The Banshees of Inisherin star Kerry Condon has a lot more respect for horror actors after starring in Night Swim, her first-ever horror venture.
"I think it was probably a little harder to act, to be honest. I kind of looked at horror actors with a lot more respect than I'd had in the past because it's quite difficult to imagine something that's kind of unimaginable and how you would react to that in, in a way where you have to be truthful," Condon tells GamesRadar+. "I always have to try and think about it being truthful. And that was one of my concerns initially. I wanted to try the genre just because cause I hadn't done it and it would be something different, but I was afraid that I would be too truthful and not able to sell it as a horror movie. But I was reassured by Jason Blum and that's what they needed: you had to have it grounded in reality."
Night Swim, directed by Bryce McGuire, follows former baseball player Ray Waller (Wyatt Russell) and his family as they move into a new house and attempt to settle into a normal life.

So it was a bit of a leap of faith and I thought, well, I'll just try it and see what it's like."
The critically acclaimed dramatic actor is hot off of winning a BAFTA for The Banshees of Inisherin, for which she also received a Golden Globe nomination. She also played Stacey Ehrmantrout, Mike's daughter-in-law, in Better Call Saul as well as Molly Sullivan in Ray Donovan. In 2024, Condon is set to join the Star Wars universe in the upcoming Disney Plus series Skeleton Crew. She says she wouldn't mind doing another horror movie, but she wouldn't be "lining up" to take more on.
"They're kind of hard," she says. "They’re exhausting, you know? And it is a leap of faith. Whereas like with other movies, or Better Call Saul, there's a gauge of how many emotions you would actually feel in this particular [moment], you know, you can imagine it. But imagining is this pool is [possessed] – you know what I mean? – it's hard. So it
