In this clip, filmmakers John Adams, Toby Poser, Lulu Adams and Zelda Adams discuss the inner workings of making movies as a family. They reveal all about idea spaghetti, what each member brought to the creative table, and the pitfalls of being the nice guy among evil doers.

An exclusive Shudder film, HELLBENDER is a coming of age film about a mother who tries to shield her daughter from knowing the true powers of her Hellbending blood ties. With a 98% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the Adams family proves what is possible with little else than ingenuity, passion, and a few spontaneous carcasses in their own backyard when they set out to make a film full of terrifying dread built to linger deep long after the end credits have rolled.
In this episode of Dark Bites, I sat down with filmmakers Toby Poser, John Adams, Zelda Adams and Lulu Adams and they laid it all out on the line to reveal what makes this film – and their unique family dynamics – work so bloody well.
