Meet Gen Z’s Scream Queen |
Growing up, Chase Sui Wonders wouldn’t be caught dead at a slasher movie. “I always stayed far away. If I was watching that with my friends at a sleepover, I would have to go home, and it would be very embarrassing,” she tells Rebecca Ford. But everything changed after she filmed the sly horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies. Seeing how the genre’s sausage was made allowed Sui Wonders to face her fears—and take on a lead role in an even bigger horror project, a reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer, out in theaters this July. Here, Ford profiles the rising star, who also made waves this spring on Apple TV+’s insidery comedy The Studio. That project “has helped me unlock a part of myself that is kind of just unabashed,” Sui Wonders says. “I just want to play complicated characters—interesting women who are one degree off, women who are just unafraid to be crazy or weird or ugly.”
