THE FIX: THIS IS THE KINDEST SET I'VE EVER BEEN - VAN DIEN
Hollywood stars rave about Cape

I love Cape Town; what a beautiful place to call home while filming," says Grace van Dien, who played Chrissy in Stranger Things 4. The actress was in the city to film action-packed local film The Fix, which premieres on Showmax on Halloween.

Van Dien, who is currently at #212 on IMDb's STARmeter, singles out South Africa's people as one of its biggest selling points.

"This was the kindest set I've ever been on in my life; I feel very lucky to have been surrounded by such a loving cast and crew."

She also loved the nightlife.

"We went dancing once and my face hurt from how much I smiled that night."

Set in a dystopian future Cape Town with toxic air, The Fix stars Van Dien as a model who takes a new designer drug at a party and suffers a shocking transformation.

Pursued by forces with competing interests in the drug's effects, Ella discovers that her mutations could save the human race.

Van Dien's comments about Cape Town are echoed by her co-star Daniel Sharman, who played Troy in Fear The Walking Dead and Isaac in Teen Wolf.
