The Addams Family.
Samantha said: "Having been thoroughly captivated by the novel, the
opportunity to take on a role like this is incredibly exciting. I’ve been
fascinated by thrillers for a long time and this kind of storytelling, like
Hitchcock’s Rear Window, offers us a
voyeurs journey into a world which is dangerous and full of suspense.”
