In 2009, Viva Films founder Vic del Rosario intended to cast Reyes in a raunchy horror film titled Patient X, but stopped short of making the film sexually explicit in order for it to be allowed exhibition in the cinemas of SM Supermalls.{{cite news|last=Miralles|first=Nitz|title=Cristine mahirap gawan ng bold film|url=https://www.philstar.com/pilipino-star-ngayon/showbiz/428400/cristine-mahirap-gawan-ng-bold-film|access-date=September 17, 2022|work=Pilipino Star Ngayon|publisher=Philstar Global Corp.|date=January 3, 2009|language=English, Filipino|quote="Boss Vic has great faith in Cristine Reyes becoming popular because she's already beautiful, already sexy, yet she can act well too. He intends to give a sexy-horror project to her, not a bold movie because it won't be shown in SM Cinemas.}}
She made her breakthrough as a scorned wife in her lead film, No Other Woman (2011), co-starring Anne Curtis and Derek Ramsay. It was one of the highest-grossing film in the Philippines in 2011. Her film career is currently managed by the film company Viva Films.
