Malone was cast as Jenet Klyburn in "", also directed by Zack Snyder. Her scenes were left out of the theatrical release but included on the "Ultimate Edition" home video release. In February 2015 Malone was cast alongside Elle Fanning in Nicolas Winding Refn's horror film "The Neon Demon", which focuses on an aspiring model in Los Angeles. The film garnered criticism for a scene in which Malone engages in necrophilia. "The Telegraph"s Tim Robey deemed it the "most offensive film of the year" but conceded it was not "any fault of Malone's, who commits herself utterly to making it an anguished, desperate, if inevitably revolting minute or so of screen time. It's a question of context, and how this scene...  slots into the film's overall thesis."
