Director Ariane Louis-Seize Talks About Her New Film “Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person!”

Drafthouse Films’ latest release is a coming-of-age teen film. With vampires, of course. “Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person” is a dark comedy about Sasha (Sara Montpetit), a vampire who can’t kill, and Paul (Félix-Antoine Bérnard), the suicidal teen she bonds with. Québécois Director Ariane Louis-Seize (along with co-writer Christine Doyon) has crafted a debut feature with heart and blood. Even though it’s not her first language, Louis-Seize was gracious enough to speak to us in English. She talked briefly with us about “graduating” from making short films, writing from various points-of-view, and eating clowns.

Sánchez is best known for being a co-director of “The Blair Witch Project,” but he’s been directing horror for over 2 decades, including a segment in this year’s horror anthology “Satanic Hispanics.” Dipping his toe into the horror comedy subgenre, Sánchez’s “El Vampiro” is a slapstick comedy about a vampire who has to make it home before Daylight Savings.

Five by Five: “Satanic Hispanics" May Just Usher In A New Golden Age For Horror Anthologies

Anthology horror films are curious beasts. They’re known for having segments ranging in quality from classic to abysmal. Even fans of “Creepshow” (arguably the best anthology horror film of all time, if not in the top 5), have segments they rank last without thinking twice. This doesn’t mean they’re bad, or even that they lessen the film as a whole. Weak entries are priced into all anthology films, and they don’t stop them from being classics. There aren’t many exceptions to this rule, but “Satanic Hispanics” doesn’t contain a single bad segment.
