If a bloodsucking scene in Lili Reinhart's new horror comedy looks a little too real, there's a good reason for that.
During a sequence in "Forbidden Fruits" (in theaters March 27) where Victoria Pedretti slices her finger with a box cutter, Reinhart suggested that her witch character taste the blood. What she didn't realize was Pedretti had cut herself for real.
"I was like, 'That tasted weirdly iron-y. That tasted like blood. Weird,' " Reinhart, 29, remembers. "And then the fake blood goes away, and slowly, the real blood starts to rise to the surface. I'm like, 'Oh. I just drank your blood.' "
Reinhart was quickly assured by a medic that there was nothing to be concerned about, and she now jokes there is "a blood bond between us that can't be broken."
