While most of us (thankfully) won’t have to experience this firsthand, the great thing about horror is that we can live these experiences vicariously through the characters in films, from the safety of our homes and/or a dark theater. Survival horror isn’t one of the more popular sub-genres these days, but filmmaker James Kondelik makes a strong case for why there aren’t enough of them in “Pitfall,” which is out now on VOD from Cineverse. James was kind enough to spend some time talking to Macabre Daily about how “Pitfall” came to be, the challenges with short shooting days compounded by location manager snafus, and the resilience it takes to make a damn film, and in this case, a damn good one! This was a really fun conversation, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it!
