00:00:00.469 --> 00:00:03.219
(ethereal music)

2
00:00:04.770 --> 00:00:07.380
- The Blackening is a horror comedy.

3
00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:09.900
How much of a balance is
there between the two?

4
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:12.720
And if you had to pick
one genre to classify it,

5
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:14.010
which would it be?

6
00:00:14.010 --> 00:00:17.130
It is a beautiful choreography

7
00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:19.050
between the horror and
the comedy in this film.

8
00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:22.140
Like just when you think that
you're laughing your tail off,

9
00:00:22.140 --> 00:00:23.520
you're going to jump,
you're going to scream,

10
00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:25.470
there's going to be
something around the corner.

11
00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:30.470
I shot the film and when I see
it, I'm still like. (gasps)

12
00:00:30.540 --> 00:00:32.970
I literally am still
gasping when I see it,

13
00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:34.670
so that should tell you something.

14
00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:39.226
I would say that it is,

15
00:00:39.226 --> 00:00:41.940
(laughs)

16
00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:42.773
it's a comedy.

17
00:00:42.773 --> 00:00:44.160
I think that if I had to choose one,

18
00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:45.540
I would probably say comedy.

19
00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:48.000
I think you're going to laugh so much,

20
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.860
so much when you see this.

21
00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:53.940
As an actor, which scenes
are more fun for you to play,

22
00:00:53.940 --> 00:00:56.250
the humorous ones or the scary ones?

23
00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:57.183
Ooh.

24
00:00:58.440 --> 00:00:59.520
They both are fun.

25
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.270
My background is in theater,
so I used to do a lot of plays.

26
00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:07.650
I actually did a lot of drama,
and I really do like that.

27
00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:12.420
As a person, I love to
laugh just individually,

28
00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:15.420
so I would say that that I do have a lot

29
00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:17.880
of fun playing comedy and humorous rules.

30
00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:19.920
The Blackening's characters must rely

31
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.160
on their knowledge of
horror tropes to survive.

32
00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:24.570
How much of a horror fan

33
00:01:24.570 --> 00:01:26.460
were you before you started in the film?

34
00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:27.570
Not at all.

35
00:01:27.570 --> 00:01:28.403
Yay.

36
00:01:28.403 --> 00:01:31.440
As a matter of fact, it's really funny.

37
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:35.550
My team sent me a lot of
scary films in the past

38
00:01:35.550 --> 00:01:40.550
and I said no so much that when
they sent me The Blackening

39
00:01:40.770 --> 00:01:42.750
they were like, we know
you're going to say no,

40
00:01:42.750 --> 00:01:44.250
but really think about this one.

41
00:01:44.250 --> 00:01:45.780
I was like, no, actually
I really want to do it,

42
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:46.613
and they were shocked.

43
00:01:46.613 --> 00:01:49.920
Which trope do you think
is the most important to

44
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.190
ensure survival of a horror movie?

45
00:01:53.190 --> 00:01:54.060
Okay.

46
00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:55.380
Run.

47
00:01:55.380 --> 00:01:57.960
Don't go towards the problem.

48
00:01:57.960 --> 00:01:59.670
Run away from the problem.

49
00:01:59.670 --> 00:02:03.900
And if you fall, please
hurry up and get up, okay?

50
00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:06.570
I'm tired of, tired of
the whole falling in the,

51
00:02:06.570 --> 00:02:08.070
the struggling on the ground.

52
00:02:08.070 --> 00:02:09.690
Unless you broke something,

53
00:02:09.690 --> 00:02:12.723
get up and limp away as fast as you can.
