ABOUT THE FILM

SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL

Three characters lose their senses of sight, hearing and speech. After waking up in an abandoned mall from the 90s, they realize they are not alone. Follow the Leader is a genre pushing horror/thriller that jumps in and out of the perspective of these three characters. As they’re being hunted, they must learn how to survive, how to trust each other and if they even should trust each other.

Throughout the duration of the film the viewer will be placed into the perspective of each character, being deprived of a particular sense. We as filmmakers are trying to strip back the voyeuristic nature of the horror film and place the audience behind the eyes of the characters, only entering into these first-person views periodically throughout the duration of the film in order to better relate to their situation.

We process thousands of dead mall photos for reference, but something about these captivated us. The slow death of brick & mortar capitalism. The whimpering neon. Water fountains gurgling somewhere in the distance. The fading of memory. That forl
We wanted to share some pictures from our latest location scout, at the mall in Hutchinson, Kansas. When we were kids, we would stop at this mall on vacations and trips. How monolithic and gleaming it seemed to us back then. A melancholic sense of no
