Depravity director Paul Tamasy talked about the thriller movie starring Victoria Justice, which is his directorial debut.
“When three residents suspect their reclusive neighbor is a serial killer, they break into his apartment only to uncover a hidden fortune in stolen art. But their discovery turns into a nightmare as they’re ensnared in a sadistic game of survival, where every corner hides a new horror. Outsmart the killer or become his next victim,” says the synopsis for Depravity.
Whenever I go to movies, particularly thrillers, I wanna be surprised. As a writer, I usually can tell where a movie’s going. So I love it when I show up at a movie, and I come outta there going, “I had no idea that was gonna happen.” So, I really went out of my way to try to make that happen here, where the audience is continually surprised around every corner.
I landed on Dermot. His hair is his signature. But I thought, “Hmm, I wonder what he would look like if he lost that hair.” I knew he had the gravitas, the talent to command the screen the way I needed this character to do it. So when I met with him, he had this big, thick head of hair. He’d just come off another movie. I said, “If you do this, I want all that hair to come off.” He said, “What?” And I pointed to a guy that we could literally see outside the office.
But again, I wanted somebody like her that felt accessible. She really, in the movie, is the audience. She’s sort of the innocent that gets sucked into this world. So we kind of get sucked into it with her. Because she falls for Alex and, obviously, what happens to her in this story is tragic. I don’t wanna give anything away, but she’s actually my favorite character in the film just because of the rollercoaster ride that character goes on.
