She furthered her acting career by appearing as an extra in various films such as Die Another Day (2002), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Rabbit Fever (2006). Horiuchi is a friend of Tim Burton in real life, which led to her being cast in his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory film.

Horiuchi also had a small role in Thor: The Dark World (2013) as an esteemed guest who bows to Odin in the throne room, and as an Asgardian physician who is treating Jane Foster.[1][2]

Horiuchi starred in The Grudge 3 (2009) as Kayako Saeki, the vengeful ghost of the Ju-on series (called "The Grudge"), taking over for Takako Fuji who had passed on the role. Her performance received a mixed, if not muted, response.[3][4][5]
