Interview: Ti West (Dead & Lonely, Cabin Fever II) Pt. 1

Last week I spoke with Ti West who created, wrote, and directed Dead & Lonely.

Dead & Lonely: “IFC Original five episode web series DEAD & LONELY, written, produced and directed by cult indie horror filmmaker Ti West (The Roost, Trigger Man, The House Of The Devil) premieres on IFC.com today at noon ET/PT.

The only problem is that one of them is a vampire.”

Each five-minute episode ends with a vampire-related cliffhanger until they reach their big finish. I will warn, though: If you watch that first episode while hoping to see the girl drop her towel, you’ll be disappointed. The whole thing is fit for broadcast TV.
