Stephen Colbert 06:57

It's not only one of the most terrifying movies I've ever seen, but... it is! I don't do the jumpscares well. And we might have watched some of it with the sound off... We might of muted a few moments of it. Ah, you know...

John Krasinski 07:13

You know, that's a huge compliment.

Stephen Colbert 07:15

You know what this film has? It has has heart. It does. It is actually a deeply moving story at the same time... How do you mesh those two I don't usually associate deeply moving human story and horror.

John Krasinski 07:32

You know, the funny thing is I actually learned that lesson from Greg Daniels on the office. It was like three weeks into shooting and I was so nervous for the scene. And he said, you okay? And I said yes... this is my favorite joke in the script and I want to make sure I deliver it really funny...

And he (Greg Daniels) said; whoa, you don't deliver anything funny. You just deliver it and let people decide whether it's funny or not. I said okay. And he said; you just do the character and if they fall in love with you, they'll go on any ride.

And I literally thought of him when they said direct a horror movie I was like I don't know how to do a horror movie. So instead I just did a family drama and Trojan horsed it as a horror movie because I thought you'll be more scared If you fall in love with these characters

Stephen Colbert 08:08

John Krasinski 08:10

What did you say after there's a critical moment when the children do things... Near the end of the film... And what did you say to me after that great moment?

Evie Colbert

"I turned to you and said 'John really loves his children.'"

John Krasinski

That's amazing!

Stephen Colbert

That's what Telegraph's: how much you love your kids…

John Krasinski 08:58
