“Familiar horror tropes and flashes of comedy, she said, don’t diminish her work’s gender politics.”
““I see women suffering, and I experience it.”
“The filmmaker and her star were not standing outside the tragedy, archly commenting on its excesses.”
“The result is an even more luscious fantasyland than “The Love Witch” that is equally authentic to the woman who made it.”
“I’m not even dictating style.” Froseth made Eleanor her own, Biller said, by drawing on emotions and experiences the director would never presume to define for her.”
“Anna Biller, Jonah Hauer-King, and Kristine Froseth for Deadline at TIFF 2026 Josh Telles/Deadline “We were both sobbing because it was such a moment,” she said.”
““The actors need to create their own characters,” she said.”

“It’s a real problem in women’s lives.” ‘The Face of Horror’ Courtesy TIFF Following 2007’s “Viva” and 2016’s “The Love Witch,” Biller’s third feature relocates the famous Japanese ghost story “ Yotsuya Kaidan ” to 14th-century England, where Kristine Froseth plays Eleanor: a pure-hearted woman whose clandestine marriage to a handsome knight (Jonah Hauer-King) becomes a waking nightmare.”
““I feel like I want film to heighten what we need to look at or what we need to pay attention to.” Beauty and blood tell us where to look in “The Face of Horror,” and Biller’s commitment to creating “dignity for female characters” informs both.”
“Is it a Midnight Madness film?’ Well, it’s always going to fall into something like Midnight Madness because they’re afraid to take it seriously because of the color.”
““I thought if I couldn’t get this made, I would just stop.” ‘Viva’ (2007) Instead, she expanded with her most ambitious tale yet.”
“Alongside the tortured Eleanor is her devoted sister, Beatrice (Ellie Bamber), whom Biller calls the “final girl” of the film.”
“After “The Love Witch,” Biller said, “Everybody was such a fan and said they thought I was such a genius and that they wanted to work with me on something else.”
“On “The Love Witch,” Biller spent more than two years drafting patterns and sewing costumes herself because she couldn’t afford a costume team.”
