Phil "CM Punk" Brooks on slasher films, misogyny, and returning to the ring
For many, Phil “CM Punk” Brooks is a wrestling legend, a guy whose 434 day reign as WWE champion dominated the 2010s. He retired from wrestling in 2014, though, and has been putting some of his dramatic in-ring skills to good use in another entertainment realm. As the star of The Girl On The Third Floor, Brooks has been garnering rave reviews for his portrayal of Don, a misogynist ex-con who is off attempting to renovate a cursed home before his wife has their first child. Don says he’s on the straight-and-narrow now, but quickly gets in his own way, much to the dismay of whoever—or whatever—haunts the house he’s attempting to rehab.
