Writer / Director MICHIEL BLANCHART Discusses His Action-Fueled "NIGHT CALL" (2024) With Macabre Daily (INTERVIEW)

 

Macabre Daily may be a site with an emphasis on horror, but we like to think of ourselves as genre fans first and foremost. Candidly, while many of us grew up with horror, we also grew up with adjacent interests in genres like Martial Arts films and over-the-top 80s actioners. While action films have always been a mainstay in the zeitgeist, the last 10 years have brought a wealth of new, and propulsive ideas to the genre that have made it more exciting and accessible. One film that carries on that tradition of non-stop, edge-of-your-seat thrills is “Night Call” from Writer/Director Michiel Blanchart arriving in theaters on Friday, January 17, 2025, through MAGNET Releasing.

Michiel was kind enough to spend some time talking to us about his film, and even explaining a few tricks on how they pulled off some truly awe-inspiring setpieces. We hope you enjoy this interview, and we will share our review of “Night Call” later this week!
