Appendage writer-director Anna Zlokovic broke down the making of her mental health horror movie and her personal connection to the story.

The Big Picture Existing as a woman in today’s world is no easy task. At best, it’s anxiety-inducing and a real headache, and at worst, it can be downright deadly. Sometimes, it can be both — a fact that writer-director Anna Zlokovic is keenly aware of.

The first version of the appendage, the little one, is kind of cute to me in a weird way and I was gonna ask you where I could get one, but then I realized I'm on Lexapro to prevent that exact thing from happening. ZLOKOVIC: She totally surprised me with that. We were auditioning for the voice, and I had done all the temp voice stuff for the rough cut, and I was like, “I just cannot hear this anymore,” like, “Let's just get someone else in here.” I was looking through the auditions, and then I was like, “Emily Hampshire? What is she doing in here?” Like, “What's going on?” And then I played it, and it was unbelievable, and it was really, really cool.

ZLOKOVIC: Yes, and it was a challenge. It's like, how do you turn this into a feature? And for me, it was always about having that understanding of anxiety and depression, of, it’s not just work that it's gonna affect, it's gonna affect your relationships, your friendships and, you know, your core childhood traumas eventually get into that with the parent stuff. So that was always kind of the guiding light in terms of how to expand it.

ZLOKOVIC: Yeah, I think it's like the movie itself where it is just gonna be a thing for a while in the movies that I want to explore. Whether it's anxiety or depression or other mental health stuff, I always am just like, “Oh yes, I want to talk about this,” and I think there's still a bit of a void with that in films. Like, there's grief, there's all this other trauma-based stuff, but I'm really curious about just exploring mental health in horror.
