Can you run around in it?

- You saw me jump.

- I know, I didn't see you run, though.

- (laughs) Yeah, I think I can move in it.

- Yeah, I can live with that.

Can you make doubles of that easily--

- Yeah, definitely.

- If we took off the stuff?

- [Costumer] Definitely, without the bows.

- [Ben] Or just, if you make a duplicate

and make the duplicate white.

Let me see the back one more time.

Done, that's it, done.

- [Costumer] Great, okay.

- And then he starts fending you off

and then you start to turn into the werewolf

and he's maybe trying to hit you with it

and you bite him on the neck

and then pffft, giant can of blood.

'Cause it's gonna be like,

blood shoots up and that's how we cut out,

maybe to the moon.

But I like the idea of him slapping you.

- [Claire] I like it too, that actually helps me a lot,

if the violence isn't sort of completely one-sided.

- Yeah.

- [Claire] Yeah.

Cool.

- Be more sexy, be more sexy.

- To the left.

- Yes, yeah, exactly.

Lean back more.

Not that far.

And then we'll just ADR all the moans later.

And you think that's awkward,

imagine when you're just in a room,

you're like (moans sarcastically) for an hour,

'cause I've had to do that before

and no one can look each other in the eye.

- Ah, that's sucks.

- Yeah, so none of this is gonna be,

look, I'd love to say, oh,

we're gonna bring this realism,

but it's all bullshit.

You know, I'd be lying, look,

I have all these things that I wanna accomplish

that I'm too embarrassed to talk about--

- I'm not really a werewolf, so.

- That's true, there's a lot of layers of lies

to this here picture that we're making.

But I mean, look, I have all my sort of

pretentious intentions that I want to accomplish in this

that I'm too embarrassed to talk out,

the same way you're embarrassed to talk about this,

there's a whole list of things that I just

won't even dare to speak out loud.

But I'm gonna make sure they're in the movie.

All we need you to do on the day

is you just show up, try to be cool,

sitting on a stranger, naked,

if you can handle that, I can handle

making sure you're seducing him properly.

- Okay.

- Deal?

- Deal.

- All right.

Blow it up.

- That's right.

- Yeah.

- "Um, I do want you to know that there's no nudity,

"but I really want you to be,

"I think you're really sexy,

"I think you're really a beautiful woman,

"and I'd really like to explore that side of you,

"because I think you play it down,

"and I think that I'd really like to explore

"the sexual side of you but,"

and I'm like, "Ooh, I'd like that, I'd really like,"

(laughs) you see what phone conversations we're having?

And I'm like, I remember at one point I'm on the phone,

and my mom had, like, gone to bed,

and I remember I was in the living room

and I looked back to see if my mom's door was closed,

and like, in retrospect I'm like,

I'm getting a business phone call,

like this is a phone call for a film,

and it's like, you know,

you know about sleazy male directors,

but like, having this kinda sexy, late night,

almost erotic phone call from a female director.

- I don't see why you're making me feel like such a jerk.

- I'm not trying to make you feel like a jerk,

I'm just saying--

- I don't know, you're starting something

and then you're sitting there and holding back.

You're just letting me dig my own grave.

(boyfriend chuckles)

It's really annoying.

- Well, I'm sorry, all I said was that

I liked your friend, I think she's really interesting

and I would like to work with her on something.

I didn't realize that was an invitation

to dig your own grave, I assumed your response would be,

"Oh cool, yeah, she's great."

- Yeah, but I mean, you're just ignoring the fact

that it's completely provocative, you're saying,

"Hey, guess what, I wanna cast

"your best friend Charlie who I just met three hours ago

"to play my girlfriend in my next movie.

"My next movie, which I care so much about.

"My next movie, which is such a huge part of my life,

"I think I'd just like to cast Charlie as my girlfriend.

"As you."

- She wouldn't be playing you.

- No, she'd be playing herself.

Your new girlfriend.

(boyfriend sighs)

I'm not saying that you shouldn't do it.

I'm also not saying that she wouldn't be great in it,

I think that she would, I'm just asking you

to acknowledge the fact that it would be weird for me.

- Okay, fully acknowledged.

- But you still wanna do it.

- Yeah, I do.

- Yeah.

- You don't want me to.

- If I say I don't want you to, I'm a jerk.

That's the position I'm left in.

You know the way you make movies.

- And you don't want her to play my girlfriend.

- It just makes me feel uncomfortable

that you'll be so close to her.

You'll be closer to her than I am

and you'll be closer to her than you are with me.

Is that not true?

Is that true or is that not true?

- Well, let's say that it is true.

It's also for a finite period of time, right?

- Presumably, but...

It's just surprising to me that it's worth it to you

after having met her for an hour or two today

that you would be willing to make me feel

so incredibly uncomfortable.

That it's so much gotta be her, all of a sudden,

in this movie, that you don't care

that you're making me feel uncomfortable.

(ominous string music)

What?

What are you not saying?

(somber string music)

- I would not pick up a camera ever again

for the rest of my life or ever even think about

a movie again if I found something else that made me happy,

because movies do not make me happy.

Making them doesn't make me happy,

watching them doesn't make me happy.

Mostly I'm just like overly critical

and I hate everything

and their success doesn't make me happy

and their failure doesn't make me happy.

The only reason why I'm still doing it

is 'cause I don't know what else to do right now,

and I'd rather do something than nothing.

- Yeah.

- I have no goals.

I don't care.

That's the biggest problem, I don't care.

I don't even want anything, anything that could happen,

any movie that I make, whatever possibly could happen to it,

like, I'm not interested in winning prizes,

I'm not interested in making money,

I'm not interested in good reviews.

Like there's no thing that the movies could get me.

They get me close to people.

That's all that's left.

You know?

Making movies allows me to get close to people

that I find interesting.

That's probably why I'm still doing it.

- (sighs) Yeah.

I don't know, I mean, yeah, I see it.

(somber string music)

- [Ben] What other ones do you like?

- Just not all this stuff, that's for sure.

- No, you wouldn't use a snubnose during that time period.

They just wouldn't...

About the only people that did during that time period

were crooks that would cut one off

just so they could hide it,

which is why they then became later,

they evolved into a commercial product.

Basically, somebody would say,

"This is what I need but it's not fitting in my pocket,"

then he gets a hacksaw and cuts it off.

Enough guys do that, the company goes,

"Well, maybe we oughta put out a short barrel version."

(all laugh)

(ominous strings music)

- Hey sweetie.

(gun hammer clicks)

(gun hammer clicks)

(gun hammer clicks)

He wants me to practice using the gun

'cause I look really uncomfortable with it,

so I have to get good.

I hate guns though.

(gun hammer clicks)

Then they gave me this silver bullet

to practice with, but it's not really silver,

they just spray-painted it.

'Cause the real ones haven't come in yet,

not 'cause they're cheap.

(gun cylinder clicks)

(gun hammer clicks)

Have you ever fired a gun?

Hey, have you ever fired a gun?

(ominous string music drowns out words)

(camera shutter clicks)

- [Photographer] Nice, that's real nice.

Claire, your rear arm, can you put that on the ceiling?

And lean forward a little bit?

Actually, sorry, take that foot off.

It almost worked.

Uh, would you guys touch, I mean you wouldn't.

(eerie cello music)

(costumer laughs)

(camera shutter clicking)

(Ben laughs)

- Sorry, can you stand right there?

Move.

Good.

Nice, nice.

(camera shutter clicking)

Perfect.

This could be a cover shot.

Eyeballs to me, Claire, nice.

Chin to me, just a little more.

Nice.

(movie camera whirring)

- All right, you guys feel like shooting?

Come in, kiss against the door, pull the chair out,

sit in the chair, go end up on the floor,

but that's separate.

- [Charlie] Uh-huh, great.

- All right, good.

(movie camera whirring)

(footsteps crunching on leaves)

- [Ben] I fucked it up, let's do it again.

And then come right towards me.

And then look right at the camera.

- [Charlie] Is it really dark, like...

- No, no it's good.

Maybe a little slack here.

(movie camera whirring)

(somber string music)

- Is this weird, super weird,

being in my parents' house?

- Um, yeah, it's a little weird.

- It's weird for me too, I haven't been here in forever.

- When was the last time you were back?

- Two years ago, no...

I don't know, last year maybe.

But only for like a day, Christmas, two days.

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day.

- I was home for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day this year.

(door creaking)

- VHS, classic.

Here, the case is better than the movie.

The case is what got it new investments.

- Did you make this yourself?

- [Ben] Yeah.

Mad Photoshop skills, mind you.

Already, killing me right now.

- Oh, I don't like watching myself.

- Do you not want to watch it?

- No, it's fine, it's good for me.

- All right, cut.

You look really good.

- That's not what I was thinking.

(both laugh)

- The weird thing is though, well, not weird but,

a lot of people that worked on it,

I'm talking so that you can't actually

pay attention in real life that it's not good.

(Claire laughs)

- I'm not listening to you.

- Yeah, but a lot of people that worked on this movie

will work on our movie, so.

- Really?

- Sound and music-wise, well actually, sound-wise.

(muffled roaring)

So there you have it.

- It's good.

- Ours will be better, I promise.

- Maybe.

- "Maybe," it will be, I can assure you.

I still have that mask though.

- Really?

- Yeah, it's huge, comes downs to like here.

Looks ridiculous.

- Did you make it or did you buy it?

- No, I bought it.

You know that place, Abracadabra?

It was there and it was all the way up on the top,

like there's this windy staircase and then

on the pole of the staircase was it,

and I was looking at all their werewolf masks,

and I was like, "What is that one?"

and the guy couldn't even get up to it.

I was like, "You gotta get up to it

"'cause I'm gonna buy it."

And he brought it down, it was $600

but the mouth was falling apart

and the paint was peeling off

so I just talked him into the fact that like,

"It's a piece of shit and no one's ever gonna buy it,

"so just let me buy it for $150 today,

"or I walk out of the store."

And the guy had a parrot on his shoulder,

and he eventually agreed.

And so I had this big bag and I was like, "Yes!"

And I went back to the dorms

and I was like, "Check it out!"

And everyone was like, "What the fuck, it's gigantic."

And I took it home on the train and like,

I don't know, it was a weird scene.

- How was that?

- [Voiceover] It was good, I mean,

I think I could do better, but.

- [Boyfriend] All right, another try?

You up for one more?

- Yeah, let's do one more.

- See how this is all falling apart?

That's all the glue I used.

It's like five hot glue guns to fix that.

- God.

(Ben roars) (Claire shrieks)

- Sorry, I had to.

(Claire laughs)

Here, this is trust in the director right here.

- [Claire] Yeah, I trust you.

- I believe it's gonna be good.

I believe we can do this.

- [Claire] It's not very heavy.

- Well, what do you think about it now?

(Claire giggles)

She laughs, yeah.

Little heavy head.

- [Claire] I'm driving blind.

- [Ben] It's a good look for you.

- [Claire] You think?

- Yeah, I think so.

(both laugh)

I'm missing my nose.

(both laugh)

I can't look it in the eye.

(both laugh)

All right, I can do this, hold on.

(somber string music)

- Um...

- (sighs) Here, put that on.

You got everything you need to go to sleep?

- [Claire] Go ahead, thank you.

- [Ben] All right, I'll see you in the morning.

- [Claire] Okay.

- Good night.

All right, so I'm gonna drop that stuff off

in the morning, we should have it back by Wednesday,

they should also have the makeup test footage

tomorrow as well, so I'll get both of those

and we can watch them on Wednesday and

other than that I don't have much else

that you don't already know.

- Yeah, cool.

- I'll email you if there's anything.

- Sounds good.

- Okay.

- Kay.

- And just, you know, as far as last night goes, uh,

the movie's gonna be really good

and nothing's gonna be affected by anything

as far as that's concerned, it's two separate issues

and I'm very compartmentalized about movie-making

so it's gonna be okay.

- Kay.

- Um, all right, that's all I got.

I'll see you Wednesday?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Bye.

Um.

Yeah, I've got bags in the back.

- Yup.

(car dinging)

- [Claire] Bye.

- See you later.

(somber string music)

(camera shutter clicking)

- [Charlie] Anything we should address when I come in?

- No.

I mean, not this time.

- Okay.

(Charlie mumbles)

- What's that?

Do you want me to cut them loose later?

Oh, you got a cat?

- He'll come over here in a sec.

- Over here?

All right.

(knock on door)

- I know you like these midnight movie things,

but what's, why do you feel like we need

these nostalgic kind of, or like,

what impulses you to do that?

- I'm sort of like a personal filmmaker

and I just make movies to just amuse myself

and ideas that I want to accomplish,

and I hope that my taste mixes with

what other people like so people see them.

I mean, this movie is my most, like,

I was young, I was trying to accomplish a certain thing,

this B-movie vibe and have it be like,

not campy, because I don't like that term,

but like, have it exist as something that we kind of know,

like a midnight movie, VHS vibe.

(students chattering)

- Why work in a genre like horror

and not get to the gore right away?

- I like all kinds of movies,

I really like horror movies a lot,

but I don't make horror movies for like,

just to see people mutilated, you know,

I'm not the kind of person that goes to the theater

and when someone's head gets cut off, cheers.

I've never been that person.

I'm someone who's always looking for

an interesting story that uses horror

as a metaphor, as some catalyst for

something interesting to happen.

And character-wise or emotionally.

And that, unfortunately, is not usually the case,

usually horror movies are really exploitative,

it's all about creatively people are killed,

and it becomes this sort of spectacle.

- Are we gonna satisfy that bloodlust

in Silver Bullets, are we gonna get like...

- I don't wanna spoil too much,

but I mean it is a werewolf movie,

so when it gets there, I mean there's definitely like...

(floor creaks)

(funky Caribbean techno music)

(thumping)

(Charlie gasps)

(gasping and moaning)

(squeaking)

(water running)

- I don't feel like we were ever particularly uneven.

I feel like we both kinda fucked each other up.

- I know, this is what bothers me about it,

is 'cause I feel like in general

I've been in control of all the relationships

in my life and that you were the person

that I was really evenly matched with.

I had a hard time dealing with that.

It was very difficult for me to have somebody

that I felt like was my equal,

or even better than me.

That was real difficult to deal with.

- Well, you did a pretty good job

making me feel like I was worse than you, so...

Is that your way of dealing with that?

- No, I think that's your way of dealing with that.

I don't accept responsibility for that.

- Sounds like you.

(gun firing)

- Are you gonna stay tonight?

- Mm-mm.

- No, you're leaving?

- Yeah.

- 'Cause you have to go work.

- Gotta be in New York tomorrow at like 9 AM.

- Is the work enough, do you think?

Is the work that we made together enough

to justify all this?

- I don't know what you mean.

- I mean, is the work enough?

Does it last for forever?

Is it enough to...

Is it the prize for this?

Or do we--

- I don't know what you mean.

- Does it speak for itself?

- Yeah.

- If it was all we had left after the,

after that, if we weren't friends again,

if we never talked to each other again,

was it worth it, for the movies we made?

Or do movies not matter?

- I think it matters.

- [Man In Plaid] All right man.

- [Man With Backpack] All right man.

- [Man In Plaid] Have a good trip.

- [Man With Backpack] You too.

I'll see you back in town.

- [Man In Plaid] All right.

(distant shouting)

Take care.

(car doors shutting)

- [Man With Backpack] Later.

(car engine starts)
