The Strangers: Prey At Night director Johannes Roberts says actress Christina Hendricks wanted to do all the trauma scenes in the horror film.

The film, a sequel to 2008's The Strangers revolves around a family's road trip which takes a dangerous turn when they reach a secluded mobile home park to stay with some relatives. They are attacked by three masked psychopaths and is about how the family tries to survive the episode. 

"The actors in the film are phenomenal and I feel lucky, Christina was the first one to sign on and she was just the massive fan of the first one," says Johannes Roberts. 

"She just wanted to do the all the trauma and that was what it was all about her and she was great, she just freaked herself out actually in one scene," he adds. 

The Strangers: Prey at Night also stars Bailee Madison, Martin Henderson, and Lewis Pullman. The film releases today in India.
