'It's Alive' for Bijou Phillips
The 'Hostel Part II' star has started work on another horror film.
Mar 6 2007
'Bully' star Bijou Phillips is fast becoming the scream queen of choice for horror films shot in eastern Europe. Late last year I bumped into her on the Prague set of 'Hostel Part II', and this week she started work on 'It's Alive', a remake of Larry Cohen's 1973 horror classic that is currently shooting in Bulgaria.
Revolving around a monstrous homicidal vampire baby that embarks on a violent killing spree, 'It's Alive' co-stars James Murray and Raphael Coleman and is directed by Josef Rusnak, who had this rather overblown statement to say on the subject:
'Some character elements and situations have been updated to reflect certain changes in society, but the script still preys on the genre's ability to explode the foundation of today's bourgeoisie'. Keep it light Jo - it's just a killer baby flick!
