‘The Tank’ Director And SFX Lead Interview

Almost a decade after his feature film debut Frozen Ground, director Scott Walker is back with a very different kind of movie. His new film The Tank is a lean, mean creature feature with a monster designed by Richard Taylor and his award-winning team at the legendary Weta Workshop. Walker weaves a creepy tale with just enough character-building to sell the film’s emotional stakes but with enough monster to keep horror fans thoroughly satisfied.

Read the full synopsis below:

Set in the 1970s, The Tank is a story about a young family who inherits a remote and long abandoned coastal property in Oregon and awakens beneath it a horde of ferocious and deadly creatures.

Dread Central spoke with Walker and Taylor about crafting their monster, the woman behind the monster suit, and more. Plus, there’s a special appearance from a slippery guest.
