AN actress is already starting her second project just weeks after her first film proved a success.

Rebecca Watts is now working on Fight the Eternal Evil, in which she will play the villain.

She has already featured in horror film Demons, which is out on DVD and Blu-ray.

Both films come from Suffolk- based Martello Films, run by writer and director, Michael Munn.

Miss Watts, 29, from Drake Gardens, Braintree, said: “I started working with them in October and it’s been really good.

“I have never been part of a horror film before- it doesn’t seem scary until you watch it back with the effects and lighting, it makes it really creepy.

“I also never get cast as a villain so it’s quite nice to be the bad guy and take part in choreographed fight scenes- I’m usually the girl next door.”

She started acting when she was four years old and trained in theatre at the University of Ulster and West Virginia University.

Mr Munn said: “We were lucky to find Rebecca for the role in Demons after the first actress had to pull out.

“For her role in Demons, Rebecca braved cold nights running down lanes in Essex and through woods in Suffolk wearing night - clothes and a top coat in scenes depicting her attempted escape from whatever it she believes wants to kill her.

“It was freezing, but Rebecca performed with consummate professionalism. She was a joy to work with so when I was casting Fight the Eternal Evil I had no hesitation in casting her.”

In Demons Rebecca plays a bride-to-be on her way to her hen party with three friends who break down and end up spending the night at the only house for miles, where a reclusive writer lives.

The company releases its own films, so actors and actresses get a chance on the big screen.

They have spent this month shooting for Fight the Eternal Evil.

The latest film will be released early next year.
