ComingSoon's Neil Bolt spoke to Scream Therapy director Cassie Keet about her desert horror comedy and how the pandemic shaped its story.
sees a group of female friends head to the desert to shout their problems into the isolated wilds of Wonder Valley, California. But they end up falling foul of an incel cult that needs a sacrifice or two pretty soon. What follows is a madcap battle for survival and understanding. It goes to some interesting places along the way, including a very twisty-turny finale.
So, I had to find empathy for those characters. And When I did, the story made so much more sense. I feel like I’m talking a lot!sure to include empathy for every major character in the story to some degree. It would have been understandable to paint the incels as straight-up The scream therapy brings the film to the desert, and I find It’s such a fascinating setting, given the isolation and pocket communities that exist within it. But what for you made it ideal as a setting?Well, it was ideal because it was available. I know the owner of the bar we filmed at, and it’s no exaggeration to say it’s the only bar for 30 miles. It is literally in the middle of the desert in Wonder Valley.
Returning to that family feeling, you let your main cast shine together before unleashing the cult and the madness that itNot hard at all! I’m so lucky, I feel like I have a cheat code because for seven and a half years, I worked at an acting studio, and I was the studio manager for a few years, so the women in the film I was either in the acting class with them or in the comedy group Woah Man with them.
I had some crazy ideas, but I was like, ‘’What if it’s too much?’’ But I was on Twitter, and this writer is someone that I love and respect. I don’t know him yet, but we will be friends! His name is C. Robert Cargill.He’s not really on Twitter anymore; he’s on Bluesky now because, well… you know, Elon. But he used to just do random tweets where he be like, ‘’Hey I’m up drinking whisky, ask me a question and i’ll see if I can get back to you’’.
When I had my first table read with my producers, I was so nervous about the ending, but we got to the end, and they were like, ‘’That’s the funniest ending to a movie!’’ they were so on board with how insane it got. They encouraged me to make it crazier, so it got a bit crazier. It was so great to collaborate with them.Absolutely, yeah! Go far and rein it back in if you need to, and if not, well, you already did the thing.
