Renée Zellweger is out to prove it's not just in comedies and dramas that she shines: she's just signed to appear in Hollywood horror movie called Case 39.

According to movie insiders, Renée will play a social worker who discovers something rather sinister about an abused 10-year-old she's trying to save. However, die-hard fans of the Oscar-winning star will note this isn't the first time she's had us hiding behind the sofa: she also took a turn in 1994's The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
