Actors Who Never Recovered From Their Most Distressing Roles

Maika Monroe in It Follows

Maika Monroe starred as Jay Height in the critically acclaimed horror film It Follows. Although the acress grew up immersed in the world of horror, she couldn't have predicted just how draining it was to be part of such a production. "It was a very difficult shoot," she said. "Every day was another battle to face just in terms of acting and the screaming and crying and running. All of that every day is very tiresome."

Monroe added that the crew would shoot through the night for 12 hours straight in "very creepy" locations, noting specifically how hard it was for her to endure the wheelchair scene, which took place on the last day of filming.
