Director Nadia Latif says adapting The Man in My Basement for the big screen came with its challenges, but working with author Walter Mosley made the process smooth overall.
"I think the biggest challenges with adapting the book were balancing the kind of stranger elements with the character-driven story," Latif tells GamesRadar+. "I like to think of the film as being half a character study and half a political polemic, and also a kind of thriller with horror elements, and sort of balancing that tonally, I think, is quite a difficult thing. And it's quite a big departure from the book, which in many ways is, a bit lighter. But also definitely finding the comedy in it."
