Briana Evigan says slasher film Sorority Row is tongue-in-cheek fun
LOS ANGELES — Briana Evigan is one of a pair of famous daughters in “Sorority Row,” opening in theaters today. The daughter of “B.J. and the Bear” star Greg Evigan co-stars with Rumer Willis, the daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.
Evigan said Willis doesn’t at all have a stereotypical Hollywood personality.
“She’s got the sweet, shy, honest personality going on,” Evigan, 22, said.
As for her own industry parents (her mother is a former ballerina, agent and model), Evigan said they will give her feedback on projects but don’t impose on what she does.
“I send them scripts sometimes when I get a job and ask them what they think,” Evigan said.
“Sometimes my dad will attack my script with notes and hand it back to me with hundreds of notes all over it. And he says take or leave it. … if you hate ‘em, throw ‘em, and if you love ‘em, use ‘em. And other than that, he checks out my head every time I get home to make sure it’s not bigger.”
The slasher film “Sorority Row” is a throwback to the 1980s, and Evigan said viewers are supposed to have some fun along with the violence and body count.
“After I watched it, I was like, ‘Nobody can make fun of us, because there’s so much making fun of ourselves already in the film,’ and I love that,” she said. “There’s definitely that tongue-in-cheek feel.”
“Sorority Row” is a loose remake of 1983’s “House on Sorority Row.” It is directed by Stewart Hendler.
Evigan plays Cassidy, who disagrees with the judgment made by the sorority girls after they are caught up in a prank gone wrong. Despite her character disagreeing with the other characters, Evigan said she and her co-stars became fast friends.
“Every single one of us got along very well,” she said. “The cool thing was because we became such close friends so quickly, we could be open (in our work).”
As for her own favorite horror films, Evigan prefers less gore.
“(My favorites are) ‘The Shining,’ ‘Psycho,’ ‘Alien,’ ‘Carrie.’ I like the classics a little more. I’m not into the gore, (or) ‘watch me cut your body open.’”
