00:01 Most of my life has been about trying

00:04 to rationalize how these kind of magical things

00:07 could exist in today's world.

00:09 You can feel that in the movies, this sense of, like,

00:13 they could exist.

00:14 And that can be a very uncomfortable feeling.

00:17 It's so deep and rich and rings so true

00:20 because it's based on Irish folklore.

00:22 So it wasn't something that we made up.

00:24 Many, many, many, many generations

00:25 have been talking about these stories.

00:27 And you can feel the depth of it.

00:28 And I really wanted to play with fantasy and horror,

00:31 this idea of figuring out what these creatures are.

00:36 There's something out there!

00:37 We've taken a creature from folklore

00:39 and just made it the horrific entity of the story.

00:43 They were once something to behold and be in awe of.

00:46 But now they're absolutely frightening.

00:49 These are creatures that no one has seen.

00:51 And they don't really even know what they look like

00:53 or what they're capable of.

00:54 And there's sort of a lot of unanswered questions.

00:56 There's a fear and a danger that's palpable.

00:59 These old stories are so ingrained in us.

01:01 I'm sure there's a reason why they've

01:03 survived all these centuries.

01:04 There might be some little grain of truth that's kept it alive.

01:06 Like, oh my god, he might be real.

01:09 Oh, my god.

01:11 I see you, Mina.
