Season 6, Episode 7: Interview with Lena Redford (Josie) from “Blood Barn” (2025)

Blood Barn proves that a loving tribute to horror's golden age can still feel fresh and visceral. It's a film that leans into its influences, serving up gloriously chaotic scenes that are as beautiful as they are bloody. At its heart, it respects the sacred horror trinity—sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll—using their condemnation as the engine for a story that perfectly balances bone-chilling fear with a throbbing, undeniable lust.

Join me as I sat down with the awesome Lena Redford and we spoke about her role as Josie in her feature length debut. We talked about how she approached playing the lead role that embraces the comedy-horror trope, how this movie compares to the Evil Dead, and what the atmosphere was like on set.

With her being the granddaughter of the late legendary actor Robert Redford, I have a lot of respect for her and how she is carrying on his legacy. For those that have not seen this movie, I highly recommend that you do… It is definitely a glorious melody to 1980s horror, and which has also earned the right to be a midnight popcorn movie.
