The young star of ‘The Fabelmans’ usually downplays her expectations, but when it came to trying out for the lead role of A24’s new horror flick, the 23-year-old actor “felt it in her bones.”
"We’d do these long 15-minute takes, and you’re sitting in that scariness for so long that you start to believe it,” says Chloe East of filming Heretic.Chloe East has a distinctive coping mechanism for navigating the pressures of her growing fame — she convinces herself that every project might fail. Her first big role was in 2021’s HBO teen drama, playing the Jesus-loving Monica, a mashup of the director’s various childhood love interests.
“This sounds cocky, but I felt like there was no way anyone knew the character more than me,” she says. “I felt protective of the role, and I desperately wanted it so I could give a respectful representation of a Mormon missionary. I just felt it in my bones.” The film is both an examination of religiosity and an entertainingly gory thriller, and though East is not a horror head herself, that element appealed to her cinephile side.
