The movie stars Sophie Curtis – LeglessCorpse.com got a chance to sit down with the young actress:
LC: Being so young and being the star of a feature film did you feel any pressure going into production?
SC: Yeah I think anyone would. It was different. I have played supporting roles before, so I was just helping move along the story and help the main characters develop their identities. Where in this film the characters were doing that but it was my story. That was really different for me. I had very long hours and I think it being my first film, just the intensity involved and me being nervous kind of added to the things Beckett was feeling. I think that kind of helped me going to that psychological psychosis with everything she was feeling because I was feeling similar feelings being my first film.
LC: The film is more of a thriller with horror elements layered in. Are you a fan of horror films? READ MORE – Chad Armstrong LeglessCorpse.com
