“Taissa is terrified of scary movies,” says Chaves. “We had to twist her arm to see this movie. We were like, ‘Are you going to see it?’ And she’s so afraid of those movements and I’m like, ‘You’re in it! You were there in almost every frame of the movie.’ She saw the movie and she liked the movie, just to be clear.”
