Transcript

I'm obsessed with practical effects. You can't compete with it. There's something you can't replace about the tactile worst of nature of it. It's tangible. Yeah. I can feel it and I can see it. No, I mean, it it helps me perform. It's just it's not like worse. Kinda curious, what that was like getting to really do, like, a true good fashioned Universal horror. When I read it, I and this is what I actually really loved about this, film. It felt very old school, like an old school horror film and monster movie, but it was told in a a modern and new way. Is there anything you're in particularly proud of, like the things that you, like, learned from the movement coach? Testing myself and even testing my body to see what I can do and and trying to manipulate it. For anyone that maybe isn't a horror rank, but is a fan of movies Yeah. Is there anything that you would like to share with them? You can come to the theater for, like, all those horror elements that are rollercoaster esque. But to me and as an actor, like, what I'm always drawn to is, like, what the story is. I think you, you know, you come for the fun, but hopefully you're left still thinking about it.
