Eve: Why New Horror Movie Animal Was a Dream Come True

Rapper-actress admits her throat "definitely hurt" after the shoot

If you're looking to get a wedding gift for Eve, you should consider a collection of horror movies.

Seriously.

"Horror is my favorite genre," the rapper-actress told me exclusively during a pre-wedding break to promote her horror movie debut, Animal (out in theaters and available on VOD tomorrow, June 17). "It's the best. I'm the kind of person that loves being scared, so to be able to be in a movie that I'm screaming in is the best."

Animal, produced by Drew Barrymore and co-starring Keke Palmer, Amaury Nolasco, Parker Young and Joey Lauren Adams, follows a group of friends as they're pursued in the forest by nasty-looking predator with dozens of blood-covered razor sharp teeth.

Eve got to scream in the movie—a lot!

"My throat definitely hurt," she said. "What made me go for it and scream like crazy was I thought, 'If I don't commit to the scream, it's going to sound really horrible and really fake.' So I just went for it."

Her favorite horror films include the original Rosemary's Baby, Halloween and Friday the 13th.

Of more recent flicks, she said, "I love the Paranormal stuff."

A few days after we spoke, Eve married British designer and Gumball 3000 founder Maximillion Cooper in Ibiza, Spain.

"I'm so happy to make Eve my wife," Cooper told E! News exclusively on Saturday. "The whole experience has been amazing and we are both so happy to have tied the knot."

"We met on the 2010 Gumball 3000 rally, so it only seemed right to have the wedding at the finish of this years rally in Ibiza, which was the final stop on this years event," he said. "We couldn't be happier to celebrate such a special day with all our family and friends."
