Photos and Q&A transcript thanks to Sam Claflin Fans!
Twitter Q&A Hosted by @FrightClubUK:
@hutcher1997: How is preparing for this movie completely different to others you’ve previously filmed?
Sam: I had to research how to handle a camera, which I didn’t know about before.
@SamClaflin_IT: How was to play in a horror movie?
Sam: It was challenging, I got very familiar with my scared face!
@SamClaflinFans: What do you love the most about working in smaller production?
Sam: The intimacy of the cast and the crew – you all get to know each other a lot better!
@Melanie__SP: Why should we see this movie?
Sam: If you like to be scared – a very jumpy film that makes you think. It goes back to the classic route of Hammer.
@SamClaflin_IT: Can you describe the character of Brian in three words?
Sam: Non-believer, curious and reserved.
@SamClaflinFans: How would you describe the relationship between Brian and Professor Coupland?
Sam: It’s a tumultuous one – they have their ups and downs.
@RobHGHP: Who is the most interesting character in this movie for you?
Sam: It would have to be Harper (quiet, dangerous and beautiful)
@SamClaflinFans: Which scenes are you most looking forward to people to watch?
Sam: I’d say as we delve deeper into the scientific methods and experiments.
@HestIsBest: How successful do you think you’ve been in selling the idea that ghosts are something created only by our minds?
Sam: I’ve always been a non-believer but curious. The true story element opens up the debate.
@podcastd: Do you believe in ghosts and have you ever had a paranormal experience?
Sam: I’d love to have had one because I’m curious. I’ve had friends who have, and their stories interest me.
@hutcher1997: If you were in the same situation these university students are in, would you stay and film or bolt out of there?
Sam: I’d like to think that I’d stay there, but I have a feeling I’d bolt. It depends exactly how dangerious it is.
@atthebeach3: What sorts of things scare you the most?
Sam: The thought of losing someone that means a lot to me is what scares me most.
@catchingj0sh: Any funny moments on set?
Sam: Filming without sound effects and music, the director gave his impressions – which were always funny!
@kelsheewelshy: Any accidents during filming? Tripping on the stairs, running into a door?
Sam: Surpisingly not for me, which is rare – I’m usually the first to hurt myself!
@xol: After this is over, what other productions would you like to pursue?
Sam: I don’t have any expectations in mind.
@heyingridl: Which was the most difficult scene to shoot?
Sam: Any scene that required us to react to something that wasn’t there.
@heyingridl: If you had a theme song, what would it be?
Sam: Spice up your life!
@Love_Shrader: Hi Sam! Do you have any similarities with your character?
Sam: We’re both kind of reserved, non-believers but curious. He’s also a loving person. We also look quite similar.
