Inde Navarrette spoke to @Elisabetta B about what it was like to leave her character Nikki behind after filming Curry Barker’s film “Obsession” #obsession #indenavarrette #currybarker #horrormovie
Playing a character in a horror film like Nikki in 'Obsession' can be an intense emotional journey. Inde Navarrette shared how fully immersing herself into Nikki’s role meant dealing with physical and emotional remnants long after filming ended. For instance, the repeated exposure to fake blood left lasting stains not only visually but also physically, as she found remnants on her feet and hair, reminding her of the character's presence. More importantly, Inde highlighted the emotional toll and cathartic nature of inhabiting such a complex role. She explained that as a child, she was taught to control and compartmentalize emotions, which is important in daily life but can suppress genuine feelings. Acting as Nikki allowed her to 'exorcise' these emotions, similar to the concept portrayed in the movie 'The Exorcist.' This process gave her a way to release pent-up feelings through her character, making experiences like singing in the shower therapeutic. For actors involved in emotionally demanding horror films, finding outlets for emotion release is crucial. Inde’s experience underscores the significance of self-care and emotional management during and after intense roles. Engaging in simple, personal rituals such as music and showers helped her transition away from her character’s energy and regain balance. This insight is valuable for performers and fans alike to appreciate the depth behind portraying horror roles and the impact such parts can have beyond the screen.
