With the remake of Wes Cravenâs âThe Last House on the Leftâ opening at movie theaters this Friday, these next few days are what Iâm calling âLast House Weekâ on Collider. What that means isâ¦.everyday Iâll be posting a different video interview with either a cast member or director Dennis Iliadis and Wes Craven (they were paired at the press day). While Iâve already posted my interview with Sara Paxton, itâs now time to watch the one with Garret Dillahunt.
For some of you, Garret is going to look really familiar. Thatâs because heâs been in a ton of movies and TV shows like âDeadwoodâ, âThe 4400â, âNo Country for Old Menâ, âThe Assassination of Jesse Jamesâ, and most recently, heâs been a Terminator on âTerminator: The Sarah Conner Chroniclesâ.
But for me, heâs just my BFF from Comic-Con. Let me explain.
But after I told him about how cool the badge was, he proceeded to offer it for me to use. He said something about leaving pretty soon and he took it off and handed it to me. Needless to say, I was floored. I barely knew the guy and he was offering me cool swag. Since then, Iâve run into him a few times and each time we joke around about the badge and I keep saying I owe him. Since Iâm sure Iâll never have anything as cool as that badge to return the favor with, hopefully this story will suffice. While you always hear about actors as really difficult people or hard to work with, Garret could not have been nicer and more friendly every time Iâve spoken with him. Trust me, itâs not the norm.
And thatâs how weâre BFFâs from Comic-Con.
But enough about that, letâs get to the reason youâre hereâ¦.the interview.
In âThe Last House on the Leftâ Garret plays the leader of the gang that comes to terrorize a family. Letâs just say Garretâs character is not a guy you'd ever want to run into.
Hereâs the synopsis:
âLast House on the Leftâ explores how far two ordinary people will go to exact revenge on the sociopaths who harmed their child. Hereâs the synopsis:
The night she arrives at the remote Collingwood lakehouse, Mari (Sara Paxton) and her friend are kidnapped by a prison escapee and his crew. Terrified and left for dead, Mariâs only hope is to make it back to parents John and Emma (Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter). Unfortunately, her attackers unknowingly seek shelter at the one place she could be safe. And when her family learns the horrifying story, they will make three strangers curse the day they came to The Last House on the Left.
And with that, hereâs Garret. Finally, if youâd like to watch some movie clips click here.
