John Francis Conway is the director behind the short film Blockhead (2010), which is about two brothers one of whom lures attractive single women to the basement of their book store for the terminally and mentally ill brother to kill. We had the chance to ask John a few questions about this film. Here is what he had to say.
So who is John Francis Conway and what is he all about?
I am a video editor that loves to make horror films. I grew up in Florida, where I would shoot comedy skits, and experimental videos with my hi-8 tape recorder, with the help of my friends and family. I had an Uncle who had a great stash of Euro horror flicks. I grew up watching Argento, Bava, and Fulci films, just to name a few. As a filmmaker I want to have a hand in getting people back into the splatter flicks.
