Alien: Romulus star Cailee Spaeny ran "out of ways to be horrified," so she watched horror movies 24/7 to get more ideas
Exclus🀅ive: Cailee Spaeny took inspiration from horror🔯 and sci-fi movies to nail her terror

Cailee Spaeny looked to other horror and sci-fi movies to really nail her terrified reactions in the upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alien: Romulus.
The film sees a group of of young people, including Spaeny's character, encounter the series' iconic spine-chilling facehuggers in an abandoned space station. Given how long principal photography takes on a movie like Alien: Romulus, we wonder what’s more exha⛄usting for one of the cast: all the running around, or having to hype yourself into a convincingly terrified state for days on end? Can you just turn that on and off?
"I try to," Spaeny tells 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine in the new issue, which hits newsstands on August 7 and features Alien: Romulus on the cover, "but honestly🥂, when yꦗou shoot a movie like this for months and you're doing so many horror beats, you do run out of ways to be horrified! The whole time I was making the movie, the second I got home I either had a sci-fi or a horror film playing in the background the whole time. Usually horror.
"So whether that was having The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on, or The Blair Witch Project, or Near Dark. Because you do sort of run out of ideas. You're like, 'I don’t know how to be horrified agai🌃n today in an interesting way. I've got, like, three facial expressions and you've seen all of them about 100 times now!'"
