Riley Jean, a fan favorite adult film star is the newest guest on Dr. Gore Movie Reviews. In the interview she shares her deep love of the horror genre, especially body horror, killer clowns, possessions and ghosts.
Gore met Jean in Hollywood at this year’s Heaven and Hell Halloween bash, hosted by award-winning adult film director Will Ryder, and saw the young star’s enthusiasm “amp up to eleven when asked about horror.”
“It became clear very quickly that Riley Jean goes to extremes when it comes to what horror she enjoys. Our conversation bounced from the insane freakishness of A Serbian Film, to how Martyrs was a ‘light movie'(!).”
Gore, a self-described “serious B-movie fan with a leaning toward the sordid and the sleazy,” launched his horror and exploitation movie review site in 2005 – a place where many indie filmmakers found the very first review of their work and participated in the thriving comments section.
In the Dr. Gore’s interview, Riley Jean reveals that her horror favorites include, The Guinea Pig series; the A Nightmare on Elm Street films (“Those were the first movies to genuinely scare me and those, and the Saw movies, are what really ignited my love for horror. Freddy Krueger has something the other horror icons don’t, and that’s humor,”); and the Art The Clown gore-fests (“Art the Clown is a fairly new face to the horror game and I love his movies so much. I remember when I first stumbled across him and being so interested because he was very much an underground horror character, ([2013’s] All Hallows’ Eve), and I loved that. And then Terrifier blew up years later and he became so much more . . . it’s been so fun to watch happen. I can’t wait for Terrifier 3 and all of Art’s creative, bloody antics.)”
Highlights of the interview include a discussion of the highly controversial A Serbian Film. Jean recalled, “When I was shown this movie I had no idea what it was and the next thing you know I’m seeing some of the most insane, vile shit I’ve ever seen. I think at first I was very angry about the movie and that’s why I was so obsessed with learning why the hell anyone in their right mind would make something like that. Once I learned more about it, I quickly started to love the movie. It’s a political metaphor and reflection of the director’s feelings towards the state of Serbia and its politics.. It’s also meant to be a shock film. It’s not meant to be good or to even be mediocre, it’s meant to shock you. And that’s exactly what it does.”
