Alicia Silverstone Interview: Krazy House
17Celebrating the world premiere of his new horror comedy, Krazy House, at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, writer and director Steffen Haars dropped by the Collider Studio, sponsored by Film.io, to talk with Editor-in-Chief Steve Weintraub about the unhinged premise of his fifth feature film with co-writer and director, Flip Van der Kuil. The Dutch duo were inspired by the idyllic family units on shows like Full House and Family Ties, with their bite-size, easy-to-solve dilemmas, but they wondered what would happen if you threw a violent, bloody wrench into that beloved formula.
Starting out just like one of those happy-go-lucky ‘90s sitcoms, with a live audience laugh track and all, Krazy House eases viewers into the zany home of the Christian family. Devout housemaker, Bernie Christan (Nick Frost) is a clumsy goofball who means well, but when he’s prepping to celebrate Easter with his wife, Eva (Alicia Silverstone), and their two kids, Sarah (Gaite Jansen) and Adam (Walt Klink), he somehow manages to break the faucet off the sink. (Oh, Bernie!) To get the house back in tip-top shape, Bernie enlists the help of a trio of Russian handymen. When the handymen turn out to be wanted criminals with nefarious intentions, Bernie must snap out of his safe headspace to save his loved ones, but will Bernie snap for good?
Check out the full conversation with the Krazy House crew in the video above to find out how the cast got involved with this wild script, how they designed the Krazy House theme song, and what scenes they were most anticipating filming. Silverstone shares which scandalous scene from the directing duo's previous film, Ron Goossens, Low Budget Stuntman, was just off the wall enough to convince her to FaceTime for the part, which of her films she wants more people to check out, what it was like reuniting with Benicio Del Toro for Netflix's Reptile, and more.
