“If you’re into horror, you’ll love it to death.I was reading a lot of the reviews, and everyone seems to be talking about this scene at the end,” the General Hospital star told ABC Soaps in Depth in an interview. “Director Ryuhei Kitamura’s music is just badass. It’s operatic. The way they shot it and produced it, it is out of this world!”
For Maurice, this is a good change of pace because he actually plays one of the good guys in this movie. He also said, “I’ve played cops and Mafia guys. This guy is different. He’s a priest and a good guy, so it’s a different energy. I’m not playing a bad guy or Sonny, where I go in and say, ‘Yo, I’ll kick your ass, man!’” If that weren’t enough, the film also stars Mark Grossman, who many fans will recognize as Adam Newman from The Young and the Restless. We can’t wait to see it!
