Alice Englert is an actress who has been making a name for herself over the last eighteen months, and she is an actress to watch out for over the next couple of years.
Englert is back on the big screen this week as she teams up with fellow rising star Iain De Caestecker for new horror movie In Fear; the movie marks the big screen debut of director Jeremy Lovering.
Englert kicked off her acting career back in 2006 when she appeared in short movies The Water Dairy and Flame of the West.
She made her big screen debut two years later in 2008, when she landed the role of Ziggy in The Water Diary segment of 8.
Since then the actress hasn’t looked back as roles in Ginger & Rosa and Beautiful Creatures followed. Ginger & Rosa saw the young actress team up with Elle Fanning and director Sally Porter.
This coming of age drama is set to a backdrop of a possible nuclear war, and boasts two great performances from Englert and Fanning. Ginger & Rosa played well on the festival circuit back in 2012 and won over critics as well as audiences.
Beautiful Creatures saw Englert so a little more mainstream as Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl’s teen novel of the same name was adapted for the big screen.
The movie saw Englert team up with director Richard LaGravenese for the first time, while Alden Ehrenreich, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis and Emma Thompson made up a super cast list.
Despite the great cast and the popularity of the novel Beautiful Creatures struggled at the box office and failed to win over the critics. The movie had originally been tipped as a possible replacement for the Twilight Saga, but it was unable to recreate that success and excitement.
This week Englert is back as she tackles the horror genre with In Fear - a movie that is one of the British films to watch out for this autumn.
Driving, lost and tormented in the night, primal fears of the dark and the unknown give way to fear that you have let the evil in, or that it is already there.
And we will be seeing Englert back on the big screen next year as she has will team up with Josh Hartnett for Singularity. The movie is directed by Roland Joffe, and will also see Tamsin Egerton and Andrea Deck on the cast list.
Englert will also be moving into television for the first time in 2014 as she is set to appear in Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
Set in 19th-century during the Napoleonic Wars, tells us about magic once existing which would return again with two men.
The actress will take on the role of Lady Pole, while Ariyon Bakare, Peter Bowles and Bertie Carvel are all also on board.
Alice Englert is one of the rising young stars in film at the moment and she is definitely a name to watch out for.
In Fear is released 15th November.
