It Lives Inside Interview: The True Story That Inspired the Film

In his debut feature, It Lives Inside, director and horror aficionado Bishal Dutta tells the story of Sam (Megan Suri), an Indian-American girl who rejects her heritage in an attempt to fit in with her peers. When a mythological demon known as a Pishach gets ahold of her former best friend Tamira (Mohana Krishnan), Sam must embrace her roots if she wants any hope of defeating it.
During an interview at San Diego Comic-Con with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Dutta talked about some of his favorite horror movies and greatest influences like Terminator, Jaws, The Shining, and more. He also revealed the true story that inspired the movie, discussed why he chose the Pishach as the film's demon and pinpointed a vital filmmaking lesson he learned via his actors.
