I don't think the script or the film itself, it never says, "Don't have babies." It just says that this woman should not have babies because she didn't want them. What I really, really liked about it and what made me want to meet Alexis, the writer/director, and really see if this was a project for me, was how the issue of having babies was tackled I think. We're in a sensory deprivation pod that looks like a giant egg. I was sent the script and I read the script and the first thing I thought was, "Wow, this is weird." But we are not pulling punches with our metaphorical references here. How did you join this project and what made you excited to be a part of this story?Īlexandra Amick: I was reached out to by one of the producers, Leal, I think he got my name from a friend of a friend of a friend, really. No Film School: Congratulations on Clock being out on Hulu in the US for everybody to watch. Video is no longer available: youtu.be/5h3WqGDpeYsĮditor’s Note: This interview has been edited for length and clarity. To create this restless energy in Clock, editor Alexandra Amick sat down over Zoom to talk with No Film School about working within the horror genre, women's body horror, the real-life elements of horror involved, and creating a sensory experience through the edit. Outside of the gaslighting and typical horrors that aging, married women face in their day-to-day lives, Clock is relentless in its torture of Ella’s and the viewer’s subjective realities. The curl-your-toes horror is a grotesque and psychological trip as the story follows Ella (Dianna Agron) trying an experimental treatment to “fix” her biological clock. Writer/director Alexis Jacknow’s female body horror Clock arrives at the perfect time. From classic slasher movies like M3GAN and Scream 6 to the more avant-garde horror films like Beau is Afraid and the gruesome body horror of Evil Dead Rise, I can confidently say that horror is alive.
This year has been a great year for horror movies. Clock editor Alexandra Amick sits down with No Film School to break down the horror of her latest project.
