We chat with TheBoogeyman star Sophie Thatcher about the differences between her characters in new horror film and in the cult horror hit Yellowjackets, as well as what drew her to the Stephen King adaptation:
The Boogeyman follows Sadie Harper and her younger sister Sawyer, who are still grieving the loss of their mother. Struggling with his own grief, their father, Will, is unable to give them the comfort they so desperately need. When a new patient of Will's unexpectedly shows up at their home begging for help, he brings a terrifying entity that latches onto the Harper family. It feeds on their suffering as it becomes more dangerous and infects their home and lives with turmoil.
Sophie Thatcher: Sadie is really complex and has such an interesting story arc and a very satisfying hero's journey. And that's just fun to play out because you get to play through so many different heightened emotions. It's challenging as an actor, but there's so much at stake. She has so many interesting dynamics with her family. There was just so much there. It's Stephen King so of course the characters are well written.
I know that Rob developed a pretty in-depth lore Bible for The Boogeyman, but did you develop aspects of Sadie's backstory when crafting the character that impacted your performance? Sophie Thatcher: He's incredible. He's so passionate, and he brings this fresh outlook because he's young, so passionate about horror, and knows everything. So you just give him complete trust. He knows how to make everything work. He knows how to make the jump scares justified and not just jump scares. You feel it, you really feel it.
Can you talk to me about what draws you into the horror genre and sub-genre with The Boogeyman and Yellowjackets? Sophie Thatcher: Absolutely. Yeah, that's the goal. There's so many different ways of grieving and everyone experiences it in their own way. It doesn't always have to be like the loss of somebody. I think we all experienced it with COVID, the loss of time. I think within the end of this movie it teaches us hopefully acceptance and hopefully that life can move on.
