A dangerous battle of wits ensues as Jack races against the clock to get the money and save his wife, while avoiding the detectives now on his trail. Will he make it in time?

We talked with actress, Candace Kita, about the movie.

Horror News Network: How did you get involved in The Coffin?

Candace Kita: Kipp Tribble, the director, contacted my manager directly. He saw me in other projects and I'm always so thankful for direct bookings, thanks Kipp!

Horror News Network: Tell us a bit about your character, Camille.

Candace Kita: Without giving away the plot, Camille is a drunken woman who's behavior allows the bad guy to get away from the protagonist. This is actually the second time I've played a drunk woman. The first time was on the series finale of Nip Tuck. I didn't know how to do a shot so Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon had to show me how. I don't even drink!

Horror News Network: How long were you on the set?

Candace Kita: We did night shoots, so every night we arrived at 8:30pm and usually wrapped at 6am. At this point, day becomes night and vice-versa. Try going to bed at noon with the sun shining on your face. It isn't easy.

Horror News Network: Is horror a passion of yours?

Candace Kita: The horror genre is my personal favorite. But then again, I was the kid who read coroner books for fun as a kid.

Horror News Network: What horror movies stand out as your favorites?

Candace Kita:Rosemary's Baby, The Shining, The Hellraiser series, Let The Right One In and my recent favorite is The Audition. If you haven't seen it, you have to check it out. I also might be working with an AMAZING director, Mziah, in the future. His work reflects a very stylized, avant guarde way of looking at the horror genre.

Horror News Network: Where can readers find out more information on you?

Candace Kita: Thanks for asking, I'm in the process of completely overhauling my website, www.candacekita.com. And I also have pages on My Space, Facebook and Twitter although I don't run those personally.

Horror News Network: In closing, what would you like to say to our readers about the Coffin?

Candace Kita: When I first read Coffin, I sat down to read a few chapters. I ended up getting sucked in right away and read the whole script in one sitting. There is a funky plot twist very reminiscent of the old Twilight Zone episodes that I think you will enjoy!
