Camila Morrone on Horror Acting, Soulmates, and Her Lead Role in Netflix's 'Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen'
Camila Morrone stars in the Netflix horror series 'Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen,' playing Rachel Harkin, a bride-to-be who discovers her fiancé is not the one during a cursed family gathering. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Morrone discusses her nuanced views on soulmates, emphasizing that they require work, luck, and timing rather than guaranteed destiny. She also reflects on the growing recognition of horror performances in awards season, noting that the genre is finally receiving the critical acclaim it deserves.
Camila Morrone stars in Netflix's eight-episode horror series 'Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen,' created by Haley Z. Boston, which follows Rachel Harkin as she navigates five days leading up to her wedding at her fiancé Nicky's remote family lodge in upstate New York, only to discover through an ancient family curse that he is not her soulmate. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Morrone discusses her pragmatic approach to the concept of soulmates, explaining that while she believes they can exist, they require significant work, luck, and timing—a perspective shaped by her experience as a child of divorced parents. Morrone also addresses the evolving landscape of horror performances in awards recognition, noting that while historically underrepresented (with few exceptions like Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins in 'Silence of the Lambs'), recent years have seen a shift with performances in horror films gaining more critical acclaim and award consideration. She attributes this change to greater diversity within the genre and increased recognition of the demanding nature of horror acting. Morrone describes her five-month shoot in Canada's winter as grueling and bloody, and reflects on how this Netflix project represents a significant step in her career following supporting roles in 'Daisy Jones & the Six' and 'The Night Manager' season two.
