It was so much fun to do all that stuff and just. That driveway scene, I didn’t see that coming. It just gave more to the story and more movement and just different ways she could attack people. And then realizing that she is really strong too. You don’t know what to fully expect from her. Go! But for this it’s like, she will creep up on you, and she will move fast if she needs to. It’s kind of fun, you are just yelling, you have time to run away. I mean, I love the horror movies where the killer is always walking at that same pace. Was that a conscious choice in the script, or was it something you guys discussed? She is very deliberate, she doesn’t waste time. All those other films from THE RING to THE GRUDGE, they move slowly the whole time. And what I thought was more interesting about Diana is that she is very deliberate. I was noticing obviously in visuals, the look of it was like Asian horror. It was never totally choreographed and we would do different versions of it, just to see what would look better on camera and what David liked. Even with the unwinding of the hands because the fingers are so long – slow movements to fast movements – because we kind of wanted to mix things up so not all the movements would be the same. Do you want me to just stand up like a cat.

Certain scenes though, David had very specific moments he wanted to capture and I would always ask am I popping up really fast, or like a slow raise and do you want it like… There were different moments where I’m crouched in a ball so do you want me to roll up through my spine. It wasn’t like specifically choreographed. How specifically choreographed does it have to be versus just getting into the character? We were just weaving in and out of doing different movements and trying different ways this character can move and how quick and how supernatural the movement would be. I was doing weird movements because we were just like going fully one way, and then he’d be like, “Oh I like this part, but maybe not so much this.” So we’d turn it around. Because of my dance and gymnastics background – I’m sure they have a video of my audition somewhere – I was doing backbends and crawling on my hands. Yeah, he definitely had an idea but I don’t think he really knew exactly how it would look on a human body or if someone could move that way. So it was fun.ĭid you get to add your own interpretation of how Diana would move, or was that something David clearly had mapped out in his head? I was like, oh, that’s what it looks like. So it’s more of just what I feel like so seeing it was really cool. There was a point where I was like, oh… But also when I’m doing the movements and stuff, I don’t see myself you know. Were you actually scared by your own performance? And then with the music and everything all combined together, it’s just creepy. It looks totally different in the film sometimes than on-set. There are certain scenes where I forgot about, and I even jumped. I love all that eeriness and just trying to help create the mood and bring the character to life. When David first showed me the character and the artwork, I was so excited. What was it like for you to step into the role of Diana in LIGHT’S OUT? Rarely do we see actors in a role like Diana, it’s oftentimes CG.

Alicia will next appear in the horror sequel ANNABELLE 2, also directed by Sandberg, so it looks like Alicia may become a major force in the world of horror. The actress/stunt woman has worked in everything from BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE to DIVERGENT, as well as a ton of genre features. Recently, a small group of journalist had the pleasure of sitting down with the LIGHTS OUT star to talk about the movie’s impressive opening – especially considering the budget – and working with the first time feature film director. However, when called for, she can easily take on a frightening persona. In fact, the stunt woman/actress is beautiful, bright and charmingly funny. Alicia is far from the monstrous and creepy presence who lurked in the shadows terrorizing Teresa Palmer.

Sitting across from the lovely Alicia Vela-Bailey, you’d never expect her to be the woman behind ‘Diana’ in the new horror thriller LIGHTS OUT, from David F.
