Clive Owen hopes to spook audiences with new film
- 12 years ago
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo put a twist on the classic horror story with the new film "Intruders."
At the film's New York premiere on Monday (March 19), the star of the film, Clive Owen took the film completely out of the horror category by calling it a psychological thriller.
"It's very spooky and it's very scary at times but all the fear and all the sort of - it comes from within and it comes from the people in the movie," said Owen.
The film's villain, known as Hollow Face, terrorizes two family relationships; a father and daughter in England and a mother and son in Spain. The lines of imagination and reality blur as each child unknowingly brings Hollow Face to life by writing stories about the figure.
Owen plays John Farrow, a blue collar worker who tries to protect his daughter from the intruder. The family aspect of the movie is something Owen said was easy for him to portray.
One thing the English actor wasn't familiar with was speaking Spanish. The script, written by Spanish writers Nicolas Casariego and Jaime Marques, called for quite a bit of the language for Owen's character, which he said didn't come easy.
"Intruders" will be in theaters on March 30th.
