“In the script it said that I should wear a beard, but I didn’t feel that this gave the character realism, I spoke with the director, and after shaving and only having a mustache, I found the character,” he says.
While D’Arcy Carden highlights the bravery of the bride as a hero in a torn dress, who, feeling supported by her family, had the strength to face evil.
“It all comes down to love and family, the film makes you reflect on who is important in your life and how it is so easy to take things for granted, but in a life or death situation you see what is important to you,” he says. carden.
