It was not until her second big-screen acting role, in the 2005 remake of ''[[The Amityville Horror]]'' that she earned greater recognition in the form of a Young Artist Award nomination. After Amityville, Moretz's acting career progressed further when she received several guest-starring roles on TV, as well as a role as one of the family children in ''Big Mommas House 2''. Among the most notable of her TV roles to date are Candy Stoker in an episode of ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'', and Sherri Maltby in ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''. Moretz also voiced the U.S. version of the animated character Darby in ''[[Winnie the Pooh|My Friends Tigger & Pooh]]''. After her first film premiere in ''[[The Amityville Horror]]'', she has been a frequent guest at film premieres. She has an interest in fashion, and often wears clothes in her own distinctive style.
 
In 2010, Moretz appeared as Hit-Girl in director Matthew Vaughn's superhero film ''[[Kick-Ass (film)|Kick-Ass]]'', based on the graphic novel of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr., for which she has received widespread critical acclaim. Moretz trained with [[Jackie Chan]] and his stunt crew for three months prior to filming ''Kick-Ass'' and did most of her own stunts while filming on location. Also that year, she played Abby, a 12-year-old vampire, in ''[[Let Me In]]'', the American [[Remake]] of the Swedish film ''[[Let the Right One In]]'', which was released on October 1, 2010. On March 30, 2010 Moretz was cast as little Ann in the psychological thriller ''The Fields''.
 
Moretz's projects for 2011 include playing the role of Isabelle in ''[[Hugo]]'', and ''[[Hick]]'', an adaptation of the novel by Andrea Portes. She portrayed Carolyn Stoddard in [[Tim Burton]]'s 2012 film adaption of 1960s gothic soap opera ''[[Dark Shadows (film)|Dark Shadows]]'', and starred in a remake of horror classic ''[[Carrie]]'' in 2013. In addition to assorted [[The Cameo|cameos]] and short subjects, her primary film for 2014 appears to be ''[[If I Stay]]'', in which she plays a girl in a coma after an auto accident, who must decide during an extended out-of-body experience whether or not she wants to continue living.
