00:00Hopeful throughout the story that the ending would culminate in something like that.
00:05And then really deeply gratified because I think that the ending
00:10so encompasses the satirical nature of the whole story.
00:14I'm smart! I'm strong! I'm ready for what comes along!
00:19I've got good friends! We'll sing together!
00:23Who wants to play Bodies, Bodies, Bodies?
00:30Oh my god!
00:31Are party movies and specifically nighttime movies just exhausting to film?
00:35Yes, definitely.
00:39I wouldn't say the party element was the thing that was exhausting.
00:42That was kind of a break for us.
00:43But definitely hurricane films.
00:47So that means that you're soaking wet all the time.
00:51Covered in mud and blood all the time.
00:53And yeah, most of our shoots were night shoots.
00:56So we became like strange little feral creatures that only, yeah, only were awake at night.
01:02You know what?
01:04It's, you get into a rhythm where you like come alive at night.
01:09I think we did a lot of overnights.
01:11And then all of a sudden it sort of becomes like the movie is the world.
01:16Because you sleep in the day and you're staying in a weird little hotel in this small town.
01:22So it's, I think it almost like switches and then it kind of fuels you.
01:26And doing the party scenes and the scenes in the rain, it's sort of like electrifying where it's like it
01:32takes so much energy that you create more energy.
01:36Gotcha.
01:37That makes sense.
01:37A quick follow-up.
01:38What is Alice's podcast about?
01:40It's about hanging out with your smartest and funniest friend, which is apparently me.
01:45And I can imagine her just like talking to different people and not really having, she doesn't really have an
01:54arc.
01:55She's working on that and she's figuring it out.
01:57But right now it's just her personality shining through.
02:01I can imagine her having no guests at all.
02:03Just her.
02:04Just her.
02:0560 minutes.
02:0760 minutes.
02:08Sometimes 90 minutes.
02:09Hey guys.
02:12So, starting my stomach was feeling a little weird.
02:15Let me delve into that.
02:17First of all, a podcast takes a lot of work.
02:20Okay?
02:21You have to organize the guests.
02:23You have to do a Google Calendar.
02:25And you build a following.
02:27It takes a long time.
02:29And I've been working on it for a while.
02:30Myala, because of that, were there any bits of direction that you received to almost behave in a certain way
02:36to throw the audience off of the mysteries trail?
02:39No.
02:40Actually, I was never advised to make myself seem more suspicious.
02:46I just am.
02:50Our friend is dead.
02:52So if you could just like not escalate the situation.
02:54I'm not escalating.
02:55You're holding the knife and you're moving your hands while you talk.
02:57No, I think, you know, all of the twists and turns, the audience, like, it could be this person, it
03:02could be that person, all just has to do with, like, each character's, like, deep need to get what they
03:07want.
03:08And the perception from everyone else is what makes it twisted, like their drug-fueled lack of sleep paranoia is
03:17the lens through which we see everyone's need to survive or save the person they, you know what I mean?
03:22So, no, I just look like that, I guess.
03:27Lee, I'm curious if there were any bits of direction that you received throughout the course of the film to
03:31behave specific ways to maybe throw the audience off of the main mysteries trail.
03:37Oh, well, Helena is, what I love so much about working with her is her specificity that she brought to
03:46all of the characters.
03:47And I would watch her give notes to everyone that very much focused all the characters to be very different
03:52from one another.
03:54Because it's all a diversion of, you know, because that's kind of what the movie is about, is the chaos
04:00of this kind of group of psychos.
04:05So, absolutely, I think Greg is, you know, he's not an unserious person, but he's not being serious at this
04:12party, which is what he thinks it is.
04:15You know, he's having a good time with a bunch of kids.
04:17Yeah.
04:17And he doesn't really see danger is around.
04:22You know, I don't think he thinks that there is danger, but he does kind of think at times, this
04:28is not necessarily fun for me.
04:30Right.
04:30I love that he thinks he's in a game throughout elements of it as well, too.
04:34That's Emma.
04:35That's Jordan.
04:37And.
04:38What's up?
04:39I'm Greg.
04:40What's up, player?
04:41I'm Sophie.
04:42Oh, whoa.
04:45You're Sophie.
04:47Maria, one of the things I love so much about the dialogue is that it's very, very modern without being
04:53over the top, almost like a spoof.
04:55You're always gaslighting me.
04:57You can trigger me.
04:58You are so toxic.
04:59Relax.
04:59Relax.
05:00You're silencing me.
05:01The reliance on social media and technology.
05:04And I'm just wondering if that was something that appealed to you in the script of how it presented these
05:08characters and how they speak to each other.
05:10Absolutely.
05:11Yeah.
05:11Absolutely.
05:13That had appealed to me.
05:14I have to say that my character is not one of the most outpoken people in this world that they
05:20live in, but she's out there to see and witness everything that's happening.
05:23And me as myself, I speak way too much more like all the other characters instead of B.
05:31But I see, but I see, and I pretty much, we've been talking about that recently, today, for a long
05:37time, that we are a little bit underrated as Gen Zs and the meaning that we put behind our words.
05:45And I think the film actually shows that there is a little bit more than actually people will see and
05:51talk about.
05:51Um, so, I think the dialogue is incredible.
05:56It's written very well.
05:57And I think everybody will deliver it in a very great way as well.
06:04So, yeah.
06:16And then Chase, um, without giving any specifics away, I just need to know your reaction when you read the
06:22end of the script, because a murder mystery like this hangs on sticking the land.
06:27Yeah, I think it's so, it was so unexpected upon reading it.
06:31I think like throughout, it's so interactive throughout the whole, like you, you swear that you know who it is
06:38and, and that it's going to go one direction.
06:39And I think that's like the most fun, fun part of a horror movie.
06:42And usually you're able to predict the end, but I haven't, I've yet to hear like anyone who has seen
06:48it or been a part of it who's been like, yep, knew that from the start.
06:51So I think it's so cool how it was like very clear upon reading the ending, like this bends genres.
06:57It's not in, you can't typify like one box for this movie.
07:02Uh, completely shocked.
07:05Also hopeful throughout the story that the ending would culminate in something like that.
07:12And then really deeply gratified because I think that the ending so encompasses the satirical nature of the whole story.
07:20Oh my God, it sticks the landing so well.
07:22Congratulations, ladies.
07:23I appreciate it.
07:24Have a good day.
07:25Thank you so much.
07:27Is that the lights?
07:29David!
07:35Our friend is dead.
