Williams portrays troubled musical prodigy Charlotte opposite Logan Browning' cellist Elizabeth in Richard Shepard's horror-thriller, which starts streaming this Friday on Netflix.

It was a tough film for the Connecticut-born Yale grad to screen for her famous father - MSNBC chief anchor Brian Williams - who's known to watch the 2003 rom-com Love Actually 'several times a year.'

After her rifle-toting diabolical character in Get Out and all those gratuitous love scenes in HBO's Girls, Allison joked that she owes the 60-year-old 11th Hour host something easier to watch.

'I think I owe [my parents] like a movie where I'm a puppy wrangler. And nothing really happens. I just wrangle puppies for an entire 90 minutes,' Williams told Today.

'I'm already crafting those ideas in my brain. There's something deeply wrong here that I need to work through.'

The Patrick Melrose guest star explained that being so closely associated with her Girls character only made it more surprising for the audience watching her in Get Out.

'In The Perfection, we're sort of assuming you're coming into with all the emotional hangover of Get Out,' Allison noted on the NBC morning talk show. 

'When you see me onscreen, you're not supposed to trust me and that's okay.'
