“If 2001 A Space Odyssey is considered the LSD companion film, then Pop Skull is the film to watch while you’re robotripping.”

Anyone who’s been keeping tabs on the indie horror scene has no doubt heard the name Adam Wingard being bandied about by now. Not only has Wingard’s innovative experimental horror film Pop Skull managed to generate quite a buzz on the festival circuit over the course of the last year, but his freshman feature Home Sick - an ambitious little shocker featuring appearance by genre veterans Bill Moseley and Tom Towles - is set to be released on DVD from Synapse Films later this month as well. For horror fans who have grown tired of the typical slasher film formula and constant onslaught of remakes, Wingard may be just the director we’ve been waiting for to give our beloved genre a much-needed goose. As evidenced by his quote singling out Pop Skull as “the film to watch while you’re robotripping” it’s obvious that Wingard isn’t the sort to play it safe, and his interview with Colin Armstrong over at Twitch Film details how he’s currently getting primed for bigger and better things.
