Satanic Panic is a dream role for actress Rebecca Romijn

Rebecca Romijn stars in the new Fangoria horror-comedy film, Satanic Panic. According to an interview she did with NY Post, the role was a dream for her.

Rebecca Romijn is a former model and accomplished actress who you might recognize best as Mystique from the early live-action X-Men films or from her leading role in the TNT series The Librarians. But her idea of a dream role has always been something in the horror genre. That dream finally came true with a new horror-comedy film, Satanic Panic.

“I am a lifelong horror and gore fan,” Romijn says in a new interview with the New York Post. Additionally, the interview sheds light on Romijn’s role in the movie. She plays the leader of a satan-worshipping cult who attempts to make a poor pizza girl into a sacrifice.

One of our writers, Tiffany Aleman, attended an early screening of the movie. Read her full review here. It’s a fun dark comedy film and Romijn shines in the role.

Romijn’s reputation didn’t allow her for the genre experimentation she always desired. Getting the role in Satanic Panic was a big deal for her. She also talks about learning an ancient pagan dialect for the film in her NY Post interview.

Could we see Romijn make a turn in her career and become a modern-day Scream Queen? Personally, I think she would make a great one. She has the charisma and motivation to take risks you need to succeed in the horror genre.

Plus, Satanic Panic gave her an opportunity to work with her long-time husband, Jerry O’Connell. They only get one scene together in the movie but it is a memorable one. If you haven’t gotten around to watching the movie yet, I highly recommend it. It’s great for anyone who likes a hearty dose of humor in between the blood splatters.

As for a potential return to the world of Marvel, Romijn wrapped her interview by saying she could one day return but it wouldn’t be as special as it once was.
