Samara Weaving has the best scream in movies


 I don't know much. But one thing I do know is that Samara Weaving has one of the most distinctive screams. The warble that it has and the anguish/anger/fear it's able to portray are all unreal. I haven't seen all of her movies/shows but those I have seen are enjoyable. Here's my quick review of those I've seen.


Bad Girl: Awesome little movie that she cuts her teeth on and shows her ability to play heartwarming an psychotic. 6/10

Monster Trucks: I don't even remember her in this, but it was an underrated movie. Fun popcorn action flick for the whole family. 5/10

Mayhem: Samara and Steven Yeun commit massive acts of violence in an office setting, not as good as The Belko Experiment, but better actors. 6/10

The Babysitter: A young adult horror noir and it rocks! 8/10

Ready or Not: The movie that proved she was ready for prime time! Fantastic horror comedy and I'm excited for the next one! 9/10

Guns Akimbo: Samara and Daniel Radcliff commit massive acts of violence in a near future urban dystopia. Lots of action and fun in this one. 7/10

Last Moment of Clarity: The first movie with her that's not action on this list. It's a thriller and while streaches believability somewhat, it's a decent enough one. 5/10

Bill & Ted Face the Music: It's Bill and Ted and Samara's in it as Bill's daughter. It's good. Just could have used some Rufus. RIP George Carlin. 7/10

The Babysitter: Killer Queen: A cheesy sequel with T2 vibes. Not as good as the first but enjoyable enough. 6/10

Snake Eyes: Samara as Scarlett was not something I expected, but it works. Enjoyable enough popcorn flick but nothing special. 5/10

Scream IV: *spoiler* She gets her Drew Barrymore moment and it pays off. Good use of a scream queen for the first kill. A good continuation of the series. 7/10

Azrael: A dystopian world with cult like control. Samara rocks it but this is not one for everyone. 6/10

Borderline: Ray Nicholson (Jack's son) puts on his psychotic face and terrorizes Samara. Weirdly kind of a reversal of Bad Girl in some spiritual ways. 6/10


Take Ready or Not out and there's not really a do not miss movie here, but every single one is entertaining and is elevated by Samara. I actively seek out her films as they are usually ones that entertain. 


Still need to watch Mystery Road though. That's probably coming soon

  1. You've added to an impressive stack of READY OR NOT recommendations I've collected. I guess I have to see it.

    1. It's pretty gory, and has some crazy moments, but it's mostly done for fun/laughs.
