We chat with MyBestFriendsExorcism stars Cathy Ang & Rachel Ogechi Kanu about the importance of their supporting characters in the PrimeVideo horror comedy, the fun of building their group dynamic, and more:
Find out if friendship can beat the devil in My Best Friend's Exorcism. Based on Grady Hendrix's novel of the same name, the film centers on best friends Abby and Gretchen as they prepare to be apart when the latter moves. They find their friendship tested even earlier than that when Gretchen starts acting strangely, seemingly the product of demonic possession.
Cathy Ang: For me, my audition scenes kind of gave us a little spoiler about some of the struggles that Glee goes through in the movie. I was immediately drawn to her, because I just haven't really seen a young Asian-American girl in Catholic school in the '80s having to go through some of her struggles. So, I was very excited about the prospect of playing her and representing that story.
Both of those character dynamics really play into the group dynamic. The emotional stakes get you invested if you can feel that chemistry amongst the actors, and I know I certainly did. What was it like for the four of you building that off-camera before filming? I'm glad you got to have that experience with one another behind the camera as much as in front of it. Did you put together any to give you all a specific inspiration for that '80s time period for the movie?
Cathy Ang: Getting to the heart of my character, I felt like I did understand her. But, as maybe not one of the two lead girls, I wanted to make sure that Glee did not come across as one-dimensional. She has her arc, but it was important to me, because we don't see a character like her that often. The other giant challenge for me was just that it was my first live-action film, and the Amazon team and Damon were taking this wonderful chance on these young actors.
