The new horror movie The Cycle, out now on Shudder, is one of the best creature features in recent years, with a killer twist on classic genre lore that we won’t spoil here and unforgettably terrifying practical FX, and we talked to director and co-writer Jordan Downey recently about the origins of the project, and more.

In our video conversation last month, was also of course talked about Halloween and what it means to Downey.

In The Cycle, “When the body of a man missing for thirty-six years is discovered at the scene of a horrific crime, it’s up to his estranged daughter to unravel his dark past.”

Directed by Jordan Downey, from a script he co-wrote with , the film stars Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood, Daredevil) and Jeffrey Donovan (Burn Notice).
