Following up our previous coverage of the novella "1922" from Stephen King's gruesome collection FULL DARK NO STARS, David scored some face time with Australian writer/director Zak Hilditch to talk about his incredibly faithful film adaptation of the story.  

Zak initially rose through the ranks with his 2013 apocalyptic thriller THESE FINAL HOURS, which ultimately led to him teaming up with Netflix in 2017 to adapt "1922". David mines the depths of Zak's experiences working with Thomas Jane, the pressure of knowing that King would be reading his script, what it's like working with hundreds of rats, and so much more.
