In V/H/S/Beyond, the latest installment in the found footage anthology series, genre icon Kate Siegel makes her directorial debut with the final segment “Stowaway”, which stars game developer Alannah Pearce as a woman searching for the truth. And that truth just so happens to be aliens. But when she does find out the truth, things start going spectacularly wrong for her.

What starts as a slower examination of a woman with an obsession becomes a horrific cosmic horror nightmare the likes of which you’ve never seen, at least in a V/H/S/ movie.

We spoke with Pearce over Zoom about the joys of working with Kate Siegel, her special butt fan, and her experience with prosthetics…

    This was the best segment of the bunch, and among other fun gems no less. It showed skilled blending of conspiracy tropes with fresh takes on cosmic elements. I hope we see more from Alanah in the horror genre soon, she was a good fit.

      Fun is the word I’d use for the whole package, and definitely agree on this being the best one. The ending of this segment was very cool.

    Stoked for this! V/H/S/ has had an interesting evolution with Alien segments. V/H/S/ 1 had kids with bags on their heads (The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger), then V/H/S/ 2 really stepped it up with dogo cam (Slumber Party Alien Abduction).
