I doubt this mess would exist if the maker hadn’t paid for it himself, still, he only stood to lose his own money (and did). Often when you see that a movie was produced, written and directed by the same person (Drew Goddard - with the family as associates) you would be right to feel uneasy – there have been the odd times when this can work well, but that’s all too often rare. All the ingredients of today’s consumer moviemaking are there IE add a pinch of Cohen Bros, large dollops of Tarantino, and Scorsese, stir and watch the money roll in – but guess what, it didn’t happen.
