Sarah Michelle Gellar interview

My Women of Horror piece on Sarah Michelle Gellar for The Return is now live at IGN.

When it came time to select her next project, Gellar wanted to stick with the supernatural thriller genre, but it had to be different. Really different. It had to have a certain something about her character that would set moviegoers on edge. So she accepted director Asif Kapadia's The Return, and with it, the challenge of playing a masochist.

"She's a cutter," says Gellar of her character Joanna Mills. "She does violent things to her body, and that's sort of an interesting concept all in itself."
