Kurtzman, Robert (To Live and Die)

Interview by: Johnny Butane Robert Kurtzman is best known to most horror fans as the “K” from KNB Effects, but as of late he’s becoming better known as a very busy director. He’s got his own effects house, Precinct 13, as well, and has to date directed Wishmaster, The Rage (review) and Buried Alive (on DVD October 23rd). Now he’s moved on to his first straight action movie, To Live and Die for MGM. I got the chance to chat with Robert at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal when The Rage played, so the chance to do a formal interview with the man was something I couldn’t resist. You know how these things work by now, so get clicking below and keep it here for more info on To Live and Die and Robert’s many other projects!
