Ryan Reynolds talks Amityville Horror

Our friends from Bloody Disgusting had the chance to talk to Ryan Reynolds, who portrays George Lutz in Andrew Douglas movie "The Amityville Horror". The movie is about George and Kathy Lutz, who together with their children, move into a house thinking it would be their dream home. But shortly after settling in, bizarre and unexplainable events began to occur – nightmarish visions and haunting voices from an evil presence still lurking within the house.

Here are a few clips from the interview:

Q: What do you do to prepare to play such a dark character?

RYAN: I look at it like everyone has these wounds they acquired in childhood and that sort of thing. Not to be too Youngian or anything on it. I just look at that stuff when I was young and the things that effected me most. The things that I sort of hung on to and don't really look too much so much I kind of did for this movie and really helped fuel the fire so to speak a little bit, stuff that you're usually covering up when you're doing movies like comedies. It was fun for me. Everybody has rage within them and their own unique set of wounds and an ability to go off the deep end. It's just a journey to sort of find that and once you do it kind of fun to explore and or exploit.

Q: Is it a matter of technique?

RYAN: I've never studied acting so I don't know. I mean I've studied it in the sense that when I'm doing it I feel like I'm studying but I have never formally studied it, like "Oh, I'm going to implement the Misner method here." I've never done that. That's something that doesn't work for me.

Q: Did anything weird happen to you during filming?

RYAN: Nothing weird happened to me. I know that some people on the crew experienced some stuff. I know that it was disconcerting to find out that Kathy Lutz passed away in the middle of the movie which was pretty odd and we took a moment to pause for her. They did fish a body out of the lake the first week we were there. That's awfully strange. I mean what do you say to that except some inappropriate joke. That was definitely something a little bit strange for everyone the crew included; just a weird way to start a movie.
