Samara Weaving is a modern scream queen.
Samara Weaving has carved out a niche for herself in Hollywood as an A-list scream queen by appearing in several recent acclaimed horror movies, including 2024's Azrael. After eight years as an actor, Weaving entered the horror genre with 2017's The Babysitter. Although she has landed dramatic roles in award-winning movies like 2017's Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and 2022's Babylon, much of Weaving's filmography involves the horror and thriller genre.
6 The Babysitter: Killer Queen Samara Weaving as Bee Reprising her role from the first installment in 2017, Weaving returned as Bee in the horror comedy The Babysitter: Killer Queen. Set two years after the original, this film sees new characters resurrect members of a satanic cult and protagonist Cole must again be the hero.
4 Mayhem Samara Weaving as Melanie Cross Released just one month after Weaving's horror movie debut in The Babysitter, Mayhem sees her portray a completely different character. This film blends the scares with action and comedy and takes place at a consulting firm when a virus breaks out that sends everyone into a violent rage. Weaving plays Melanie Cross, a desperate woman who gets denied help on her loan and teams with recently fired employee Derek to get revenge.
Samara Weaving shines in the lead role, and proves that even a few years into her horror career, she's at the top of her game as a final girl and scream queen. McG's direction was praised while Weaving managed to make Bee both charming and sinister. Although changes were made to the original Babysitter script, it was still lauded for the gore and action left behind. Bee is an interesting role for Weaving to take on as she must balance the villainous side of the character with the sweet side that somewhat genuinely cares for Judah.
