Jean Smart on her very scary new movie: ‘If you live alone it might be tough to watch’ – EW.com

Awaken the Shadowman, currently available on VOD, is a psychological thriller about a pair of estranged brothers that reunite after their mother (Jean Smart) disappears to discover an unknown supernatural force. Its one of those movies that will get up into your skin and brain and subconscious and juststay there. In other words: this is a scary, scary, movie.

Jean Smart, for one, knows this and even seems to feel a little bit badly when talking to a terrified EW writer. I apologize, Smart says with a laugh. I dont watch movies like this either because I get scared so easily! If you live alone it might be tough to watch. (Watch the trailer below if you are want to know what we mean.)

Written and directed by Woodrow Wilson Hancock III, Skyler Caleb and James Zimbardi, the film centers on Adam (Zimbardi), who is forced to bring his new wife and baby home after his mothers disappearance and to deal with the strained relationship with his brother, Jake (Caleb), as they try to figure out what has happened. A group called Gateways also starts to take on a more sinister influence. Its a little Rosemarys Baby-ish, says Smart. I think the psychologically scary movies end up being the ones that are the most scary. You know, not the monster ones but the ones that leave you too scared to even look in your closet.

Filming the movie was a different matter I had a great time, says Smart, who has worked with Skyler Caleb before and didnt hesitate when he asked her to play his mom on film. When youre in the movie its not scary at all.

You can watch Awaken the Shadowman on iTunes and Amazon now.
