The Mad Men actress discusses director Leigh Whannell’s new horror film.
“Then she believes that her ex-boyfriend is terrorizing her and following her.
She basically keeps saying that this is happening and nobody believes her.”
Below, Moss talks more about the movie and about her love for horror films.
I’ve bee telling people it should have been calledThe Visible Woman.
One of the themes of the film is that your character is being gaslit, basically.
The film seems very of the moment in many ways.
Yeah, it is an analogy for gaslighting and abuse.
What attracted you to the project?
The script that Leigh wrote.
I mean, its always the script, honestly.
Its the only thing that really matters.
And yet, he also just tapped in to this analogy in this really interesting way.
You must have spent a lot of the shoot pretending to be scared and stressed out by literally nothing.
What was that like?
Well, that’s kind of my bread and butter.
I mean, thats every day for me.
Im constantly pretending things are happening that aren’t happening!
Even if there is another actor there its the same thing, youre just imagining things the entire time.
Youre imagining thingsarethere and youre imagining the crew and the cameras arent there.
And you’re a big fan of horror?
I’ve been a fan since I was eleven or twelve.
There are still moments fromThe Shiningthat I cant wrap my head around.
Obviously, you’ve got more recent ones likeHereditary.
When I was eleven or twelve the originalIt, you know,Poltergeist, the original.
Those are the ones that really got me.
