When a young girl asks Maika Monroe’s character Lee Harker if it’s “scary being a lady FBI agent” in, she succinctly replies, “Yes, it is.” The new horror sensation from Osgood Perkins follows Lee’s tireless investigation into the return of a mysterious serial killer who leaves a trail of ciphers , while she’s also processing the terror from a trauma she thought she’d suppressed. Monroe, though, may as well be fearless.
There were certain moments in the script, whether the audience picks it up or not, that I wanted to have flashes of the previous trauma trickle in. She suppresses a lot, a lot, a lot, which is very common for people to go through incredibly traumatic experiences, so that was really important to me.. I don't know if any necessarily helped with the character—more maybe the world and stepping into the FBI of it all.
That's what I love about this genre. It's using real-life trauma and then putting it into these insane, preposterous stories, but yet grounded in reality. MC: If you could go back to 2014 before the release and pandemonium of your first two hit movies, what would you tell yourself?It's going to be okay. Oh, man, there are so many ups and downs, but you just got to trust the process., where she edits, writes, and helps to ideate stories across movies, TV, books, and music, from interviews with talent to pop culture features and trend stories.
