These spine-tingling horror movies and shows starring Thatcher are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. Enjoy the fright!

Heretic (2024)

Let’s kick things off with her latest horror production, the chilling horror-thriller titled “Heretic”. This A24 film is currently playing in cinemas and is expected to hit Max sometime following its theater release. As of November 8th, it has a Tomatometer score of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, which suggests that it’s receiving positive reviews from critics.

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: In this movie, I and my co-star Chloe East portray Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton – two devoted young members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, roaming from door to door, sharing our faith. However, things take an ominous twist when we’re welcomed into the home of a British gentleman named Mr. Reed.

Shortly upon arriving at their residence, Sisters Barnes and Paxton become aware of being deceived. Mr. Reed confines them within the house, leaving them to devise an exit strategy. Hugh Grant takes on the role of Mr. Reed alongside Thatcher and East in the cast.

MaXXXine (2024)

This year, another chilling production by Thatcher, titled “MaXXXine” or the final installment in Ti West’s “X” trilogy, has been released. Although she didn’t have a significant role in this horror movie, her performance was commendable given the limited resources. Therefore, I would still consider it one of her strongest performances in the horror genre. You can stream this film on Max.

Six years following the farmhouse massacre in X (2022), Maxine Minx – an adult film star with aspirations in acting – has established herself in Los Angeles, chasing her big break. However, as luck seems to be on her side, she finds herself under threat from a shadowy figure known as the “Night Stalker.

Mia Goth takes on the lead character, Maxine Minx. Thatcher is featured as a special effects artist in the film. Additionally, Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon are also part of the ensemble cast.

Yellowjackets (2021-)

Without a doubt, “Yellowjackets” is my top pick among Thatcher’s horror ventures. She truly shines as young Natalie (Nat), offering a captivating and multidimensional performance that keeps me hooked. I eagerly anticipate her return to the role in “Yellowjackets” season 3, expected to air on Showtime around 2025. You can catch the first two seasons on Paramount+ right now.

The chilling TV show revolves around a high school girls’ soccer team whose plane plummets into the untamed Ontario wilderness, leaving them abandoned without any means of contacting help. The series unfolds across two distinct timeframes. One narrative follows the stranded survivors as they navigate their harrowing ordeal in 1996. Another timeline presents the adult versions of these survivors in 2021, grappling with the psychological aftermath of their wilderness survival.

The Exorcist (2016-2017)

In this case, I’m referring to another chilling production where Thatcher didn’t have a substantial part, but her brief appearances were captivating nonetheless. She portrayed the character of young Regan MacNeil in two episodes of the initial season of the short-lived supernatural horror television series. The show was developed by Jeremy Slater (known for “The Umbrella Academy”) and aired on Fox from 2016-2017, spanning only two seasons.

Following the 1971 horror novel titled “The Exorcist” penned by William Peter Blatty, the series delves into the chilling tales of demonic possession as experienced by priests Father Tomas Ortega and Father Marcus Keane. The star-studded cast includes Alfonso Herrera, Ben Daniels, Hannah Kasulka, Brianne Howey, Kurt Egyiawan, Alan Ruck, Geena Davis, Li Jun Li, Brianna Hildebrand, John Cho, Zuleikha Robinson, and others, alongside Thatcher. You can catch this spine-tingling show on Tubi for free with advertisements or stream it on Hulu if you have a subscription.

The Boogeyman (2023)

In this supernatural horror movie, “The Boogeyman,” directed by Rob Savage (from the film “Host”), the lead actress, Thatcher, delivers an exceptionally powerful portrayal! The story is adapted from one of Stephen King’s famous short stories and follows the Harper family, focusing on sisters Sadie and Sawyer, who are grappling with the sorrow of their mother’s passing.

However, the family’s peaceful existence is shattered when an unstable individual intrudes into their home, unwittingly bringing a malevolent, spectral presence known as the Boogeyman. Now, it falls upon the two sisters and their father to bravely face this sinister force and eliminate it permanently. In the film, Thatcher essayed the character of Sadie, while Vivien Lyra Blair portrayed Sawyer, and Chris Messina took on the role of Will Harper, their father.

Currently, you won’t find this movie available for streaming. However, you can still enjoy it by renting or buying it digitally from platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, or Fandango Now.
