Luella Miller
Film (Trailer and Excerpts) – 2005
I found the short story thumbing through one of my many horror anthologies. It is actually classified as a vampire tale, believe it or not. The supernatural elements of the text, to me, were only ever repressions of the sexual tensions in the story and that's what we went for. I wanted to make a melodrama — the thriller aspects were not so important to me. I wanted to make something intimate. Intimacy is the first casualty of commercial cinema.– Writer/director Dane Giraud, The Big Idea website, 12 September 2007
Damn her. We were never ready for her. Never ready for Luella Miller.– Lydia (Sara Wiseman) on Luella Miller (Sia Trokenheim)
