Meet the Cast: The Charming Yet Ominous Castevet
Fans of the original film will recognize the Castevets, the seemingly benign neighbors with a dark secret. Terry, the character portrayed by Garner, is a familiar figure from Polanski’s film, known as an ex-junkie taken under the Castevets’ dubious care. Their facade of kindness masks their true identity as fervent satanists, setting the stage for dark rituals and eerie occurrences.
