UNSANE, the Steven Soderbergh psychothriller that opened Friday, features as its villain Joshua Leonard, whose horror résumé stretches back to his big-screen debut in the 1999 trendsetter THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. We got a few words with the actor contrasting the two movies, and his first words on his next fright feature, Larry Fessenden’s DEPRAVED.
Whether or not the creators of UNSANE were aware that that title was used for the butchered U.S. release of Dario Argento’s TENEBRAE, their movie doesn’t take overt stylistic cues from thrillers of the past (the very ’70s final shot aside). One of the key story points, in fact, is very much tied to the here and now.
Sawyer (played by THE CROWN’s Claire Foy) is trapped in a situation where everyone thinks she’s UNSANE in Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming psychological chiller. Jump past the jump to see a new clip from the movie.
