Hallowed Ground features a outstanding performance by Jaimie Alexander, (Rest Stop, “Kyle XY”) hailed as one of the new generation of “scream queens” by USA Today, alongside Brian McNamara (Arachnophobia, “Billionaire Boys Club”) and Hudson Leick (“Xena: Warrior Princess”). In the scary vein of such classics horror film as Jeepers Creepers and Children of the Corn, David Benullo (Around the World in 80 Days) makes his chilling directorial debut in a film that is packed with bone-chilling suspense and unforgettable gory images.

FanBolt recently had a chance to sit down with the actress and speak with her about her latest project and also the return of Kyle XY!

How would you describe Hallowed Ground and your role in it?

It’s a low-budget horror film that is fun to watch. My role in the movie is the heroine character who battles a small town involved in a religious cult.

Was there anything specific about this movie, or perhaps this character, that drew you to this project?

The physical side of the role. I am always attracted to strong female characters.

What was the most challenging part of filming this movie and was it what you expected?

The night shoots in the cold, and no, it wasn’t what I expected.

You’ve been hailed as one of the new generation of "scream queens", what do you think about that?

It's pretty cool.
