“I also enjoy watching the show ‘Scream’ because I always love a good mystery and scare!”

“I have a lot of admiration for ‘The Witch.’ Everything about it — the cinematography, storyline, the performances — it’s so high quality and so beautifully done,” Ortega mused. “I think that’s a movie I thought about for weeks after I watched it. It just never gets old.”

“Oh my god, I’d never seen anything like that before. That movie just gave me chills all over,” Ortega said. “There’s certain shots where the two main characters’ faces are split, and I just…It’s incredible.”

“That was pretty exciting because I was working with James Wan who seemed to be doing every horror film at the time that was performing successfully at the box office,” Ortega reflected to Entertainment Weekly in March 2022. “At that time in my career, though, I was just happy to be there.”

“I really love ‘Possession.’ It was actually a recommendation from Mikey Madison, on the ‘Scream’ set,” Ortega told Rotten Tomatoes. “Not only is it hauntingly beautiful, but also unlike anything I’d ever seen before. I love watching a film and getting some kind of adrenalin out of it — that’s when I feel it’s done its job, when a film inspires you and gives you a bunch of ideas.”
