The 5 Best Horror Performances Since Toni Collette in ‘Hereditary’
While a lot of different elements have helped make the modern era of horror so strikingly memorable compared to eras of the past, one of the most prominent and distinct ways that this has been reflected is through the myriad of masterful performances. Among these titans of horror acting, one of the absolute icons of strength has been Toni Collette‘s perfect performance as mother Annie Graham in Hereditary. In the relatively short time since the film’s release, it’s grown to be considered one of the all-time greatest horror performances and massively influential in the horror genre as a whole.
However, there have been a lot of exceptional horror movies that have come out since Hereditary was released in 2018, many of which also sport exceptionally well-crafted performances at their center. While very few horror performances can live up to the weight and emotional depth of Collette’s iconic role, these horror performances stand out as the very best that the genre has provided in the time since this legendary performance.

Mia Goth in ‘Pearl’ (2022)
Mia Goth had already delivered a great duo of performances in Ti West‘s X, portraying not only the young and ambitious Maxine Minx, but the elderly, touch-starved soul Pearl, the latter of which proved to be so rife with potential as a character that an entire prequel film, Pearl, was made immediately after X‘s production. It’s in this deeper look into a young Pearl’s life, feeling held back and stuck on her farm in 1918, where Goth truly goes all out and makes the character into a truly iconic villain of 2020s horror. The combination of youthful naivety with ruthless and outright psychopathic tendencies makes Goth both compelling and terrifying as a horror character. The film and the performance paint a greater picture of how Pearl, as a character, could go from such an innocent farm girl into the hardened, isolated woman capable of murder that we see in X.
Her performance is the film’s primary selling point, drawing on key dynamics of both Maxine and Pearl’s characters in X to create a distinct portrait of fleeting youth and the fight for a spot atop the mountain of glory. It’s the type of performance that continues to stick in the mind of the audience long after it has ended, single-handedly amplifying the appeal and impact of the film itself. It certainly helps that the film gives Goth a lot of opportunities to shine and show off as a rising star actress, most notably with a legendary monologue and that haunting ending where she smiles directly into the camera. Goth was certainly an appreciated actress before this film, but it’s her brilliant performance in Pearl that truly catapulted her career and made many truly appreciate her as a genuine force of emotional talent.

Rebecca Hall in ‘The Night House’ (2021)
Rebecca Hall is an actress who has certainly played a part in several highly acclaimed and successful films, yet is often playing in the background or not given an opportunity to truly show off her talents. The Night House places the actor center stage and brings an arguable career-best performance out of her, as she plays a scorned and emotionally distraught widow still struggling as she attempts to live in the aftermath of her husband’s suicide. While the film itself is much more unknown and underrated compared to every other film and performance on this list, those who have experienced the film will be quick to praise the masterful performance by Hall at its center that elevates the entire film around her.
It’s one thing to simply hit the mark and react well as events grow more disturbing and haunting in a supernatural horror film, yet it’s this overwhelming aura of grief, anger, and continued pain following such a shocking loss that drives Hall’s performance into all-time great status. There is an essence of humanity that is ingrained within each moment of Hall’s performance, with one of the more realistic and emotionally layered depictions of loss and grief that is seen in a modern film, especially a horror film at that. Her portrayal of a broken character reeling with loss makes her emotional responses to the shocking events of the film all the more impactful and felt, amplifying the horror and stakes to make the film one of the best psychological horror thrillers of the 2020s so far.

Michael B. Jordan in ‘Sinners’ (2025)
It’s always impressive when an actor is able to provide not just one performance within a film, but a layered dual performance where they portray multiple distinct characters that feel entirely different from one another. The prominent example of recent memory comes from the most recent Academy Award-winning performance for Best Actor, Michael B. Jordan‘s role as both Smoke and Stack in Sinners. There are distinct similarities and differences between the twins that make them such compelling characters, with Jordan’s exceptional performance making all the differences in terms of making both of them fluid and memorable characters. Both long before the horror elements arise in Sinners and long after, both Smoke and Stack are exceptionally entertaining to watch on-screen, whether they’re setting the stage for their big break or fighting for their lives against one another.
This intelligence and subtle differences in their characters, combined with Jordan’s electrifying screen presence as either character, have made them some of the best movie characters of the last 10 years. The very fact that Jordan was able to make both of these characters so impactful and striking within a single film makes the performance all the more memorable and well-crafted. It’s also worth mentioning that a part of the brilliance of this performance can be credited to Percy Bell, Jordan’s body double, who would stand as the other twin during the scenes where both Smoke and Stack were on-screen. Bell’s own talent allowed Jordan to go all out as both Smoke and Stack in a given scene, creating a dynamic on-screen performance that really feels like he’s reacting and building off of his own performance. Considering that the last horror performance to win the Academy Award for Best Actor was Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs, this performance is certainly in highly acclaimed territory.
2
Demi Moore in ‘The Substance’ (2024)
Horror as a genre doesn’t always have to adhere to the same rules as many other genres, as while a strong performance in a drama can be ingrained within the subtleties and small mannerisms, horror is allowed to go all out with its brazen lack of subtletly but still be emotionally gripping and impactful. No singular horror film of recent memory exemplifies this like The Substance, which is wild and in-your-face every second with its overwhelming messaging of beauty standards and destructive bodily identity. Demi Moore‘s powerhouse central performance as Elizabeth Sparkle is what holds the film’s emotional core and impact together, amplifying the energy and themes of the film for this wild, unrestrained, and undeniable career-best performance.
It’s a performance that builds upon the legacy and perception that Moore has had throughout her entire career as an icon of beauty, delving into the often overlooked pains of age in an industry that is quick to throw away its most successful stars when they no longer adhere to the maximum standards of beauty. The pain that Elizabeth feels over her rejection from the industry and the ingrained hatred for her own looks defines Moore’s legendary performance, creating an emotional pull and electrifying screen presence throughout the entire film. There’s also a vast range of tones in her performance, from more restrained and simmering with anger early on to a more manic and desperate plea once the adverse effects of the substance begin impacting her. The performance managed to earn Moore her first Golden Globe win and an Academy Award nomination, as well as revitalizing her career and placing her center stage once again thanks to her genuine talent.

Lupita Nyong’o in ‘Us’ (2019)
Similarly to Michael B. Jordan’s iconic and highly memorable dual performance, the iconic dual performance provided by Lupita Nyong’o by Us takes command and elevates the entire film around it, terrifying and touching audiences with two characters who couldn’t feel more different from one another. In an entire film defined and elevated by its usage of dual performances through its core premise of deadly alternate versions of people coming to kill the original, the central performance by Nyong’o exemplifies the potential and craft of this exceptionally terrifying premise. She finds a great striking ground and balance between the two characters, showing the stark differences and unlikely similarities between the calm, determined mother Adelaide and the sinister, coarse throaty voice of Red.
The dynamic between these two characters and the shocking variety of her own performances bouncing off of each other makes Us such a striking and exceptionally layered piece of contemporary horror cinema. While the film as a whole may not be as celebrated as a complete package compared to Jordan Peele’s other films, it feels widely accepted that Nyong’o’s performance is the absolute best performance in any of his films. Thanks to the film’s shocking twist ending, it’s the type of performance that has distinctly different meanings on rewatch, with context of the overarching story completely changing the perception and dynamic of these characters and their interactions with one another. Ironically, just like Toni Collette’s performance before her, many people were absolutely shocked that this groundbreaking performance was completely passed over by the Academy Awards, with this massively impressive feat of acting sadly being overlooked due to being a part of the horror genre.

armor,’ the hero complex over on the masculine side which, obviously, I think is a big part of the toxic masculinity that kind of develops,” Stan said on “The Jess Cagle Podcast” in March 2022. “But this idea of ‘knight in shining armor’ and this idea that we often see sometimes in Disney movies and narratives growing up.”

In a world bursting with dystopian tales, 2017’s What Happened to Monday manages to offer a fresh, thrilling spin, catching viewers in a web of suspense, emotion, and intricate plotting. It went under-watched and underappreciated at the time of its release, but we can correct that now.
It’s streaming on Netflix, and this gripping sci-fi film poses the question: In a future where overpopulation leads to a strict one-child policy, what happens when you have seven identical sisters living in secret?
If you’re in the mood for a pulse-pounding ride that merges mystery with futuristic paranoia, then What Happened to Monday is one to add to your watchlist. And if you are a parent handling multiple kids at home, don’t worry, this will make your own living situation seem peaceful by comparison.
Seven Days Of Settman Sisters
In the not-so-far-off future depicted in What Happened to Monday, overpopulation isn’t just a looming issue, but rather a critical crisis. The world’s governments, in a desperate attempt to control the situation, implement a strict one-child policy. The Child Allocation Bureau ensures this policy is followed ruthlessly, taking away any additional children from families and putting them in cryosleep, with the promise that they’ll be awakened in a better, less crowded future. It’s into this world that the Settman sisters, seven identical siblings, are born.
Now, how do you hide seven sisters in a one-child society? Ingeniously named after each day of the week, the sisters rotate, stepping outside on the day they’re named after, and all impersonating the same identity: Karen Settman. Indoors, they’re Sunday through Saturday (hence, What Happened to Monday), each with her own personality and quirks. Outdoors, they maintain a collective facade, sharing experiences and memories with one another to keep their secret intact.
But the system, as meticulous as it is, starts to crumble when Monday doesn’t return home after her designated day out. Panic ensues among the remaining sisters. Has she been discovered? Did she run away? Or is there a more sinister reason behind her disappearance? The ensuing search pulls the sisters into a whirlwind of danger, conspiracy, and revelations as they race against time, not just to find Monday, but to ensure their own survival.
Noomi Rapace Kills In What Happened To Monday
The film’s stellar cast elevates this intriguing premise. Noomi Rapace takes on a challenging feat, portraying all seven distinct sisters, each with her own nuances and depth. Glenn Close, as the unwavering head of the Child Allocation Bureau, is the embodiment of the hard decisions and sacrifices made in the name of the greater good. Willem Dafoe also makes his mark as the Settman grandfather, the architect of the sisters’ intricate hide-and-seek life.
What Happened to Monday isn’t just another dystopian tale. It’s a story of sisterhood, survival, and the lengths to which one will go to preserve family.
The film generated a potpourri of reactions from critics upon its release. It was lauded for its intriguing premise and the tour de force performance by Noomi Rapace. Playing seven distinct characters in a single film is no easy feat, and Rapace’s portrayal was often spotlighted as the movie’s shining strength.
However, critics also had their reservations. Some felt that the movie, while ambitious, occasionally stumbled in its narrative execution. There were concerns that the film veered into formulaic territory, occasionally becoming predictable or borrowing tropes from other dystopian tales. Some critiques pointed towards the character depth, feeling that despite Rapace’s commendable effort, not all sisters received equal and adequate characterization.
On the flip side, the film’s pacing, action sequences, and visual aesthetics were often praised. The tension-laden plot kept many viewers at the edge of their seats, even if it sometimes sacrificed deeper thematic exploration for thrills.
Fertile Ground For A Sequel
If What Happened to Monday were to be granted a sequel, it could take multiple intriguing directions. Here’s one way to envision it:
Building on the first movie’s exploration of a world strangled by overpopulation, the sequel could venture beyond the Settman sisters’ story. The aftermath of the events of the first film has shaken the foundations of the Child Allocation Bureau. People across the world are now aware of the dark secrets of cryosleep and the fate of “extra” children. This revelation could trigger widespread unrest, with communities and families demanding transparency, accountability, and change.
The remaining Settman sisters could be at the heart of this revolution, becoming symbols of resistance against the oppressive one-child policy. They could join or even lead a movement seeking to challenge and overthrow the system. Along the way, they might uncover even deeper secrets about the Bureau and the global elite’s real intentions behind the policy.
What Happened to Monday garnered a mixed-to-positive reception, securing a 62 percent critical score against a slightly more favorable 67 percent Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes. While it might not have been hailed universally as a classic in the sci-fi dystopian genre, it was recognized for its ambition, Rapace’s commendable performance, and its fresh take on a future grappling with overpopulation.
For many viewers, especially those fond of suspenseful, high-stakes cinema, What Happened to Monday became a must-watch, and is available to steam on Netflix.

Colin Farrell’s Hard-Boiled Apple TV Detective Thriller Officially Returns With New Image [Exclusive]
Colin Farrell has become one of the biggest stars in the world in the last few years, featuring in some of the most successful movies and TV shows on streaming and in theaters. Back in 2022, Farrell made his feature debut as The Penguin, and his role was so beloved that HBO greenlit an entire spin-off series around the character, which arrived in 2024. The show earned widespread critical acclaim, including nine Emmys, but its future beyond Season 1 is still unclear at this time. Farrell also recently teamed up with Margot Robbie for the romantic fantasy adventure A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, which is now streaming around the world on Netflix. He even earned his first Oscar nomination a few years ago for his performance in The Banshees of Inisherin — it’s safe to say now is the best time to invest in Colin Farrell stock.
While The Penguin was a smash hit by every metric, many fans would argue that it wasn’t Farrell’s best show of 2024. You could make a case that the title belongs to Sugar, the Apple TV hard-boiled detective thriller co-starring Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Amy Ryan. Sugar went off the air on May 17, almost exactly two years ago, but Apple TV has already confirmed that the series will return with its long-awaited sophomore season on June 15. As part of our Exclusive Summer Preview Event here at Collider, we’re thrilled to partner with Apple TV to debut a new image from Sugar Season 2 ahead of its June 15 launch date. Before its return, Sugar is also surging in the top 10 on Apple TV in several countries right now.
What Is ‘Sugar’ About?
Sugar follows the private detective, John Sugar (played by Colin Farrell), who investigates the disappearance of Olivia, who is the granddaughter of Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel (James Cromwell). Sydney Chandler, who broke out last year thanks to her role in the hit sci-fi series Alien: Earth, can be seen in Sugar playing Olivia. Sugar was written and created for TV by Mark Protosevich, with Donald Joh, Sam Catlin, and David Rosen also serving as writers in Season 1. Additional cast members include Dennis Boutsikaris as Bernie Siegel, Nate Corddry as David Siegel, Alex Hernandez as Kenny, and Anna Gunn as Margit Sorensen.
Check out the first season of Sugar on Apple TV and stay tuned to Collider for more from our Exclusive Summer Preview.

I crowned myself a wannabe Posh Spice as a kid, so it’s no surprise that Victoria Beckham’s style has always been an enduring inspiration for me. And while her figure and mine couldn’t be more different, there’s one thing we both seem to look great in: Oner Active’s ultra‑flattering workout leggings.

Unlike other stretchy leggings that can emphasize areas that many of Us would rather keep subtle or hidden (looking at you, muffin top), these pants offer an easy, comfortable fit that looks good without insane effort. They’re comfortable, confidence-boosting leggings that work on real bodies, real-life demands and real women of every age.
For years, skin-tight leggings had a chokehold on my closet. They’re reliable, sure, but lately I’ve been craving something with a little more breathing room.

Thoughtful design details like a wrap‑front waistband not only look sleek, but they’re also incredibly supportive and flattering. A hidden mesh layer in the waistband helps keep the lower belly in check, while still feeling good when you’re on the move. The fabric is incredibly breathable and silky, and stays cool even during the sweatiest outside workouts or hectic mom-duty days.
When it comes to the backside, the sculpting workout leggings have glute‑defining lines that create a defined, lifted look without veering into obnoxious territory — i.e., nothing overly youthful, flashy or revealing. Instead, the effect is subtle and functional — the kind of body-boosting detail that feels appropriate whether you’re in your 20s, 40s, 50s or beyond.
These Oner Active leggings come in regular and long lengths, plus sizes XS through XXL. And while Victoria’s go‑to cocoa shade is running low, there are twelve total colors to choose from, including classics like black and blue, as well as bolder hues, like green and purple.

Hayden Panettiere is pulling the curtain back on her past.
While promoting her new memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, she reflected on a deeply unsettling time in her life when she says she was “told to perform” sexual acts with an older man she met via a trusted friend.
“The fact that I was 18, even though I’d lived such a huge life and I thought I was oh so mature at 18 … scientifically, your frontal lobes don’t develop until we’re what, 25, 26?” Panettiere, 36, said during the Monday, May 11, episode of the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” podcast after writing about the experience in her book. “So even though I felt like I could make healthy decisions, safe decisions, I wasn’t capable of being fully aware of what was going on around me.”
Panettiere spoke about the “shocking” incident that took place in a “very small room” on a boat with author and life coach Jay Shetty, noting it was even more troubling due to being quite “literally out to sea.” The actress was 18 at the time and starred on the hit show Heroes as Claire Bennet, an indestructible cheerleader with super healing powers.
Hayden Panettiere channeled her own experiences — as a both mother and as a former sleepwalker — when diving into the complex emotions of her latest character. In her new psychological thriller, Sleepwalker, Panettiere, 36, explores the question of how much a mother can endure as mourning mom Sarah, whose grief after losing her daughter […]
The former child star — who now shares a daughter Kaya, 11, with ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko — said she never anticipated being shoved into the room by a person she deemed “as a protector and somebody who had my back.”
“She physically put me in the bed next to this undressed man who was very famous,” Panettiere said, revealing he acted “like this was just an average day for him.” Panettiere said she was instantly on alert and hyperaware of her surroundings, adding, “That lion in me, that fire in me … my hair stood on end and I became ferocious. I was like, ‘This is not happening.’”
She had nowhere to hide at the time, but “bolted” to another room.
“There was no jumping off and swimming away,” Panettiere added. “And there was nobody who was going to be empathetic to my situation. I realized that this was nothing new to them.”
Panettiere said it was a “disappointing” memory to look back on, “when somebody lets you down like that.” She pointed out that she had been disappointed by others before.
In hindsight, Panettiere said it made her appreciate those in her life who she can always count on in hard times — including her father, Skip Panettiere, who was consistently her “safe space” and who kept her “grounded.”
“When you really find somebody that you trust, you hold on to them for dear life and you feel so lucky,” the Nashville star shared. “So to be betrayed like that is just an awful feeling.”
Panettiere recently spoke about her childhood fame, surviving addiction, abuse and more in Us Weekly’s cover story, telling Us there is so much more to the actress than meets the eye.
“I think people will be surprised by what they learn,” she said.
After overcoming some of her life’s greatest challenges, Panettiere admitted to Shetty, 38, that she is taking a closer look at how she vets the individuals who enter her orbit. “I’ve not seen clearly immediately … They really were able to pull the wool over my eyes,” she said.
“I have, throughout the years, been fortunate enough to meet incredible people,” she also highlighted. “Incredibly loyal, and genuinely genuinely good.”

2. Frayed and Fabulous: The light blue wash and frayed raw hem give these wide-leg cuffed jeans a lived-in, just-vintage-enough feel. The high waist keeps the silhouette flattering under cropped tops.
3. Tummy-Control: Waistbands that dig or roll can sour any outfit, but the tummy-control panel on this high-rise pick holds everything in place. You get the wide-leg look without constantly tugging at the waist.
4. Deal Alert: Trying a trend feels less risky at $19. The dark wash and front pintuck on this high-rise, wide-leg option make it dressy enough for the office and easy to pair with whatever’s already in your closet.
5. Spring-to-Summer: Transitional weather is tricky for denim, but the cropped length on this light-wash boyfriend pair lets your ankles breathe once temperatures climb. You’ll wear them from now through October.
The easiest way to look put-together this spring doesn’t involve layering or complicated styling tricks. It’s all about matching skirt sets that feel polished, intentional and just a little bit elevated. The kind of outfit that looks like you picked it up at a high-end boutique — even if you didn’t. Amazon has quietly become […]
6. Night Out-Ready: Pair these trendy black jeans with a strappy heel and a silk blouse for cocktails, or a band tee and boots for a concert. The washed black wash translates either direction.

11. All-Day Comfort: Rigid denim by hour eight gets miserable, but the stretchy fabric on this cropped cuffed pair stays comfortable through travel days and back-to-back meetings.
12. Major Sale: Premium denim usually means premium prices, but Joe’s Jeans’ cuffed pair at 68% off brings the quality within reach. The vintage wash works with almost everything.
13. Pinstripe Perfection: A subtle pinstripe takes these baggy boyfriend jeans somewhere unexpected, blurring the line between denim and dress trousers. The high waist and wide leg keep the silhouette flattering.
Summer style always sounds effortless . . . until you’re actually standing in front of your closet trying to get dressed in the heat. The wrong fabric, the wrong fit or just one extra layer can make an outfit feel completely off. That’s why Amazon’s new “Summer Wardrobe Refresh” edit couldn’t have landed at a […]

American Idol season 24 winner Hannah Harper is expressing her gratitude after singing her way to victory.
“What a wild, beautiful journey this has been. And somehow we’re just getting started,” Harper, 25, wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 11, alongside a photo of her posing with the envelope announcing the season 24 winner on the Idol set.
Harper continued, “Thank you to every single person who believed in me, prayed over me, voted, and helped carry this dream farther than I ever could’ve imagined. Y’all changed my life.”
“I’m beyond thankful for the doors the Lord has opened and for the opportunity to walk this path,” the singer added. “I’ll see y’all on the road soon… tour dates coming your way. 🤍”
Harper concluded her post with a Bible quote, which reads, “‘For I know the plans I have for you’ — this is the Lord’s declaration — ‘plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’”
Host Ryan Seacrest announced Harper as the winner of the latest season of American Idol during Monday’s live finale on ABC. Jordan McCullough was named runner-up, while Keyla Richardson came in third place.
During Monday’s finale, Harper performed Alicia Keys’ “No One” in tribute to the Grammy winner, who served as a mentor for the finalists heading into the live show.
“Your voice sounds beautiful and tender and like a lullaby,” judge Luke Bryan said about her performance. “Your voice is like walking in the outdoors. It’s like walking through a beautiful garden. You’re a true artist.”
American Idol paved the way for reality competition shows to help everyday people achieve their dreams of music stardom. The series premiered in 2002 on Fox with a star-studded judging panel consisting of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. American Idol‘s freshman season introduced Kelly Clarkson, who would become the show’s first breakout star. […]
For her second performance of the night, Harper sang an original song, “Married Into This Town,” as a tribute to her hometown. The singer is a stay-at-home mom of three from Willow Springs, Missouri.
“Congratulations on songwriting, congratulations about being that authentic person,” judge Lionel Richie gushed about her original song.
Harper first wowed the judges — Bryan, Richie and Carrie Underwood — in her initial audition when she performed an original song called “String Cheese,” which she said was about her experiences with postpartum depression.
“I was sitting on my couch wallowing, and you have boys, you know. Everybody wants to touch you, and I didn’t want to be touched,” she explained the song’s inspiration, per People. “And my youngest son, I was just having a pity party, praying that the Lord would calm my spirit, and my son kept coming up to me. He said, ‘Mom, open this. Open my cheese.’ I’m like, ‘Leave me alone with the doggone cheese.’”

Harper continued, “And I finally opened his cheese, and when I did, I realized God had put me in that place, and that where I was in my house was the biggest ministry that I could ever have in being a mom. So, I gathered myself, and I got up off the couch, and I quit throwing a pity party, and I realized that was exactly what I wanted.”
“And I kind of kicked the postpartum depression in the butt, and I said, ‘I ain’t doing it,’” Harper shared.
