Dacre Montgomery, popularly known for his villainous role in Stranger Things as Billy Hargrove aka Max’s stepbrother, is set to be a lead role in a new upcoming horror movie, Went Up the Hill. It would seem that his character as Jack in this new film is not that far behind his initial role as Billy, seeing as both have become affiliated with otherworldly creatures.
