Twilight Saga star Ashley Greene is feeling pretty immortal these days. The 23-year-old took time during last week’s South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas to take a big smelly shit on the horror genre, insisting that her appearance in Dark Castle Entertainment’s The Apparition—::cough:: Paranormal Activity::cough—has elevated the film to new heights of cinematic genius.

She tells Cinematical:

It’s a psychological thriller that centers around these two characters, Kelly and Ben, who are played by myself and Sebastian Stan. We play a couple who are haunted by a supernatural force and we have to figure out what this thing wants. I definitely learned a lot of things about myself while filming this.

I was terrified, and as far as just being vulnerable and sad and hurt, and strong… it’s not a horror film; we want it to be elevated and scary along the lines of Poltergeist, so I definitely didn’t want Kelly to be one of those scared, dumb girls in a horror movie. So we all worked together, it’s been a huge collaboration in making these characters really smart.

I spoke with the director and producers to see exactly how they wanted to go about the film. The fact that it’s as far away from that mainstream horror film as you can get kind of relaxed me, because I wanted to be a part of it but I didn’t want to be in a horror film, so it worked out.

I certainly think Twilight has given me a lot of opportunities and it’s put me in a position and enabled me to be able to say, no, I don’t want to do that film, and I’m not going to do that, and I am going to do this. I’m in a very good position.

I’m looking forward to seeing what positions Greene will be in after the last Twilight films have come and gone. I predict something like this. Anyway, you don’t need to be a member of Mensa to enjoy Greene’s boobies.

The Apparition is currently shooting in Los Angeles. The film costars Harry Potter’s Tom Felton and  Julianna Guill, aka the topless chick from the recent Friday the 13th remake.
