made his name directing nimbly paced throwbacks to horror films of old, from his haunted house breakthrough “The House of the Devil” to his found footage film “The Sacrament.” But after directing six horror films in a row, with very few breaks in between, he decided to take some time off to make sure he didn’t start repeating himself.

Did you have any specific films you found inspiration in when you were developing “X?” The most obvious comparison is the original “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” but were there any others? A lot of horror movies that I’ve seen have, to be frank, really unlikable casts, who you wouldn’t necessarily mind seeing murdered. “X” though, has a really charming group of characters who the audience do grow to care a lot about. How’d you develop that chemistry?

I wrote it into the script. I had no backup plan. So we’re very fortunate to get the song, because the movie is what it is. Not everyone says you can use your song in your movie.
