“Her life is dislocated to a lot of the things that anchor you in life.
She’s found herself in a place where home has no meaning and her sister represents that.”

“Some of that was cut.
Was that just for fun and games, I ask now?
Was everyone just enjoying the rag doll situation?”
“I’d have to spray water under my chin.
It was like being the Tin Man.
But with blood.”
“I was drooling to get to the chainsaw,” she says.
“It’s a real chainsaw, they just remove the chain.
It [was] the closest moment to feeling like Ash in the movie.
My fangirl was going off.”
“We instantly bonded about the torture,” she says.
“It was hilarious to hear some of the wild shenanigans he went through.
I was just laughing.”
More recently, Sullivan hung out with Jane Levy, who starred in 2013’s Fede Alvarez-directed rebootEvil Dead.
Sullivan will next be seen in the science filmMonolith.
The actress describes the movie as a “one-woman show.”
“So I’m the only actor onscreen,” she says.
It’s a descent into madness really.

Less fake blood and real bruises?
“It was absurd.
Evil Dead Risewill be released in theaters this Friday.
