During his impressive but cold career, actor and musician Lukas Haas has worked with celebrities such as Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, Steve McQueen and Damien Chazelle. But, interestingly, he hasn’t appeared in so many horror movies. Yes, I had restarted this episode of The Twilight Zone, the charming and fascinating Lady of White (of which we are talking) and David Arquette’s slasher The Tripper with a killer in a Ronald Reagan mask, and Catherine HardwickeArray’s red chaperone. but not much else.
Exploring would possibly or not be a technological horror movie (it’s not exactly Tetsuo: The Iron Man): there’s no killer app in movies like The Countdown or You Die and Videodrome’s horror frame isn’t anywhere. In the interview below, Lukas and I communicated about what is actually most scary to Browse… it can also happen to anyone.
Synopsis: What Richard was looking for after a new beginning, which gave him a nightmare. Browse tells the story of Richard Coleguy (Lukas Haas), an introverted guy who is convinced that his identity has been hacked after worrying about online dating. Desperate for clarity, Richard seeks to note the fact that who is looking to manipulate it and why, however, the more he struggles with his useless research, the more he is thrown into an insurmountable web of paranoia that threatens to destroy his scant control of reality. .
Dread Central: I wonder if you remember anything on lady In White’s set, is this the first horror movie you were in?
Lukas Haas: My God, was this the first horror movie I ever took part in? I think it was! I think it was the first horror movie I ever took part in. Yes, I don’t forget to shoot that movie, it was a lot of fun. L’histoire était tellement cool et nous étions l’-haut dans le nord de l’Etat de New York, ce qui était magnifique. There were many laughing scenes like riding a bike to get stuck in the cement and make jumps. And the costumes and all the special effects and stuff and archery and archery. It was like a great time, All-American to me.
DC: Scream Factory launched a Director’s Cut a few years ago. He’s got cult prestige now, man.
LH: Oh, yes? That’s great! It’s almost a Norman Rockwell thing.
DC: It’s definitely more of a ghost story. Would you say Browse is an example of techno horror? I know it’s being promoted as a horror movie, but it’s more of a mental thriller.
LH: It’s definitely psychological. For me, it’s not necessarily even a thriller. Scary. It’s scary in a completely different way. It’s scary just because I feel like everyone can sense the concept that we’re all connected to the Internet now. We’re all connected to this thing that, in a way, is out of control. There are so many things that have replaced human life through the Internet. All our data is there. You can’t do anything without connecting to it. It’s become so confusing and all because of the internet.
DC: I think it’s now a more uplifting narrative, especially when other people are online now more than ever…
LH: Yes, we have our lives where we are in the global and we are dating each other, however, this other global cloud total with which we relate in a totally different way. It’s just weird.
DC: I came here through your song “She’s In My Head” and the video about someone’s obsession on social media and now reflects your character Richard in this movie.
LH: It’s funny, I didn’t make that connection. It’s a smart connection, it’s true.
DC: Did you have a lot of involvement when you shot this movie?
LH: Yes, definitely. In this case, Mike Testin, the director, was great. He wrote the script and had a genuine vision of what he wanted. I enjoyed the concept of exploring how scary it is. It’s not even like something physical is happening. It’s just all that intellectual tension this character is going through. That’s what I discovered so attractive to explore. It happens but it doesn’t happen, yet it happens! But I definitely love to participate and run with other people and Mike was absolutely open to my concepts. It was great, it was a great experience.
DC: You come up with a plan for what to do in the event of an earthquake and that sort of thing, but no one thinks of a plan to put it into effect if you get hacked.
LH: That’s right. It’s so scary, exactly. Where are you going? How do you know what’s wrong with you? How do I know where it’s coming from? In your case, everything collapses. He doesn’t know why and he doesn’t know where he came from here. Actually, it’s scary because it’s so easy to believe it’s happening. If the wrong user got their data and was able to manipulate it, who knows what he could do to him?
DC: I know Browse isn’t a horror movie, but it’s great that you have Jocelin Donahue there, it has genuine references. I like flashback sequences with him, but haven’t you worked together?
LH: Yes, we couldn’t paint in combination, but she’s fantastic. I love those sequences, I love the way he combined those things as a genuine reminiscence in your own head.
DC: I’m not used to seeing you with a gun either. Maybe Inception, but I can’t think of many times when you take serious action with guns. Were you comfortable with those scenes? Some of them were a little intense.
LH: I made videos with guns, but it’s more about the quotes between your character and the gun. In this case, it was so scary and this gun looks and obviously there’s a target. This leads my character to something he just doesn’t know how to identify himself with. He’s in a position to go down that road because everything has become uncontrollable. It is encouraged, knows that it is a manipulation, but also adheres at the same time because it cannot help itself and has no other options.
DC: What about Midnight in Switchgrass? This has such a great cast, were you filming this?
LH: You know what? We were filming it when Covid hit him. I just got back here, I’m in Puerto Rico, I arrived yesterday. Apparently, we’re going to shoot. I think we’d probably be one of the first movies to shoot. We’re quarantined here for a week to get tested every day. It’s pretty wild, but I’m excited about it. It’s a great movie, I think.
