[Interview] ‘Push’ Directors Talk Horror Influences and Halloween

The new movie Push premieres on Shudder this week, and we talked to the film’s writers and directors Justin Powell and David Charbonier recently about their passion for the horror genre, old school scares, and more.

In a our video conversation earlier this month, the filmmakers discussed their excellent latest feature following The Boy Behind the Door and The Djinn, and of course we also talked about what Halloween means to each of them.

In the film, haunted by the memory of her late fiancé, Natalie Flores (Alicia Sanz) finds herself eight months pregnant and in desperate need of a new start. Determined to regain her sense of self, she moves to America and uses her real estate license to take on a challenging listing. However, she soon discovers her new beginning may be a deadly end when she catches the eye of a sadistic killer at her open house. After becoming stranded at the property, Natalie falls into premature labor, starting a physiological ticking clock as she must find a way to escape before she gives birth.

Written and directed by David Charbonier and Justin Powell, the cast is lead by Alicia Sanz (El Cid) and Raúl Castillo (Smile 2).

Push premieres on Shudder this Friday, July 11.
