HMSG Interview The Adams Family - "H6LLB6ND6R"

What an honor to interview the dynamic Adams Family - Toby Poser, Zelda Adams and John Adams - and discuss their new film HELLBENDER (2021) that's streaming now on Shudder!

We have been fans of the family ever since we watched and reviewed their Award-Winning film THE DEEPER YOU DIG (2019). We can honestly say they are some of our favorite filmmakers - they write, direct, film & edit all of their own work.

We hope you enjoy this conversation all about their filmmaking process!

His House - "Why don't you just leave?"

When real life atrocities collide with the supernatural horrors it can create incendiary results - such is the case with HIS HOUSE (2020) from writer/director Remi Weekes.

This one cuts to core - a refugee couple migrates to an English town after fleeing Sudan. But as we have learned time and time again - you may run, but you can't hide from yourself and who you truly are.
