15 Recent Performances That Were Criminally Underrated

In Fox Searchlight's majorly entertaining horror comedy, Samara Weaving immediately cemented herself as one of the greatest scream queens of the 21st century. She fully commits to the story of the film, portraying the wide range of emotions Grace experiences with total confidence and capability.

Her performance is charming, funny, sweet, scary, and badass all in one. She almost certainly has a very bright future in film ahead of her, and this will likely become one of her most revered performances whenever she gets her due.
