As the dark nature of the house reveals itself to the woman, shes stalked by Wolfhards super-creepy adolescent.

As the production went on, I became more involved and it became way more fun for me.

He has a rough childhood.

He has dead parents.

He likes to kill animals.

And Im like, I dont know.

Its kind of been all a coincidence.

I can be versatile.

It just so happens that its been horror.

WithStranger Things, I think the Duffers are pretty good at writing teenagers cause theyre like teenagers at heart.

They were like, Great, thats what youre going to do.

The Duffer brothers let me come to set after school every single day and just watch them direct.

Shawn Levy, too.

What did you learn from Deakins?I dont really know how to describe his working.

He doesnt really say a lot of things.

Theyre all, like, connected through telepathy.

Roger Deakins and his team are like a hive mind.

They just know exactly what they need at all the times.

Roger is just like, Camera.

Then all of a sudden it just appears and youre like, Holy shit!

And its perfectly framed!

What I learned from him was communication and just the love of it.

He is a really selfless person, and amazing to work with.

What does filmmaker Finn want to do then?I love comedy so much.

Id be interested in making a horror movie.

I love all kinds of genres.

Thats why I do this, to make friends and we can just play off of each other.

Like, I love everythingthe Safdie brothersare doing.

Thats where I want to be in life.
