Milly Shapiro’s reallife incident makes it to her horror movie
Actor Milly Shapiro had to recreate a moment from her life for horror film Hereditary.
“The thing that I was most worried about was the allergic reaction scene. But I actually had that type of an allergic reaction before, because I’m highly-allergic to red ants,” Shapiro reveals.
“I was, like, five or six, so I had an experience with it, which I thought was absolutely hilarious, that I was going to have to act that. But I was really nervous because I thought that I would get it wrong. I was just worried.
“Everyone was really great with helping me through it and filmmaker Ari Aster and I worked together to get the perfect breathing and action for it. I was really nervous for that,” the 15-year-old adds.
Hereditary tells the harrowing story of a family tragedy that veers into the realm of the supernatural that the Graham family starts to unravel following the death of their reclusive grandmother.
Even after she is gone, the matriarch still casts a dark shadow over the family, especially her teenage granddaughter, Charlie, whom she always had an unusual fascination with.
