Lily-Rose Depp, currently starring in Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu," revealed that Tim Burton's "Edward Scissorhands" - featuring her father Johnny Depp - traumatized her as a child. In a Harper's Bazaar UK interview, she expressed that her distress came not from fear of the character, but from witnessing the community's cruel treatment of Edward.

The 25-year-old actress particularly recalls being affected by the scene where neighbors force Edward to leave their community. "I got really upset," Depp explained, noting how this memory remains vivid despite having few other recollections from that age. She hasn't rewatched the film since her childhood viewing.

Drawing parallels between her current role and her father's iconic character, Depp reflected on the complexity of sympathetic villains. "Edward's the good guy and Nosferatu's kind of the bad guy, but there's a part of me that feels a little bit of empathy for Nosferatu. I mean, am I sick for feeling that way?" she pondered.

Now starring in "Nosferatu," Depp's performance has garnered significant critical acclaim, potentially marking a defining moment in her career, similar to her father's role in "Edward Scissorhands." While the latter disturbed her for its emotional content, "Nosferatu" stands as the more traditionally frightening film of the two.
