In SOUND OF MY VOICE, director/co-writer Zal Batmanglij and co-writer/star Brit Marling have crafted something special. Haunting, provoking and ultimately the type of film that implores its audience to just give themselves over, the tense and eerie story of an L.A. cult is low-key Science fiction one is behooved to seek out. Continuing our interviews (see our talk with lead Christopher Denham here), Fango sat down with both Batmanglij and Marling (presented back-to-back below), and spoke the many layers of the film, seeking transcendence and much more.

Oscar-winning actress Cloris Leachman’s long career has taken her through a wide variety of parts, even within the horror/supernatural genre, from the sublime (YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN) to the ridiculous (LAKE PLACID 2).

FANGORIA sat down with those behind the Zal Batmanglij-directed cult story, and in this first talk with lead actor Christopher Denham, we explore the different layers of thought it evokes in its tight, and beautifully constructed running time.

Mary Harron’s THE MOTH DIARIES (currently available on demand and opening in select theaters this Friday, April 20 from IFC Films) has been described as a vampire movie, but that’s not quite right. It’s just as much a modern Gothic mystery, and at its center is a beautiful enigma named Ernessa, played by Lily Cole, who explored her character in an exclusive Fango interview.

Out today is Joseph Kahn’s manic teen horror/comedy, DETENTION. A hyperkinetic blend of tone, genre and idea, it sees young actress Shanley Caswell anchor us through it all as hapless, hilarious and resilient heroine Riley Jones. Caswell spoke with Fango about the meditation on current teen/pop culture and her current stint shooting the paranormal true story THE WARREN FILES for INSIDIOUS’ James Wan…

The prison break-in subgenre goes into orbit in LOCKOUT, the latest production from one-man action factory Luc Besson. For this film, the feature directorial debut of Irish filmmakers James Mather and Stephen St. Leger (who also scripted with Besson), a pair of leads were chosen with plenty of experience in screen survival: Australian actor Guy Pearce and LOST star Maggie Grace, who spoke together to Fango about their LOCKOUT roles.
