00:00Get inside!

00:02What appealed to me most about this project was the time period.

00:05It's set in the 1930s during the Dust Bowl,

00:08which was a really terrifying experience

00:11that a lot of people in our country had to endure.

00:18The storms would come and they would just lift the ground into the air

00:22and it was relentless.

00:24So it was just really ripe for a story of real horror.

00:29Any word on that drifter?

00:31It's like he just melted into the dust.

00:37We wanted to combine this sense of horror

00:40with this beautiful, kind of epic, gorgeous, cinematic sense of landscape.

00:45We were really interested in really sweeping wide shots

00:48where you just can't see the end of the earth

00:51and it feels like that's almost just as suffocating.

00:54There's no escape.

00:59Sarah Paulson has this unique gift of being able to play somebody

01:03who is holding everything together but inside is just about to crumble.

01:11I don't know how many other people could take on what she's taken on with this.

01:14This is a long distance run and it's really hard and she's really good.

01:18He's in the air, Rose!

01:21He could be anywhere!

01:25The movie is a horror film of sorts

01:28but it's a horror of the mind.

01:30The thing that changes our heroine

01:33is this desperate urge to protect her kids.

01:36That's what makes her dangerous.

01:40Leave! Leave!

01:43You heard that, right?

01:45The idea of something like this happening to any average person

01:50feels so possible that when you see something like this film

01:54you realize what would I do to save my family.

01:57Arrête-toi, Rose!

02:00Qui es-tu?

02:02Le monstre le plus effrayant n'est pas l'escalade

02:05mais c'est la chose qui reprend quelqu'un que tu aimes.

02:08Arrête-toi!
