Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón revealed his interest in making a horror film during a masterclass at the Locarno Film Festival.
The Mexican filmmaker, recipient of a lifetime achievement award at Locarno, is known for diverse works ranging from “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” to “Roma.”
“I love horror movies,” Cuarón said, distinguishing his tastes from those of his friend and collaborator Guillermo del Toro. While del Toro leans towards fantasy and metaphysical horror, Cuarón prefers more grounded fare. He’s “flirting” with the genre, he explained, citing Roman Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby” and “The Tenant” as influences.
