Lily-Rose Depp has said one of her father's films 'traumatized' her.

Lily-Rose is one of two of Johnny Depp's children, whom he shares with ex Vanessa Paradis.

The 25-year-old has followed in her father's acting footsteps and has starred in the likes of The King, The Idol, Voyagers, and Silent Night.

Her new movie, Nosferatu, hit cinemas in the US on Christmas Day and has already received critical acclaim.

Lily-Rose stars as Ellen Hutter in the horror remake, with Nicholas Hoult, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin, and Bill Skarsgård also starring in the highly anticipated film.

While Lily-Rose has carved out of own acting career in recent years, she's long been in the spotlight being the daughter of one of the world's most famous actors.

Like most people, Lily-Rose doesn't remember much about her childhood, but there's one 'difficult' memory that has always stuck with her.

The memory in question is when she watched one of her father's movies at the age of three.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar, the actor recalled seeing Edward Scissorhands and said: "I was traumatised by it. Not because I thought he was scary, but because everyone was being so mean to him and I got really upset."

Lily-Rose found the ending in particular distressing, so much so she's refused to watch it ever since.

Talking about the moment the townsfolk turn on Edward, Depp's daughter said: "I remember being petrified by that, which is weird, because I don’t have many memories from when I was that young."

"It’s a difficult childhood memory," Lily-Rose continued.

"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?"

The original Nosferatu was released in 1922 and was reportedly so scary that some countries banned it, according to Lily-Rose - something she said was 'really cool'.

To this day, the silent horror boasts a 97 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, the new adaption has an 85 percent score at the time of writing.

One Guardian reviewer hailed Lily-Rose as 'the dark heart of Robert Eggers’s extraordinary vampire tale', while The Independent said the 25-year-old's performance was 'magnificent' and gave the film five stars.

Elsewhere the BBC gave the remake 4/5 stars ahead of Nosferatu's UK release on New Year's Day.

Nosferatu is now available to watch in cinemas worldwide.
