Andrew van den Houten Selects
Andrew van den Houten – Director of Offspring, producer of Darlin'.
“As a fan of the genre I am excited that I can have The Woman and Offspring finally reach more audiences. It’s been fun producing and directing horror films all these years and I cannot wait for people to see my latest version of Offspring in 4k HDR. Horror is such a great world to explore all the dark and twisted ideas buried in our minds. I feel Offspring and The Woman definitely succeed at this.
Offspring is a special movie to me as I worked very closely with Horror Author and legend Jack Ketchum to bring this film to life. As a director it was my second feature film following my debut movie HEADSPACE. I never expected Offspring to lead to future collaborations with Lucky McKee and Pollyanna McIntosh but thank God it did…The Woman and Darlin’ both unique and special in their own way complement Offspring in completely fresh and different ways.
I hope you enjoy my selections from the Arrow Player and can’t wait to Direct another horror film for the fans soon! It’s been an honor being part of this community.”
