Molly Gordon Says She Didn't Want 'Oh, Hi!' To Be a Horror Movie
Molly Gordon is explaining why she didn’t initially write Oh, Hi! to be a horror movie.
The 29-year-old star and co-writer of the movie appeared on a recent episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers where she talked about the movie.
Oh, Hi! follows as Iris and Isaac, played by Molly and Logan Lerman, go on a romantic getaway. Things take an uncomfortable twist when the two of them realize that they each had a different vision of where their relationship stood. Instead of going their separate ways, Iris makes the decision to hold Isaac hostage until she can convince him to see things her way.
Although this movie is a nightmare for many couples, Molly says it wasn’t supposed to be a horror movie.

Late Night host Seth Meyers compared the movie to the classic Stephen King film Misery.
Meanwhile, Molly said she doesn’t see the film that way.
“It’s interesting. We were discussing that it’s such a dark time [in the industry], but horror’s kind of the only thing that’s working,” Molly said on the talk show. “But yeah, people would go, ‘I love the movie, but can she kill him at the end?’ But it’s like, when you think of When Harry Met Sally, what if Meg Ryan just killed him at the end? I want some just romantic movies, does there have to be death always?”
If you missed it, Logan also recently talked about Oh, Hi! being compared to Misery.
