SciFI have a few words from Wes Craven on The Waiting, which he’s apparently got Alexandre Aja to direct. The plot, as told by Craven, all sounds a little bit Amityville; a woman who has lost her child moves to an idyllic house in the country, only to encounter a ghost who may or may not be (it sounds like it almost certainly won’t be) her lost child. Hmm….
Still, I’m a big fan of Aja’s Haute Tension, and hopefully I’ll be similarly impressed with his Hills Have Eyes remake (which I’ll be seeing at the weekend, after rewatching Craven’s original this week). I’m intrigued to see what Aja can do with the haunted house concept, particularly as his previous two films have been so hardcore.
