"Michelle and Melissa Macedo Talk New Horror Film Thinestra, Twin Comparisons and More"
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Michelle and her twin sister Melissa sat down ahead of Thinestra's world premiere at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain to talk about one of the most personal and daring projects of their careers.
In the film, Michelle plays Penny — a woman quietly at war with her own reflection, whose struggle with body dysmorphia and a dangerous weight loss drug causes her to literally birth an evil doppelgänger, played by Melissa. The sisters spoke candidly about the emotional weight of inhabiting those roles, the importance of showing up for each other on set during such challenging material, and what they hope audiences take away from the story.
For Michelle, the film's message is deeply human: "Would I say that to my best friend? No." She hopes viewers recognize the harshness of their own inner voices — and walk away choosing to be a little kinder to themselves.
Thinestra uses the language of horror to explore body image, diet culture, and the quiet violence of self-criticism — and this interview captures exactly why Michelle and Melissa were the only two people who could have made it.

💫“Ghost Town” emerged from a really difficult time. It’s a reflection and exploration of the ghosts that we all have and the ways in which we are haunted by our past. This album is a reflection of memories that became a part of our identity. In essence, how we’re each being haunted, in good and bad ways. It was a very raw experience to write, there was no holding back.💫
