Despite having a famous dad and auntie, Emma Roberts has carved her place in America’s heart as one of the most loved stars. Hype Auditor says that Emma Roberts has 20.7 million followers on Instagram alone, a testament to her popularity. While Roberts is involved in many activities, acting puts her on the map of the who’s who in Hollywood. Here are four Emma Roberts films and shows you should watch.
1: American Horror Story
Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story has been around for a decade, garnering a Golden Globe and global recognition. It ranks number 2 on IMDb’s list of Emma Roberts’s best movies and TV shows. According to Screen Rant, Emma Roberts has appeared in multiple seasons and featured in more than 46 episodes.
She plays Madison Montgomery, a rebellious but powerful witch with witty comebacks and endless quotes. Roberts’ characters in the show are often multi-layered, adding suspense to the show. If anthologies, supernatural, and horror themes interest you, you’ll enjoy Emma’s performance throughout the show.
2: We are The Millers
Released in 2013, We Are the Millers is a comedy film that follows a small-time drug dealer who has to create a fake family to smuggle drugs into the USA. Emma Roberts plays the role of Casey, a homeless girl, alongside Jennifer Aniston and Will Poulter. The three ‘fake’ family members embark on a road trip filled with comedic moments. Emma Roberts brought a mix of sass and humor to the film. She has incredible chemistry with her co-stars, which adds to the movie’s overall charm. Not only was the movie praised for its comedy, but it was a box-office success, too.
3: Scream Queens
Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk must have been impressed by Emma’s performance in AHS because they gave her another role in Scream Queens. Like AHS, Scream Queens is a horror-comedy anthology series set on a college campus where murders happen. Emma Roberts plays Chanel Oberlin, the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority president. Oberlin is witty, fashion-forward, and often cruel. Oberlin’s evolution throughout the series makes it a worthy watch, especially if you like horror-themed comedies.
4: Nerve
Emma has had incredible performances in thriller and horror films and TV shows. Nerve is a film released in 2016 and directed by Henry Joost. Emma Roberts plays the main character, Vee Delmonico, who participates in an online reality game called Nerve. Vee has to complete increasingly dangerous dares to win money and thrills. Vee’s character evolution from a cautious teen to a gamer will keep you on edge throughout the film.
Wrapping Up
Daughter and nephew to famous actors, you’d be mistaken to think Emma Roberts has been hanging in the shadow of her family’s fame and success. Instead, Roberts carved her niche in Hollywood, making her mark in thrillers and horror films. AHS, Nerve, We Are the Millers, and Scream Queens are only part of her incredible performances.
