US singer-songwriter and actress Brandy Norwood is making headlines once again with her latest venture into the horror genre. The acclaimed artist, known for her dynamic performances across various media, stars in the chilling new film, The Front Room. This A24 coproduction, which has recently hit US cinemas, promises to deliver spine-tingling thrills and a showcase of Brandy’s versatile acting skills.
The Front Room revolves around Belinda and Norman, a couple whose lives are upended when Norman’s estranged mother moves into their home. The film, loosely based on Susan Hill’s 2016 short story, brings a dark and eerie atmosphere, amplified by its filming location: an infamous, abandoned house in New Jersey.
In an exclusive interview, Brandy shared her enthusiasm for this new project. “I love the fact that you get to be scared and you get to put together these scenes that scare other people and you bring life to a character,” says the 45-year-old actress. Despite her reservations about horror films, Brandy expresses a deep appreciation for the genre. “For me, way back in the day, it was just a lot of fun just doing that movie I loved, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. They’re doing a new one I hear, and I would love to be a part of that. I just love the horror genre. I don’t really love horror films, but I love the horror genre.”
Brandy’s dedication to her craft is evident in her portrayal of dark and intense scenes in The Front Room. The actress emphasizes the importance of decompressing after such emotionally demanding roles. “You compartmentalize everything and you try to break everything down and just step away from it, because I do go to some dark places in this film, but I come out alright.”
The Front Room is set to be released in the UK on October 25th, and it has already sparked significant interest among horror enthusiasts and Brandy’s fans alike. With its gripping narrative and Brandy’s compelling performance, the film is poised to be a standout in the horror genre.
