In the fall of 2011, a short horror film festival introduced
me to the work of Briony Kidd. Her 15 minute THE ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS
was a haunting, poetic tale of a lonely student finding solace in the echoing
energy of her new home’s previous occupant. It was the standout of said
fest, but aside from mutual admiration of PHENOMENA over Twitter, we haven’t
heard much from Kidd since. In honor of Women in Horror Month, Fango caught up
with the filmmaker as she remains toiling away in all manner of genre activity
down under, directing and programming The Stranger with my Face Horror Film
Festival and waiting to go on two new features she’s told FANGORIA about.
