A thriller earns that 10/10 feeling when the first scene already knows what kind of pressure the movie is going to put on you. The story can be loud, quiet, violent, psychological, procedural, or strange. What matters is control. A great thriller keeps your attention without begging for it.

These ten picks all have that rare full-movie grip. The opening pulls you in, the middle never goes soft, and the ending leaves the movie feeling complete rather than merely finished. Some are built on dread. Some run on obsession. Some move with brutal precision. All ten understand that tension dies the second a film wastes the viewer’s trust.

‘Blue Ruin’ (2013)

Image via RADiUS-TWC

Blue Ruin opens with Dwight Evans (Macon Blair) living out of his car, and that first stretch says everything before the revenge plot even starts speaking loudly. He is a homeless drifter with a dirty beard, a hollow stare, and the nervous movements of someone who has been stuck in one terrible memory for years. When he learns that the man convicted of killing his parents is being released from prison, he returns to Virginia and tries to take justice into his own hands.

The genius of Blue Ruin is how badly Dwight fits the revenge-movie fantasy. He can pull a trigger, yet he has none of the cool control audiences expect from this genre. He panics, bleeds, improvises, hides, and keeps making the kind of mistakes a real person would make if grief pushed him into violence. The family feud around him keeps widening until revenge stops feeling empowering and starts feeling like a curse passed from one house to another. Its tension comes from watching someone chase payback with no talent for surviving it.

‘Prisoners’ (2013)

Image via Warner Bros.

Few modern thrillers make desperation feel as heavy as Prisoners. Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) is a Pennsylvania father whose young daughter Anna disappears with her friend Joy on Thanksgiving, and the investigation quickly centers on Alex Jones (Paul Dano), a mentally impaired man who was driving a suspicious RV. Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes the official path, following evidence, suspects, and buried connections, while Keller decides the law is moving too slowly for a parent running out of hope.

The film’s grip comes from how every choice feels uglier than the last. Keller’s decision to imprison and torture Alex is horrifying, yet Jackman keeps the pain close enough that the viewer understands the emotional trap without being asked to approve it. Loki’s blinking intensity, the rainy streets, the maze drawings, the priest’s basement, and that final whistle all keep the movie tightening from different directions. The title is perfect too, since almost everyone here is trapped by something: grief, guilt, faith, violence, or the need to believe suffering can force truth out of the dark.

8

‘The Fugitive’ (1993)

Image via Warner Bros.

Sometimes a thriller becomes perfect by being almost ridiculously clean in its storytelling. The Fugitive gives us Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford), a respected Chicago surgeon wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, then thrown into a manhunt after a prison transport crash gives him one chance to run. Deputy U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) leads the pursuit, and the movie becomes a masterclass in forward motion: Kimble has to prove his innocence while Gerard keeps closing in with terrifying competence.

The fun is that both men are smart. Kimble dyes his hair, sneaks into hospitals, follows medical clues, and tracks the one-armed man connected to his wife’s death. Gerard, meanwhile, turns every crime scene, mistake, and near-miss into another step forward. The dam jump, the hospital escape, the St. Patrick’s Day parade, and the final confrontation all have that old-school studio-thriller confidence where geography, stakes, and character are always clear. The Fugitive never has to fake urgency. It has a wronged man, a brilliant hunter, and a story that keeps running with perfect balance.

7

‘Gone Girl’ (2014)

Image via 20th Century Studios

The first time Gone Girl changes shape, the whole movie becomes nastier in hindsight. Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) comes home on his fifth wedding anniversary to find his wife Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike) missing, and the media quickly turns him into America’s favorite suspicious husband. At first, the film seems to be about a man trying to survive public judgment while police, neighbors, and viewers keep noticing the cracks in his story.

Then Amy steps into full view, and the movie becomes something colder, funnier, and far more vicious. Pike gives Amy the calm intelligence of someone who understands performance better than everyone watching her. Affleck’s Nick is perfect casting because his charm has a built-in smugness that the film keeps weaponizing. The treasure hunt clues, the diary voiceover, the Desi Collings (Neil Patrick Harris) trap, the talk-show image management, and that final return home keep shifting the power. Gone Girl is a thriller about marriage, media, and identity as staged combat. Every smile feels like evidence, betrayal, anger, strategy, revenge. It’s psychologically weird and that stimulates so well.

6

‘No Country for Old Men’ (2007)

Image via Miramax Films

The coin-toss scene alone could haunt a whole career in this film. It follows Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) walking into a gas station, starts a conversation with the owner, and slowly turns nothing into a life-or-death ritual. That is the kind of terror No Country for Old Men carries. The story follows Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a welder who finds drug money after a desert shootout and takes it, which puts Chigurh, a near-mythic killer, on his trail while Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) watches the violence spread beyond his understanding.

Moss is resourceful, Chigurh is methodical, and Bell is tired in a way that feels spiritual. The hotel-room suspense, the tracking device in the money, the border escape, the silenced shotgun, the car crash, and the offscreen cruelty all create a thriller that refuses comfort. Even the absence of a traditional showdown feels bold. The movie leaves you with Bell’s dream about his father, and suddenly the chase has become something older and sadder than crime.

5

‘Zodiac’ (2007)

Image via Paramount Pictures

The scariest thing about Zodiac is how much time it has. The film follows the hunt for the Zodiac Killer through journalists, detectives, letters, codes, false leads, and years of obsession that grind people down without giving them the clean release of certainty. Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a cartoonist at the San Francisco Chronicle, then becomes consumed by the case. Inspector Dave Toschi (Mark Ruffalo) carries the police side with style and frustration. Reporter Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr.) gets pulled into the killer’s orbit and starts unraveling in public.

This is a thriller where the monster’s power comes from absence. The lake attack, the cab murder, the newsroom letter openings, the basement scene with the movie posters, and Graysmith’s final stare at Arthur Leigh Allen (John Carroll Lynch) all hit differently because the movie never turns obsession into easy heroism. It shows how a case can become a life, then eat that life year by year. The pacing of this film almost feels hypnotic. The viewer becomes part of the same hunger.

4

‘Oldboy’ (2003)

Image via FilmDistrict

Oldboy is locked in long before that hammer comes out. Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) is kidnapped, imprisoned in a private room for fifteen years, framed for his wife’s murder, then released without an explanation. He enters the outside world as a man rebuilt by isolation, rage, television, and one question: who stole his life, and why?

That setup gives the movie an insane emotional engine. Dae-su meets Mi-do (Kang Hye-jung), starts chasing the people behind his imprisonment, and follows clues that feel like they were arranged by someone who knows him better than he knows himself. The live octopus scene, the dumpling trail, the one-take corridor brawl, Woo-jin’s (Yoo Ji-tae) cold elegance, and the final photo album all push the film toward one of the most devastating revelations in thriller history. Dae-su thinks he is hunting an enemy, then discovers he has been performing inside someone else’s punishment.

3

‘The Silence of the Lambs’ (1991)

Image via Orion Pictures

The Silence of the Lambs is the film that put Jodie Foster on the map. Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) plays an FBI trainee sent to interview an imprisoned cannibal psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). The Bureau hopes he can help them understand Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine), a serial killer who skins his victims. That simple assignment creates three lines of tension at once: Clarice trying to prove herself, Lecter studying her wounds, and Bill moving closer to another murder.

The movie is so gripping because every conversation feels dangerous. Lecter never needs freedom to control a room. Clarice has intelligence, empathy, and fear all working at once, and Foster lets you feel the pressure of being underestimated by almost every man around her. The storage unit, the autopsy, the night-vision basement, the lotion-in-the-basket horror, and Lecter’s escape are all precise without feeling mechanical. The lamb story gives the film its emotional center. Clarice is chasing a killer, but she is also trying to save one girl loudly enough to silence a childhood scream.

2

‘Se7en’ (1995)

Image via New Line Cinema

Se7en gives us Somerset (Morgan Freeman), the veteran counting the days until retirement, and Mills (Brad Pitt), the younger detective eager to prove himself, as they take on a killer staging murders around the seven deadly sins. The structure could have been gimmicky in weaker hands. Here, it becomes a march through moral decay that keeps you hook from start to end.

Every murder scene expands the nightmare. Gluttony is disgusting. Greed is staged like judgment. Sloth is one of the most horrifying reveals in ’90s cinema. Lust feels almost unbearable through what it implies. The library research, the rain, the apartment chase, the killer turning himself in, and that empty desert road all keep moving toward dread instead of surprise alone. Somerset understands the world’s rot too well, while Mills still believes anger can meet evil head-on and win. That contrast keeps you hooked.

1

‘Heat’ (1995)

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

Heat gives us Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro), who leads a professional crew that treats crime like a disciplined craft, while LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) hunts men like Neil with the focus of someone who has sacrificed normal life for the job. The story is huge, but the emotional line is simple. Two men on opposite sides recognize each other more clearly than anyone at home can. That opening armored-truck robbery announces a movie operating at a different level.

The greatness is in how much life exists around the chase. Neil has Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer), Michael Cheritto (Tom Sizemore), Trejo (Danny Trejo), and a code that keeps him alive until love tempts him toward a future. Vincent has a marriage collapsing in real time and a stepdaughter whose pain he notices almost too late. Neil and Vincent talk like men who already know the ending but respect the other’s commitment to getting there. Then comes the bank robbery, the street shootout, Waingro’s (Kevin Gage) shadow over everything, and that airport runway finale where victory feels almost mournful. Heat is a 10/10 thriller because every bullet, glance, job, and goodbye feels tied to the same obsession.

For the longest time, thriller shows would rely on a single hook where the entire story revolved around solving the mystery and catching the killer. Thankfully, the genre has evolved over the last few years. Modern thriller shows aren’t interested in building suspense simply by hiding information from the audience. Instead, they operate in a much denser psychological space to make viewers question everything as the story progresses.

That’s what makes this new wave of thrillers feel compelling without ever relying on cheap shock value and meaningless twists. Their idea is to pull the audience into messy, unpredictable worlds and never let them feel fully comfortable again. Here is a list of must-see new thrillers that do exactly that and are perfect from start to finish.

6

‘Severance’ (2022–Present)

Image via Apple TV+

Severance is easily one of the most original thriller shows of the last few years. The Apple TV series follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott), an employee at the mysterious Lumon Industries, where workers undergo a procedure that surgically separates their work memories from their personal memories. Their “innie” selves only exist inside the office, while their “outie” selves have no idea what happens once they step into the building. The concept is disturbing on its own, but the show takes it even further by turning the workplace into a psychological maze full of strange rules, empty hallways, and secrets that seem impossible to understand. Aside from its compelling central story, Severance is also a masterclass in character-driven storytelling.

Mark’s grief over the death of his wife gives the narrative a strong emotional foundation while Helly (Britt Lower), Dylan (Zach Cherry), and Irving (John Turturro) each bring their own sense of humanity to Lumon’s otherwise sterile world. The show is a corporate satire, a sci-fi thriller, and a psychological mystery all at once without ever feeling convoluted. Every episode adds another disturbing layer to Lumon’s world, and the tension only grows as the characters begin questioning the lives they have been forced to live. It is rare for a thriller this strange to feel so controlled, but Severance thrives in this restraint while also feeling genuinely haunting thanks to its mythology.

5

‘Slow Horses’ (2022–Present)

Image via Apple TV

Slow Horses is another show that proves spy thrillers don’t need glamorous agents or world-ending stakes to be entertaining. The Apple TV+ series follows a group of disgraced MI5 operatives who have been dumped into Slough House, an administrative dead-end reserved for agents who have completely messed up their careers. The rude, irritated, and completely checked-out Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) leads this team that barely does anything. However, things take a turn when a real crisis suddenly forces everyone back into action. It’s interesting how Slow Horses begins as a workplace comedy about failed spies but slowly evolves into one of the sharpest thrillers on TV currently. The fact that this crew is full of bitter, exhausted, and professionally humiliated people gives Slow Horses a sense of realism that no other show in the genre can fully match.

Jack Lowden’s River Cartwright is one of the standout characters in the show, who desperately wants to redeem himself and serves as the perfect counterpart to Lamb’s constant nihilism. Slow Horses also strikes the perfect tonal balance between comedy and tense espionage storylines. Unlike many modern spy shows that become overly complicated just for the heck of it, Slow Horses keeps its storytelling tight and character-focused. Even when the plots grow larger in scale, the emotional core always comes back to these deeply dysfunctional people trying to survive inside a system that has already discarded them. That consistency is a huge reason why Slow Horses has resonated so well with the audience.

‘His & Hers’ (2026)

Image via Netflix

His & Hers is an unsettling thriller based on Alice Feeney’s bestselling novel. The miniseries follows former news anchor Anna Andrews (Tessa Thompson), who returns to her small Georgia hometown after learning about a murder connected to people from her past. At the same time, her estranged husband, Detective Jack Harper (Jon Bernthal), is officially investigating the case, which immediately creates tension because neither of them fully trusts the other anymore.

The premise allows the show to keep introducing new secrets, different perspectives, and the smallest of details that completely change how viewers see the story. His & Hers thrives on paranoia, and this storytelling approach really benefits from the series’ claustrophobic, small-town setting. His & Hers doesn’t throw constant twists at the audience for hollow shock value, but when the reveals do come, they actually feel unpredictable. The show will have viewers thinking they have solved the mystery before pulling the rug out from under them, and that’s exactly what keeps them wanting more.

3

‘The Girlfriend’ (2025)

Image via Prime Video

The Girlfriend is one of the most fascinating thrillers of the last few years because it makes the audience second-guess whether something is even wrong in the first place. The series follows Laura (Robin Wright), a successful woman whose seemingly stable life begins to unravel after her son introduces her to his mysterious new girlfriend, Cherry (Olivia Cooke). At first, Laura’s suspicions seem irrational, but the show slowly blurs the line between love and obsession until it becomes impossible to tell who is actually manipulating whom.

The story shifts between Laura and Cherry’s perspectives and repeatedly revisits the same events from both points of view, often with tiny inconsistencies that completely change how the audience interprets what actually happened. That constant uncertainty becomes the show’s greatest strength because viewers are never entirely sure whose version of reality they should believe. Wright and Cooke perfectly embody their complex characters, and their tense dynamic unfolds like a wildly entertaining psychological chess match. The Girlfriend keeps building this suspense until the very end, to the point where it’s impossible to stop watching because of how the audience is constantly forced to rethink what they believed earlier.

2

‘Dept. Q’ (2025–Present)

Image via Netflix

Most crime shows try to make their detectives instantly likable, but Dept. Q does the exact opposite. The Netflix thriller introduces Carl Morck (Matthew Goode), a hardened, emotionally wrecked detective whose return to work after a traumatic shooting leaves almost everyone around him frustrated. Instead of getting back to normal police work, Carl is shoved into a forgotten basement office and assigned to lead a brand-new cold case department filled with other misfits like him. The punishment slowly evolves into one of the most gripping investigative thrillers Netflix has released in years as Carl and his team reopen the disappearance of prosecutor Merritt Lingard (Chloe Pirrie), and are pulled into a complex web of political corruption and buried trauma.

Dept. Q features a compelling mystery, but beneath that, the show is completely character-driven. Watching these emotionally fractured people learning to trust each other is the highlight of the show. The series also has this dry, almost uncomfortable sense of humor running through it that keeps the characters from becoming overly bleak. What really elevates Dept. Q, though, is its pacing. Instead of rushing through twists, the show really lets its tension stretch. By the time everything starts connecting, the investigation feels genuinely consuming, and the final reveal lingers with the audience long after the credits roll.

1

‘All Her Fault’ (2025)

Image via Peacock

All Her Fault wastes absolutely no time pulling viewers into its nightmarish premise. The Peacock thriller begins with Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook) arriving to pick up her young son from a playdate, only to discover that nobody at the house has ever heard of him. From there, the series spirals into an increasingly tense mystery that constantly shifts the audience’s understanding of what’s really happening. The show does a great job of balancing its central mystery with deeply personal themes of motherhood, guilt, and the pressures of holding a family together.

Snook delivers one of the strongest performances of her career. Her portrayal of Marissa always feels relatable, even as the story becomes increasingly chaotic. Dakota Fanning is equally compelling as Jenny, whose unlikely friendship with Marissa becomes one of the emotional anchors of the series. Nothing is as it seems in All Her Fault, though. The writing constantly forces viewers to question who can actually be trusted, especially as seemingly supportive characters slowly reveal hidden motivations and deeply messy personal histories. The series is layered, raw, and emotionally complex, which is what makes it impossible to stop binging.

We love the idea of shopping at the same boutiques East Coast socialites do. The elite have a way of piecing together an outfit that looks effortlessly cool yet incredibly rich, and we want in. The great news is you don’t need to have a Billionaire’s Isle budget, not when you can browse these boutique-worthy dresses on Amazon. They’re so trendy and chic, people will think you nabbed it at a shop off Main Street.

These breezy summer dresses are the easiest way to give off pure rich mom vibes, without sending your wallet to the ER. We picked up everything from no-nonsense minis to wedding guest dresses you can wear to outdoor ceremonies, starting at just $10. Designed with lightweight fabrics, pretty patterns and polished details, these Amazon dress picks absolutely scream ‘high-end style.’

Psst, some of our favorites are from popular brands, too. Think: Cupshe, Astr the Label and Petal & Pup!

19 Boutique-Inspired Dresses on Amazon

1. Our Favorite: Say ‘hello’ to your new go-to dress this summer. The eyelet details, exaggerated sleeves, V-neckline and cinched waist give it elegant flair with a flattering twist.

2. Best Value: It’s kind of remarkable to find a mini swing dress that looks this good for just $10, but we’re not questioning it. We especially love the ruffle sleeves and European-esque pattern that’s giving Greece vibes.

3. Laid-Back Luxe: Can’t you envision yourself on a boat, sipping champagne while wearing this maxi shirtdress? Yeah, the vision is clearly there. This boutique-like option is luxe in just about any color, but opt for the blue stripes for that coastal appearance.

4. Designer-Inspired: Whenever we see this relaxed maxi dress, we automatically think it’s a style from Lilly Pulitzer. Grab it in this fun, geometric pattern and see how many people in your friend group will think the same.

5. Playful Pattern: You simply can’t create a summer wardrobe without adding some gingham in the mix. This cute mini sundress is just the thing to wear to picnics, boardwalk strolls and farmers’ market outings.

6. Quite the Charmer: If you have a garden party, outdoor wedding or baby shower on the agenda, you’ll also want to have this pretty chiffon-like dress in your closet. The Petal & Pup find looks extremely elegant with a light fabric, floral print and ruffle details, and we wouldn’t expect anything less.

7. LBD: Your little black dress from 2001 needs an upgrade, and this boutique-style option is up for the challenge. It has a simple silhouette, which makes the ruffle-hem sleeves stand out.

8. Pop of Color: This ruffle cap-sleeve mini comes in so many bright prints and colors, including this teal blue hue that belongs in your vacation wardrobe.

9. Resortwear Must: Beachside dinners and romantic events call for something with high-end style, like this option from Astr the Label. It features a unique floral pattern and an almost neutral color palette, setting it apart from most on our list.

10. Flirty Fun: If you like the gingham-print mini from above, you’ll love this popular long maxi. The same checked pattern is the star of the show, but the smocked bodice and ruffle sleeves give it a flirty nod.

11. Rich Mom: We can almost guarantee that you’ll spot a beach-chic dress style like this in Southampton (but our find will be far cheaper). The puffed sleeves, button front and bold pattern will make you second-guess the $34 price tag.

12. Boho Babe: Trendy off-shoulder dresses are totally back for summer 2026, which is why you’ll want to grab this one before it sells out. The floor-length Cupshe dress features everything we’d want in a bohemian-style getup, including a tropical pattern and an easygoing silhouette.

13. Greece Maven: The moment we saw this simple yet gorgeous maxi, we immediately thought of Greece. The white and blue combo feels on-trend with Santorini style, so you can look like you belong before you even arrive!

14. Instant Upgrade: Us Weekly shopping editors love Petal & Pup dresses, and this one is no exception. The various blue floral patterns, bow-tie straps and flowy skirt look like a dream. We also love a smocked bodice, which accommodates larger busts nicely.

15. Sporty-Chic: It may be a little unconventional, but this sporty-chic dress is one all the ‘It’ girls are wearing this summer. The playful red and blue combination works well together, especially on this collegiate-style pick.

16. Summer Staple: Forgo tight dresses and opt for something a little more practical . . . and a whole lot more polished. This spaghetti strap midi dress is loose and light, skimming over the body with ease. Oh, and the rickrack trim totally elevates it.

17. Game Changer: Scoring a wedding guest dress for less than $50 seems impossible, and yet, we found this one-shoulder dress as proof. The floral pattern and bow-tie accent will make you stand out in a sea of boring dresses.

18. Two-in-One: We love clothes that have more than one function, like this mini quarter-sleeve pick that doubles as a swimsuit coverup. You can slip it on after taking a dip, and head straight to lunch without changing in the hotel room.

19. Pretty Pick: Soft and feminine, this gorgeous mini dress is just what you need to nail the cool-girl babydoll trend. In addition to the waist-cinching detail, this puff-sleeve number has cute bow accents that ‘up’ the dainty factor.

Underboob sweat used to dictate what I wore. Dealing with perspiration was especially annoying during the summer months, but if you’re a self-proclaimed hot body like me, you’re sweaty all year round, making it extra difficult to find cute outfits that hide any hint of moisture. However, that all changed when I discovered Carpe’s Sweat […]

Anna Faris is sparking excitement among fans after revealing the possibility of a sequel to “The House Bunny,” the 2008 comedy movie, in which she starred as Playboy Bunny-turned-sorority mom, Shelly Darlington. While nothing has been confirmed, the idea of a follow-up has already generated buzz among fans, and Faris has expressed her desire to step into the role of Shelly once again.

At the “Scary Movie” premiere, Entertainment Tonight caught up with Anna Faris, who had something to say about another movie she starred in. Talking to a reporter, she said, “I would love to talk to you about ‘House Bunny’ stuff.”

Faris said there’s “interest” in a sequel, and while it’s too early to tell whether one is possible, she knows the original film, as well as her character in the movie, Shelly Darlington, has a following. “I never thought that dream would ever be realized either… It’s too soon to say anything but it turns out, that movie is beloved, and that character too,” she said.

Fans Want A Zeta House Reunion

“The House Bunny” was released in 2008, and it follows Shelly Darlington, a Playboy Bunny aspiring to be on the centerfold of the magazine, but gets kicked out of the Playboy Mansion instead. She ends up serving as a house mother for the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority, helping its socially awkward members reach their full potential and also learning a few lessons along the way.

The movie starred Colin Hanks, Emma Stone, Kat Dennings, Katherine McPhee, and Rumer Willis, with cameo appearances from Hugh Hefner, Shaquille O’Neal, and Bunnies Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson, and Bridget Marquardt.

Faris’ statements fired up the movie’s fanbase, with many expressing their excitement over the possibility of a sequel. “No I’m cryinnnggg cause I’ve been dreaming about this since I was in middle school!!!” one fan commented. “I would DIE if they brought it back for a sequel,” another added.

Anna Faris Said Adam Sandler Saved ‘The House Bunny’

Faris came up with the concept of a Playboy Bunny getting dismissed from the mansion and approached screenwriters Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah. However, Faris had a darker plot in mind. The writers instead injected comedic elements into the story and came up with the final script.

On the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Faris told host Josh Horowitz that they pitched “The House Bunny” more than 20 times to different companies and got rejected. Their 24th attempt, and the last one, was to Happy Madison Productions, Adam Sandler’s company. Faris said they didn’t even have to pitch to Sandler.

Sandler saw the actress in the waiting room and asked what she was doing there, to which she replied, “I said, ‘I’m here to pitch you a movie,’ and he said, ‘What’s it about?’ And I said, ‘A Playboy Bunny who gets kicked out of the mansion,’ And he was like, ‘Okay, all right. That’s pretty funny.’”

Several weeks later, Faris was on set filming the movie.

The Actress Got Tired Of Waiting For Roles

Faris’ breakout role was in “Scary Movie,” released in 2000. In the years following, she appeared in three more installments of “Scary Movie” and nabbed supporting roles in other films, such as “The Hot Chick,” “Lost in Translation,” and “Just Friends,” among others.

In an interview in 2008, Faris shared what pushed her to come up with the concept of “The House Bunny.” “I got a little tired of waiting for men to cast me in their comedies. I decided to do like Hollywood’s comic boys club does,” she told the Boston Herald.

Apart from taking on the lead role, Faris also served as one of the executive producers of “The House Bunny.” Three years later, she also executive-produced and starred in the romantic comedy “What’s Your Number?”

Anna Faris Said ‘The House Bunny’ Was Life-Changing

“The House Bunny” proved to be a formative experience for Faris in more ways than one. In 2022, she shared how uncomfortable she was for two weeks while filming, saying she wasn’t used to wearing skimpy outfits. Despite being out of her comfort zone, she pushed forward and, in the end, felt more empowered.

In a 2024 interview with PEOPLE, Faris shared that Shelley was a “life-changing role,” not only for her career but for her personal growth. “I loved playing a character who was not competitive with other people, and who was really wonderful. That made me want to lead my life with compliments… I loved playing a character who was so generous with her love,” she explained.

At that time, Faris also shared ideas for a sequel, saying that Shelley could be a bad country singer, but she was leaning more toward the former Playboy Bunny working as a CIA interrogator. “Let’s write a script. I would love that,” Faris said.

Love Island USA‘s newest challenge revealed an interesting fact about how an Islander slept with someone nearly three decades older than him.

During the Thursday, June 4, episode of the Peacock show, the Islanders had to read out sex facts and figure out which of them it was about. One of the revelations was that an Islander slept with someone in their 50s.

“I was out and I was having a good time with my friends. She started talking to me and she was hot as f*** for her age,” Gabriel, who is 26 years old, said about his encounter with the 52-year-old. “We had a good night together. She had a lot of experience.”

Love Island USA follows a group of singles who have to pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa in Fiji. The contestants — who are referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa and are under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and to stand a chance to receive the prize of $100,000.

While the islanders are filming nonstop for weeks, viewers are watching daily episodes and even get to cast votes that affect couples and the fate of the contestants.

Before season 8 premiered, Love Island USA released a statement directed at the audience, which read, “The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community. We love seeing your reactions, opinions, and debates, but everyone deserves to feel safe and respected.”

Thank You!
