Producer Roy Lee discusses the long development process for the horror film 'Psycho Killer.' He explains the delicate balance of creating gory, envelope-pushing scenes while still appealing to a mainstream audience, and how the film differs from extreme horror like 'Terrifier.'

00:00It had been in development for many years with, I guess, several different directors.
00:04I came on it just in this last pass of trying to put it together with Gavin.
00:10But before, I don't know what was changed.
00:14I just know what I liked about this version of the script.
00:17And yeah, I guess I think maybe some of the gorier things we're taking out,
00:24because even killing of the priests and drinking his blood is pretty gory.
00:28There were probably a few more scenes like that that were pushing the envelope,
00:32which in order to get like a mainstream audience, you can't really go there.
00:37Because like the Terrifier audience is definitely something very different from a Psycho Killer audience.
00:41So just trying to strike the balance of pushing it closer to that,
00:45but not crossing the line that make it like a Terrifier movie.
