Other stars of the thriller include Charlie Carrick, who plays her boyfriend Simon in the film, and Kaniehtiio Horn along with Wunmi Mosaku.
Speaking recently to People about the film, Anna explained what prompted her to take on the role of Alice.
“I came from a personal experience of emotional abuse and psychological abuse,” she told the publication. “I think my rep sent it to me because he knew what I was dealing with and sent it to me.”

“I got in the wrong elevator at the wrong time,” Anna later joked while in the photo and video studio for People and Entertainment Weekly at TIFF.
‘I escaped. Some nice Canadian firefighters let me crawl out of the hatch at the top. But yes, there were seven of us in an elevator just waiting to be rescued by the fire department. It was so absurd that it happened on a film press tour that it just seemed so weird,” she added.
“I couldn’t stop joking. Although, maybe that’s a defense mechanism. Come on, Anna. do you know something about yourself I think that was probably a defense mechanism. Oh no I’m not healthy!” she said.
She also filmed the incident and her rescue, which she shared with her fans and followers on her main Instagram page.
