Osgood Perkins, son of horror icon Anthony Perkins, shares his complex relationship with the horror genre in an interview discussing his film "The Monkey." Despite his lineage, Perkins doesn't identify as a horror movie fan, stating that he finds many popular films in the genre unappealing. He acknowledges a sense of obligation to pursue horror, connecting with his father's legacy, yet prefers to explore different cinematic avenues. As a cinephile, he has managed to carve out a unique niche in horror, balancing personal interests with audience expectations after his film "Longlegs" gained success.
"The way I have come to look at my trajectory, if anybody gives a fuck about my trajectory, it's born into horror, right? Born into a royal family of horror."
"I don't sit around and think about horror movies all the time... something like 'Terrifier,' for example, so successful, so well done, absolutely unappealing to me."
