It was in 1995, and Landon was a mandate to read the text of the horror of specifications from an unknown writer at a time when Kevin Williamson. It took it only a few pages of reading before he knows that he had to persuade his supervisor. He became the director of “Scream 7” a kind of Hollywood Circle Career, to the extent that the code name for the movie was “Full Circle”. Unfortunately, in the wake of the SPYGLASS Media Group decision to launch Melissa Parrera from “Scream 7” after she expressed her support for Palestine via the Internet (The official statement of the company Was her leaflets “crossing the line to anti -Semitism” – their words, not our words), and Landon found himself targeted by angry fans who believed that he had something related to the decision as a director, to a large extent to threats against the lives of his children.

The moment of its full circle will not be fulfilled, as He voluntarily came out of the project. Landon was lucky enough to meet Wes Cravin and visit the original “screaming” group, which made walking away from “Scream 7” more difficult. Fortunately, the project opened it to direct Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roche “Drop” (DROP) (DROP) (DROP) (DROP)Check our review here(When reading it, Landon realized that he could still honor the legend of terror in a different way.

“Drop” is for Crees Landon what “Red Eye” was for Wes Craven.

“The Red Ain” is, for the sake of my money, Wes Craven masterpiece that is estimated. The Rachel Mcadams and Cillian Murphy, the film is a perfect high -density film located on a red eye trip where the hotel manager discovers that the man sitting next to her is a killer working with a partner to kill her father if you do not use hotel contacts to help him neglect the deputy deputy deputy of the United States. It is an incredibly intimate horror story, and it is a story that gives Mcadams and Murphy the space to display acting slides. It is an exit from The Slashers Craven was mostly known as “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and “Scream”, while it differs from another horror such as “Persons under the stairs” and “the last house on the left”.

There is a maturity on the adult nail shell that is more than a race around the clock more than the person who runs for his life from a boat killer, who does not always think when someone hears the phrase “horror movie”. But this is exactly what the “red eye” was, and he had the same tone that Christopher Landon wanted to bring to “Drop”. As he explained, “It was just a strange thing, as I was like,” no, I could not make this other thing, but I still have to tell Wes that I love him in a different way, and that was really meaningful and strong for me. “There is a clear love for Craven, Alfred Hitchcock and Brian De Palma, which is included in the DROP DNA, but with approximately the film in one location for a sprawling restaurant (designed and created specifically for the film), the clear to“ Red Eye ”is not applicable.

There is a quotation often attributed to Pablo Picasso (then in the middle of episode 5 of “Studio”, enough) that says “a copy of good artists and great artists”, and this means that good artists are able to imitate or copy identical, but it is the great artist’s mark that can steal it from the best and transform it to some extent. This is why a movie like “Star Wars” works well despite being a mixture of Akira Korosawa and “Hero Hero With A Thousand Faces”. That is why “PET Sounds” for Beach Boys is one of the greatest albums in all times, because Bian Wilson saw what the Beatles does with “Rubber Soul” and then can start creating a masterpiece. This method of thinking is clear in all the works of Christopher Landon, and his films are better for that.

This means, “drop” the feeling as if he was a spiritual brother of “Al -Ain Al -Hamra” is not out of Landon, but it is another example of the reason being a good artist, he is great.

“Drop” currently plays in theaters everywhere.
