Logan Lerman Talks Comparisons Between 'Misery' & His New Movie 'Oh Hi'

Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman are ready for the world to see their new movie Oh, Hi!

The co-stars hit the red carpet together at the L.A. special screening on Tuesday night (July 9) at AMC The Grove 14 in Los Angeles.

They were joined on the carpet by co-star Geraldine Viswanathan and writer-director Sophie Brooks, as well as a cardboard cut-out of co-star John Reynolds.

Co-written by Molly and Sophie, Oh, Hi! follows Iris and Isaac’s first romantic weekend getaway, which goes awry in a most unexpected way. When they find a secret closet filled with sex toys, Isaac becomes the one tied up with handcuffs. But when Iris finds out that he’s not feeling the same about their relationship, she keeps him tied up for over 12 hours.

The movie has drawn comparisons to the classic film Misery, which they reacted to on the red carpet.

“Misery is like one of my top 10 favorite movies ever — it’s a perfect movie, I watch it every year. But it isn’t Misery, it’s its own movie; it takes a left turn and has something to say but it’s very different from that. But there’s obvious inspiration,” Logan told THR.

Molly said, “We bow down to Stephen King; this is totally its own thing, but I think we’re so inspired by the idea of like obsession and the humor in horror. Though this isn’t a horror movie and she doesn’t physically hurt anyone, [we were] very inspired by Kathy Bates’ freedom in that movie.”

Oh, Hi! hits theaters on July 25. Watch the trailer here!
