The day there is not one person who claims to love their job left on earth, it means Samara Weaving might have crossed the thresholds of heaven. The ability to create narratives and plans of action on your own accord within your sphere of profession is what, if not a sign of a prodigy. And this is exactly what Weaving's words reflect as she reveals to Variety, her secrets of being a scream queen. From enjoying the sweet taste of (fake) blood to have mapped out to the devil-est within the details on how to bring out the terrified from deep within her, the Scream VI star openly hails the opportunity to explore at large, the scale of human emotions, when it comes to understanding and then performing, the act of being terrified.
With her most recent scream flick, Borderline having stalked (much like Ray Nicholson in the movie) the theatres, Samara is ever the more appreciative of the nuances that go into the making of a horror movie. Weaving claims to have been in complete awe of the script for the new film the moment she had it in her hands. Revealing her trick of looking scared witless to be an intricate blend of a good mind-wrenching song to get the tears started and just at the brim mixed with a little improvisation of hyperventilation and eye-darting.
While the horror genre remains a staple in the industry, the actors in the frame often become niched to just that- to be horrific or horrified.

With Borderline out in theaters, Samara Weaving has added under her belt the hilarious 90s pop-star Sofia's persona. Dealing with the part with a comically dark game of cat and mouse between Weaving and Ray Nicholson, Borderline showcases a more humorously balanced side of her expertise. Weaving's performance is seen to be relaxed and hilariously off-beat, creating a good contrast with her role in the Netflix Top 5 Scream VI.
