I mean, first of all, they're really fun to play.
00:03
They're fun to be on the set of.
00:08
It's fun playing a character that
00:10
is in a heightened emotional state.
00:15
But with this project, too, it was
00:20
we had to tackle how to build the anticipation.
00:29
And I learned from the best during my first horror movie,
00:34
which was with Wes Craven.
00:36
And he taught me things that, knowing that I had never
00:40
done horror before.
00:43
And he taught me things like, in this moment,
00:48
the speed of your walk, slow it way down.
00:52
Even though it might feel uncomfortable,
00:56
there's that scene in Scream 4 where I'm on the phone,
01:01
and I think it's Trevor pretending to be Ghostface.
01:07
And I think he's turned around, and I
01:09
think he's in the closet.
01:11
That walk to the closet was so slow.
01:15
It felt like I was acting in slow motion.
01:20
But when I opened the door, it gives that perfect timing
01:28
that you have to find to get that reaction,
01:32
the right reaction out of the audience, that scare,
01:35
that jump scare.
01:39
And this one was a different kind of horror film to me.
01:46
It's something that happens every day.
01:52
It's something that, when I read the script, at the end,
01:59
I had to look at myself in the mirror
02:03
and realize that I have not done my due diligence when I've
02:11
gotten those alerts, because I have, in the past,
02:15
been in the mind frame of the chances of me
02:20
being the one to find the right car,
02:25
person who abducted this child, are one in millions.
02:34
But if I can just, every time, I keep it on, too,
02:39
because people are allowed to turn it off now.
02:42
And sometimes it is about the weather,
02:44
but a lot of the times it is an Amber Alert.
02:46
And if everyone who's on the road or just even walking
02:51
just took a second to look around them, everyone,
02:55
even if they're in a rush, just take a look around them.
02:59
We can rescue these children being abducted
03:05
if everyone thought like that.
03:07
So it was important for me to do this movie,
03:09
not just because I loved the script,
03:12
but because I saw it as also like a PSA to remind people
03:20
that I hope, at the end of you watching this,
03:23
it's going to change people's behaviors
03:25
and how they handle themselves in those situations
03:30
when they do see and come across an Amber Alert.
