Misha Reeves is devilishly good in comedy horror

How far can one performance carry a movie? This is a question that comes up often. Many times, a middling film can be made so much more thanks to one actor. Val has a very strong cast, but Reeves is the clear stand out here. She is perfectly case in the titular role. She is smart, a badass, and always knows exactly what to say.

HAUS of CREEP

“Clarissa, played by Misha Reeves Bybee (who has literally been in every JFI production, including Ma’s House and American Horror Story: 1984), is manic, wild, and as the cracks begin to show, she becomes wonderfully frightening and exciting. And finally, Rosay (Joshua Rivas) is the star of the evening, unveiling her living art in an effort to showcase distributing, raw, and savage art. Her layered character is one of the most fun to probe and play with.”
