- 0:20Speaker 2: of the films. For people who may not be familiar
- 0:22Speaker 2: with the franchise, what's the premise?
- 0:25Speaker 3: The first film is a classic home invasion film.
- 0:28Speaker 4: We've got three massed individuals trying to kill a couple
- 0:32Speaker 4: in their vacation home.
- 0:33Speaker 3: I guess you could say.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I love a home invasion, love a.
- 0:36Speaker 3: Little home invasion film.
- 0:38Speaker 4: And then it turn, it takes a turn in chapter three,
- 0:40Speaker 4: chapter two, because my character is left alone in the
- 0:43Speaker 4: woods and fighting to survive and running away from these
- 0:45Speaker 4: people on a foreign city. And then chapter three, she's
- 0:48Speaker 4: no longer trying to survive, She's trying to win. And
- 0:50Speaker 4: so you kind of get to watch the real time
- 0:54Speaker 4: evolution of the final girl in these films, which is
- 0:57Speaker 4: really fun.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Are you being chased by the same people or the
- 1:00Speaker 1: different people?
- 1:01Speaker 3: Same people are relentless.
- 1:03Speaker 1: They're persistent. You got to give them that.
- 1:05Speaker 4: Honestly, if you could take anything from the strangers, it's tenacity.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I should say, are you happy with how it wraps up?
- 1:13Speaker 4: I am. I think it's a it's a divisive ending,
- 1:15Speaker 4: but that's why we make films. I'm really I'm really
- 1:17Speaker 4: proud of it, and I think it's really strangely intimate ending,
- 1:20Speaker 4: which is not what you would expect from a horror film.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I love me a horror film.
- 1:24Speaker 2: So nice, and I heard you a bit of a
- 1:26Speaker 2: horror film enthusiast to yourself, right, I am.
- 1:29Speaker 3: I am.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Give me your give me your mount Rushmore of horror films.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Climax by gas Ranella.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Well that was quick off the time. Okay, it's my.
- 1:38Speaker 4: It's just my favorite. It's one of my favorite films
- 1:40Speaker 4: maybe ever. It's shot so beautifully. It's shot looks like
- 1:44Speaker 4: a shot in the water. It's a it's a French
- 1:45Speaker 4: film about a bunch of dancers and a rave taking
- 1:48Speaker 4: drinking this punch and taking these crazy drugs and.
- 1:51Speaker 3: It just becomes like this entire horrific drug trip. It's
- 1:54Speaker 3: really wow. I love claustrophobic heam making. I think it's
- 1:58Speaker 3: really special.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I think I've experienced that it.
- 2:04Speaker 2: As far as uh, this other movie that I know
- 2:07Speaker 2: you did a couple months back. It's very very different
- 2:09Speaker 2: rom com. Correct Maintenance Required. That's over on Amazon Prime
- 2:13Speaker 2: where we can still check it out. What's that one about?
- 2:15Speaker 3: Oh?
- 2:16Speaker 4: Maintenance Required is such a lovely little film. It's about
- 2:18Speaker 4: a mechanic, Charlie, who is running her dad's mechanic shop
- 2:22Speaker 4: and fighting to keep it open as a big behemoth
- 2:25Speaker 4: store across the street opens up to take all of
- 2:27Speaker 4: her business away, while simultaneously having an online relationship with
- 2:30Speaker 4: somebody and it ultimately being the person who's opening the
- 2:33Speaker 4: street across the shop across the street, and kind of
- 2:35Speaker 4: coming to terms with knowing and one of them not knowing,
- 2:38Speaker 4: and then having this rivalry in person and this kind
- 2:40Speaker 4: of really intimate online relationship.
- 2:42Speaker 3: And you know it's an homage. You've got mail.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Oh I love that film. Oh cool? And you've you've
- 2:47Speaker 1: produced a few of these? Correct?
- 2:49Speaker 3: Yes? Yeah, I produce The Strangers and Maintenance Required.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Actually, Oh nice? Nice? That's always fine. A lot of work.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's really cool time to be an
- 2:57Speaker 4: actor because we get a lot more autonomy than I think,
- 3:00Speaker 4: you know, historically we've been getting. So it's really nice
- 3:02Speaker 4: to be able to really have a little bit more
- 3:04Speaker 4: saying what you're doing.
- 3:05Speaker 2: And you have a couple of other flicks I know
- 3:06Speaker 2: you've announced recently, one called Pretty Babies.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Is that one the one about the teenage runaways? Yeah?
- 3:13Speaker 4: Yeah, we just finished shooting that and I just watched
- 3:14Speaker 4: the first cut. It's it's a really impactful dark film.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:18Speaker 2: And then another one called Chasing Red. Is that more
- 3:21Speaker 2: on the romantic sign?
- 3:23Speaker 3: Yes? I shoot that next week. I got to go
