"It doesn't want you in it. And it keeps shape-shifting," said Seyfried. "Yeah, no, no thanks. I do not feel feel welcome! It was a little more comfortable behind-the-scenes but it's bizarre. I've never seen a house like that."

"When she focuses, she focuses in an almost scary way," said Seyfried.
