Historically, horror genre cinema has been used as a form of commentary on current issues, politics, and society in general. Another example can be seen in the forthcoming film, Behemoth, written by Derrick Ligas and Peter Szewczyk.
In Szewczyk’s upcoming film, deeper psychological issues such as guilt, trauma, and desperation are explored. It is a supernatural thriller, but there is something different about Behemoth. The film’s impressive visual effects are its key selling point.
Behemoth is the directorial debut of veteran visual effects artist, Peter Szewczyk.
