A24's The Legend of Ochi Builds a Magical World with Classic Lenses, Matte Paintings, and Puppets

The 2025 Sundance Film Festival crowd was treated to an epic adventure with writer and director Isaiah Saxon's feature directorial debut, The Legend of Ochi. This A24 fantasy evokes the hues and practical effects of beloved '80s family films like Gremlins, Willow, and The Princess Bride and does so with painstaking effort on Saxon's part. In The Legend of Ochi, Yuri, played by Helena Zengel (News of the World), defies her eccentric father's (Willem Dafoe) commands when she discovers a wounded baby Ochi—a fabled creature at war with her small island village. Determined to return the young Ochi to its home, Yuri sets off on an adventure across a treacherous terrain. The movie also stars Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard and Dune: Prophecy's Emily Watson. Ahead of the movie's theatrical release, Saxon, Zengel, Wolfhard, and Watson stopped by Collider's media studio at the Rendezvous Cinema Center to speak with editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub. In addition to how each of them prepped themselves to film in the Romanian wilderness, Saxon shares the real-life magic behind the Ochi, their mystical, fictional village, and how to recapture the whimsical spirit of adventure films long gone. Watson also reveals when Dune: Prophecy Season 2 begins filming and Wolfhard teases exciting news for Stranger Things fans ahead of Season 5. #thelegendofochi #strangerthings #duneprophecy For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
