” ‘I’d put that movie up against any of the horror movies I see on any of the big streamers,’ that was a comment that really stuck with me after the premiere,” said Wallen. “I knew we had something very special, but it’s like looking at your own kid and they’re the prettiest kid you ever saw…How do you know?!? That premiere told me all I needed to know, the way they lived with every scene and character told me what I felt was real, we have something very special here.”
