10 Actors Starring In Horror Movies In 2025
2. Tatiana Maslany - The Monkey
Longlegs director Osgood Perkins' new comedy-horror The Monkey looks like an absolute blast, and while it won't be the first foray into horror for star Theo James, it does mark a new frontier for its female lead, the brilliant Tatiana Maslany.
Though Maslany appeared in a number of horror films much earlier in her career - the likes of Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed, Stir of Echoes: The Homecoming, The Messengers, and Diary of the Dead - she's largely steered clear of the genre since blowing up in sci-fi thriller series Orphan Black.
But the actress will play a prominent part in The Monkey, appearing in flashbacks as twins Hal and Bill's (Theo James) mother Lois, who going from what fresh hell we've seen in the trailers, seems to die a horrible death while bleeding from her eyes.
It evidently turned out to be a positive experience for the actress, though, as she's already shot another horror film with Perkins - Keeper, which is also due out by year's end.
The Monkey releases on February 21.
