What does director Sophia Takal think of New Year’s Eve?
“I actually hate New Year’s Eve,” says the filmmaker.
“Anything that reminds me that time is going by seizes me with anxiety.
I haven’t had anythingmurderoushappen but I definitely find it an unpleasant holiday.”
I think that can be insidious and damaging to people, especially young women."
Blum subsequently apologized for the comment and Takal insists her experience of working for Blumhouse was a positive one.
“I worked a lot with the television side of Blumhouse,” she says.
“There are some extraordinary people who work there and they were just so supportive.
So, it was a really positive experience for me.”
