Rose Leslie, known for playing the wild Ygritte in HBO’s Game of Thrones as well as Gwen Dawson in Downton Abbey, is taking a spooky turn with her new starring role in the twisty horror movie Honeymoon, set for release on Sept. 12.

Leslie is no stranger to on-screen nudity, but one scene from Honeymoon in particular was even too graphic for her standards. “Oh god! The most difficult scene… someone in a previous interview called it was ‘the birth,’ ” Leslie told uInterview of her most graphic scene.

But the film offers much more than just a good gross out. “The film is about seeing those cracks slowly begin to appear in what is seemingly a very strong relationship in the beginning,” Leslie told uInterview. “What I found to be particularly interesting was to see that desolation between the two of them and the misplaced trust and the sort of crosswires that they have and that there’s a proper lack of communication. So that enabled me to portray a slow transformation without just going from one end to the other.”
