Podcast Episode: Brad McHargue on ‘The Interior’

Brad McHargue joins the podcast to discuss ‘The Interior,’ a micro-budget horror film that combines A24 and ‘Office Space.’

The Interior

Low Sky Productions

This week on Certified Forgotten the Matts are joined by filmmaker Brad McHargue of Denver’s Suburban Ghost. McHargue first appeared on the podcast in 2019 for a discussion around the atmospheric haunting film, The Last Will & Testament of Rosalind Leigh. For his second appearance, McHargue brings another film that is heavy on tone in Trevor Juras’s The Interior.

Here’s the plot synopsis, courtesy of The Interior’s website:

After receiving a distressing medical diagnosis, a listless young man flees the crushing tedium of Toronto city life, trading it all for untamed wilderness and solitude. He retreats further and further into the woods only to gradually find himself the target of increasingly inexplicable and disturbing manifestations, which point to a frightening truth: he is not alone. Some one or some thing is pursuing him into The Interior.

What follows is a wide-ranging conversation about independent filmmaking, the important of sound in horror films, and why microbudget horror films will always get a fair shake from the Certified Forgotten crew. For those looking to skip ahead to specific points in the conversation, here’s a quick breakdown of the episode, including our conversations about Giving Up the Ghost, McHargue’s award-winning short feature with partner Becky Sayers.
