Adam Gierasch has written screenplays for horror legends such as Dario Argento (MOTHER OF TEARS) and Tobe Hooper (TOOLBOX MURDERS). SCHISM is his fourth outing as a director and his most personal film to date: he's been wanting to combine his two favorite genres, horror and noir, for years. And even though he's a nice Jewish boy from upstate New York, he's haunted by questions of damnation and redemption. It's probably a guilt thing.
