10 Actors Who Just Gave Their Best Performance In A Horror Movie

9. Heather Graham - Suitable Flesh

Heather Graham is a rock solid actress though certainly not one with a bevy of stand-out performances to her name - not that there's anything wrong with that.

And while Graham's star profile had faded considerably by the 2010s, she rebounded totally out of nowhere by starring in the 2023 horror film Suitable Flesh from the great Joe Lynch (Hatchet).

Graham gives an impressively go-for-broke performance as Dr. Elizabeth Derby, a psychiatrist who ends up ensnared in a mind-bending body-swapping ritual. 

Given that other characters swap into Elizabeth's body throughout the film, Graham is tasked with delivering a wild, multi-faceted, even quite literally schizophrenic performance, these swaps requiring Graham to switch acting gears at a moment's notice.

And it's a sure understatement to say that she merely rises to the occasion - this is the most daring and provocative work of Graham's entire career, proving the full extent of her acting chops and making it abundantly clear what she's capable of with a suitably unhinged script. More of this, please.
