"The face and all of the details and the voice," she said. "And also when you're shooting in such a precise manner and doing a lot of takes, you end up feeling like you're in this time warp loop with this demon. I was like, 'Oh my god, what is happening?'"The actress said that working on "Nosferatu" came with its challenges, including the fake blood used in some scenes."The eye blood was a lot for me," she said.
