## Resource

This time around, Charlotte Kirk and Zach McGowan , the stars of Neil Marshall 's new erotic thriller, Compulsion join this episode of the Movies In Focus podcast. Co-starring Anna-Maria Sieklucka , Compulsion delivers a throwback punch, homaging the shadowy style of Italian giallo and the sleazy vibe of 80s and 90s erotic thrillers. Kirk and McGowan discuss what drew them to its dark, complex characters and the film’s tightly wound, high-stakes narrative. The pair dive into the challenges and rewards of working on a film loaded with moral - and both Kirk and McGowan talk about working with Neil Marshall - and the intensity of Compulsion ’s bloodiest sequence.
