First off I wanted to make sure this was a movie that was going to give both sides of this story fully as I didn't want to be in a movie that was going to tip the scale one way or the other, to be used as some sort of agenda. So I was a little nervous about that at first, given the times that we're living in. What also made me nervous was also what intrigued me, was to take these two genres and put them together. How do you take, or can you take, a courtroom drama that not only flashes back but flashes back to supernatural horror-like material Will the seriousness of a courtroom drama be sort of preposterous and snobby next to real horror stuff, and will the horrorscary stuff make the courtroom stuff look pretentious Can you take the suspense of a courtroom drama and a movie dealing with the supernatural and will they compliment each other Will they add to a certain kind of tension and mystery and confusion that actually sits for an audience, that doesn't divert, confuse, or compete with each other.
