Quentin Tarantino, who has become perhaps one of the most well-known directors in the history of cinema with the films he directed and took part in from time to time, has announced the film that has managed to scare him so far. It is possible to guess that Tarantino, who directed films with bloody and violent scenes such as Inglourious Basterds, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, Hate Eight, is not easily frightened. The film, which managed to scare the famous director, had a great psychological effect on him.
He was a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote the novel adaptation of ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’. Stating that he has great admiration for horror movies, Tarantino also stated that he is generally not afraid of movies. But the famous director explained that he was scared when he watched John Carpenter’s classic horror movie The Thing.
“I experienced the psychology of the characters. ”
Expressing his admiration for John Carpenter’s movie ‘The Thing’ by saying, “I think it is one of the best horror movies, although it is not one of the best movies ever,” Tarantino conveyed his fear of the movie with these words: “Well, it scared me. . This got me to scrutinize the movie to understand why I was scared, and I think the reason is this: the guys in the movie are trapped in the polar research center, and The Thing is going to swallow them all. None of them knows whether this Thing is the person they have known from eternity. The film carries this paranoia to such a concrete and realistic dimension that after a while, the paranoia breaks the fourth wall and spreads to the audience. I was starting to feel just like the characters. ”
Tarantino states that while writing Reservoir Dogs, he tried to capture this element that he felt in Thing. The famous director, who said that he aims to create paranoia by keeping the ‘guys’ in the movie closed in a warehouse and creating an environment where no one can trust anyone, stated that he wants to convey this feeling to the audience, just like in the movie Şey.
