When something is undeniably right, it’s right — and it shouldn’t be questioned. This is how we feel about Emma Roberts acting in the horror genre, and we learned during our chat with her that she feels the same way.
“I love the genre. I love horror. I love thriller. I love horror-comedy,” she explained to The List. “I always find myself gravitating back towards it.” In fact, “Abandoned” specifically lit something inside her. “This one, when I read it, I felt like it stood out because … Having done other things in a similar genre, I now want to be thoughtful with the things that I do in the genre.”
“[With] this one, I couldn’t stop thinking about it after I read it. The characters were interesting, and I like that everything was very nuanced,” she continued. This is something she always brings to her roles, but “Abandoned” takes an even deeper look at its characters. “There’s definitely some scares in it, but it’s nuanced to where you can go back and watch it and see what’s underneath. That makes for a compelling thriller.”
“Abandoned” is now in theaters and lands on digital and On Demand on June 24.
