Balancing Horror and Storytelling
Horror is often used to evoke fear, but with The Eye, I wanted to use it as a storytelling device. This project isn’t just about jump scares or shock value. It’s a journey into Dr. Apples' psyche, showcasing his weaknesses as much as his strengths. The horror in The Eye is subtle and psychological, designed to leave a lasting impact rather than an immediate fright. For storytellers, horror is an incredible way to explore complex emotions and human flaws—it’s not just about what you show, but what you reveal.
