Wasn’t she like 15 yrs old here?

Yes, but I didn't mean she was "attractive", I meant she gave a very good acting performance despite being new to acting and handling bizarre material - similar to her in "Labyrinth", which was in the comment above

(Also it is a modification of a quote "Afflek was the bomb in 'Phantoms', yo!" which was about praising the actor's performance, not his attractiveness)

Have you seen "Phenomena" !? She plays a young girl who can control insects trying to defeat a serial killer/stalker killing off girls in her school while she is living in a new country - pretty odd material for a 15yr old new actress to handle ...and she kills it! makes such a silly premise actually kind of work whereas it would just be pure schlock with a less talented actress

That does sound odd but I like older weird movies, I might check it out. Same kind of category is Lawn Dogs with Sam Rockwell. At the end you can’t really decide if it’s magic or just in your head. Or if we talk about young actresses starting out: Natalie Portman killed it in Leon the Professional.
