All the Creatures Were Stirring was written and directed by the husband and wife team of David Ian McKendry and Rebekah McKendry. Previously, they made a film called Psycho Granny (aka Granny’s Home). Rebekah formerly worked for Fangoria and is now the Editor-in-Chief for Blumhouse Productions, in addition to teaching film at USC. Her husband, David, is a screenwriter. I’m sure they are a fun couple to talk to, and that they had fun making this film. Maybe they got a chance to work with friends and play with the fake blood in between takes (for best results, always play with the props, it’s fun!) I want to be gentle on a film that has such a modest budget and certainly means no harm, but it’s a blah and broken mess.
