## Resource

Tony chats with directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen to dig into the twisted, darkly comedic world of Villains—their breakout thriller starring Bill Skarsgård, Maika Monroe, and Jeffrey Donovan. What begins as a simple home invasion spirals into a surreal nightmare when two amateur criminals stumble into a secret their victims will do anything to protect.
