Background:
Previously, Jeremiah Kipp told Rue Morgue: “I was always inspired by the personal filmmaking of writer/directors like Larry Fessenden. With Slapface, I wanted to make a movie about where I grew up, and part of my childhood always involved a sense of wonder about monsters.
My grandfather raised me, and he grew up in a brutal environment where Frankenstein and Dracula were a source of comfort for him. He’d often imagine the monster swooping in and killing his enemies, but the old curse says the one who seeks revenge had better dig two graves. I took the monster of his imagination and made the creature literal, and deadly, in Slapface.”
