During the conversation, Maika Monroe remarked, "I believe the horror genre is one of the most difficult to tackle. The intensity and heightened emotions are overwhelming. Thankfully, I have never experienced anything like being chased or in danger, which is a relief. However, it requires tapping into feelings that are foreign to me. I consider myself fortunate that my entry into acting was through horror, as it prepared me for various challenges in my career."
