The description simply reads: A woman stalked by depression makes some extreme decisions.
Disposition features an array of completely-practical effects designed by Sheila Mia Seifi (STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, CAPTAIN AMERICA) in a return to psychological horror films from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Eric Thirteen explains: “We want to take the extreme delights of today’s genre tropes and twist them back towards horror’s psychological past. The crowd-pleasing special effects in today’s horror comedies can also be powerful in drama and issues-driven movies. I love brutal, bloody cinema and I wanted to use it to talk about the things that haunt me personally.”
Cinematographer Will Barratt (HATCHET, DIGGING UP THE MARROW) was instrumental in portraying the weight of depression through light and visuals. An original score by Devin Johnson (LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT) uses a solo cello performance to voice the increasingly desperate thoughts of the central character. The film was also produced by Allison McGillicuddy, Buz Wallick and Lexi Love.
Disposition is the first film from Eric Thirteen and Sheila Mia Seifi’s independent studio Nightloop, where they’re currently developing several feature films.
