LIVE 24-SEVEN “ 14 IT WAS SPOOKY SOMETIMES, ESPECIALLY AT


NIGHT WHEN YOU HEAR CREAKS IN THE FLOOR AND YOU THINK: ‘IS THAT SOMEONE WALKING AROUND OR IS THAT A GHOST?’


casual game we will play at midnight, but that there’s no need to worry about it. Little does she know that they have this very strange tradition of playing games and that this will take a very hard left turn during the course of the night. We find out there is a back story to the Le Domas dynasty and their gaming empire which plays into this tradition. You take a card with a game on it and the idea is that whatever card you pull, you play. I pull out Hide and Seek. I am laughing – thinking it’s funny – then it slowly unravels that this is not just Hide and Seek, it’s Hide or You Will be Killed! I think that’s when her childhood fight-or-flight mechanism kicks in.


She’s a tough bad-ass heroine isn’t she? Was that challenging to play? The action involved a lot of running and fighting, and I’m wearing a ripped wedding dress in minus 20 degrees – it’s snowing outside at two in the morning. But that wasn’t the hard part for me. The real challenge was that the cast and crew couldn’t stop laughing in very serious, scary scenes; we were in hysterics the whole time!


What drew you to the role of Grace? I love the genre of comedy horror films and it’s a great story. There are scares, but it’s also very funny. It’s great psychologically, because you are always second-guessing what everyone’s thinking. The theme is interesting too; for me, it’s about the question ‘How well do you really know someone and, under pressure, what choices do you make?’ Mark’s character (Grace’s husband Alex) has to decide between the love of his life and his loyalty to his family. There’s a rumor about a curse, which may or may not be true. Does he believe the curse is real? That will affect his choices.


She’s entering a strange family, whom she doesn’t know at all. What’s her motivation for jumping into marriage? It’s the fact that she lacked a family herself as a child, together with the abandonment and trauma she’s experienced. She literally had to fight to have a home and then get work in hospitality as a waitress. To get that far has taken a lot. So, when she meets her future husband, it’s very appealing that he has a close-knit family, because she really wants the stability she didn’t have in her own childhood.


What happens at the wedding? I am meeting my future family for the first time. The wedding is beautiful but a bit weird. But, I’m so excited that I’m going to be a part of this great new family that nothing else matters. They tell me there’s a


Explain more! Well, it was one of the best productions I’ve been in, where everyone got along so well and we just couldn’t keep a straight face because we kept cracking each other up. For example, one time it was 3 a.m. and we were shooting a tiny scene, which should have taken max 20 minutes. Mark and I were in a car and Mark (as Alex) was wearing a mask, which looks terrifying on screen, but close up – I was standing two centimeters from his face – I could see he was trying not to laugh. We were hysterical; we could not stop for at least half an hour. Then, as we did more takes, the anticipation made it worse. When I knew he was going to look at me, I would laugh. The crew needed a good laugh too, but after half an hour they said ‘Could you please just get your shit together. Let’s do it!’ That was the hardest scene to film, much harder than the action.


Andie MacDowell is great in the film as your eccentric mother- in-law, Becky Le Domas. What was it like working with her? She’s amazing. Becky is evil, but she’s delicately evil. She genuinely sees herself in Grace at the beginning of the film – that’s how she was when she was younger. It’s not until Grace pulls that wrong card that it switches for Becky; she changes her attitude towards Grace, and for various reasons that we find out, she knows what has to be done … she thinks I need to die and that she has to be the one to do it! There is a great scene with Mark and Andie in the film, where she’s genuinely loving, but we also see how manipulative she is. Andie is hysterically funny, and she’s so sweet and surprising. We really connected.


Was it frightening at all, filming a horror film in a big mansion? It was spooky sometimes, especially at night when you hear creaks in the floor and you think: ‘Is that someone walking around or is that a ghost?’ That’s especially true because of the nature of the film.
