You’re definitely juggling a lot of things because you want to care about the characters, but you also want to build suspense and atmosphere and a mood. The scripts made me laugh on the page, and I think it’s important to have that on any movie or TV show, so the horror really lands. I think it all blends together in a seamless way. The cast is so wonderful, as is the writing. I loved, in these scripts, how much time was given to setting up these characters. It’s hard to care that someone is in a nightmarish scenario if you don’t care about them in the first place. JACOB: I think the best horror needs great human elements at the center of it.
