Dacre Montgomery & Vicky Krieps Interview: Playing the Same Character in Went Up the Hill
19Spooky season is still a few weeks away, but it’s never too early for a chilling horror-tinged flick to kick things off. Fresh from the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival comes Went Up the Hill, a brooding story of how two strangers are united by the spirit of an estranged family member through possession. Jack (Dacre Montgomery) flies to New Zealand to attend the wake of his estranged mother, Elizabeth. That's where he meets Jill (Vicky Krieps), his mother’s widow. Following the funeral, the two feel obliged to get to know each other out of respect for their late mother/wife. When the spectral presence of Elizabeth makes itself known, Jack and Jill are thrown into a maddening pool of chaos and confusion.
Directed by Aotearoa New Zealand filmmaker, Samuel Van Grinsven, Collider’s own Perri Nemiroff had the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation about Went Up the Hill with him and his stars, Montgomery and Krieps, at the Collider interview studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL. During their conversation, the trio discusses how opposite processes and on-set friction can produce positive results, how the two co-stars inspired one another, and upcoming projects like Faces of Death.
