Actress Tara Basro admits that she is not really into horror movies. "I don't hate horror movies. I know there are a lot of well - made horror movies but I don't have the guts to watch them, " the 27 - year - old actress said in an interview in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
However, she stars in the current No. 1 horror film in Indonesia, Pengabdi Setan, directed by the visionary auteur Joko Anwar.
While shooting the film in an old house in Bandung, Indonesia, Tara kept her mind occupied on the role instead of thinking of scary stuff.
"I didn't have the chance to think about weird things because I was focusing on my work. Having the production team for company also helped. Thank God, I wasn't there when all the weird stuff was happening, " she said.
Overcoming fear is a recurring theme in Tara's blossoming acting career and the actress will never tell anyone that she is too scared to do anything. From doing high - flying stunts to putting on weight for her roles, there is nothing the award - winning Indonesian actress won't do in the name of art.
