Maika Monroe’s Horror Movies, Ranked
The 21st-century scream queen has one of her best roles yet in Longlegs.
In Watcher, Chloe Okuno’s stylish and nail-biting directorial debut, Monroe stars as a lonely woman who moves to Bucharest with her husband (Karl Glusman) and, while he’s at work, starts to worry that someone in the apartment across the street is watching her. Helmed by the You’re Next team of director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett, The Guest emerges as a seemingly straightforward thriller about a military man (Stevens) who visits the family of a departed comrade and forms a strange bond with their teenage daughter (Monroe) and bullied young son (Brendan Meyer). In this combination of procedural thriller and Satanic nightmare from horror filmmaker Oz Perkins, Monroe stars as Lee Harker, an FBI agent trying to track down the title serial killer (Nicolas Cage) even as he closes in on her as the object of his latest fascinations.
