Actress stars in director Ti West’s out-this-week shocker X.
“The House of the Devilis one of my favorites.
I remember before I officially booked the job having a conversation with him.
I had never talked to a director so dedicated and passionate and prepared about their project.”
In fact, Ortega is no stranger to the terror tale genre.
The actress talks about her life in horror below.
I had to have been, like, 10 or 11.
It was my first horror set.
At that time in my career, though, I was just happy to be there.
I got to hold an Annabelle-looking doll.
Little did I know that they would do a prequel next!

“That was so much fun.
McG [the film’s director] is such a delight to work with.
He just knew how to have a good time.
The cast was really really sweet.
I made some lifelong friends from that job.”
I still talk to all of them every week.
We’re in constant communication.
I’ve never felt so loved and supported during a project.
I feel very lucky."

“So cool.
I was like, “No way!”
But, yeah, I got to meet everybody.
They rent out this farmhouse to shoot an adult film for the weekend.
[The script was] the most outrageous thing I’ve ever read.
But [he is] one of the nicest people.
Also, I’d never seen him act before, so I was pleasantly surprised.
He plays a real badass character.”
