ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Could you set up the film a little bit?
Our fatal flaw is that we ignore the history that came before us.
How did you get the role?

I went in to audition probably one month before lockdown.
I just remember waiting in the waiting room and being quite intimidated.
I really didn’t think there was a world in which I would get this.
Then it was silent for four months, so I kind of went crazy.
I was on a rollercoaster of emotions during COVID and then found out that I did get the role.
Were you familiar with the originalTexas Chain Saw Massacrefilm?
I’m scared of essentially everything, so not a huge horror person.
I got scared watchingLegally Blondeas a kid; I am scared of everything.
I had seen the original before we shot this.
I watched it, and it was dark and I was alone, and that was a mistake.
It was just me and my dog and I was just covering my face with my blanket.
I think it’s iconic.
It set a tone that I haven’t seen in a lot of other movies.
It feels like an indie.
I think it’s so terrifying psychologically, and It is truly so horrifying.
What was the shoot like?
It was pretty crazy.
We were in Bulgaria for months.
It was hard and I think we all really bonded as we were isolated in this different country.
It was really emotionally grueling.
It was really hard, to be honest.
I’m grateful for everything I learned and the opportunity, of course.
A lot of blood, rain.
We’re freezing, we’re wet, we’re sticky, over and over.
You’re like, “What?”
I think we got something really cool out of it and I really hope horror fans are excited.
