In the latest Talking Strange, we are joined by SHE WILL director Charlotte Colbert, and star Alice Krige. Opening in theaters and on IFC Midnight July 15, 2022, SHE WILL is an atmospheric gothic-tinged horror movie, and feminist fairy tale about aging actor Veronics Ghent (Alice Krige) goes to a healing retreat in rural Scotland following a mastectomy, and joined by her young nurse Desi (Kota Eberhardt).
With her own identity in doubt, Veronica starts to confront past traumas endured on movie sets. The two women develop an unlikely bond as mysterious supernatural forces of the wilderness — and the witches executed on the land 300 years ago — give Veronica the power to enact revenge. In the interview, Krige and Colbert talk about the parallels between #MeToo and witch trials, as well as the involvement of horror icon Dario Argento (who serves as executive producer), and actor Malcolm McDowell.
