In her next film, Cuthbert starred with Paris Hilton and Chad Michael Murray in the 2005 remake of the horror film House of Wax. House of Wax was largely panned, critics citing a range of flaws. It was called "notable for having some of the most moronic protagonists ever to populate a horror film", though of those characters, critics tended to think Cuthbert "did the best". Though it received negative reviews the film was a box office success, which grossed $70 million worldwide.{{Cite web|url=https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/House-of-Wax-(2005)|title=House of Wax (2005) - Financial Information|website=The Numbers}} The Houston Chronicle cited Cuthbert as an exception.{{Cite news|url=https://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ae/movies/reviews/3169530.html|title=House of Wax|access-date=7 September 2007|work=Houston Chronicle|date=5 August 2005|first=Bruce|last= Westbrook|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080329034509/http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ae/movies/reviews/3169530.html|archive-date=29 March 2008|url-status=live}} Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said of the film, "Elisha Cuthbert's matter-of-fact, likable quality helps.

Cuthbert digs into the role of Carly with strength, determination, and horrified realism; you believe as you watch her that she is going through these things and forget all about the actor playing the part, which is the biggest compliment of all.{{cite web|url=http://themovieboy.com/reviews/h/05_houseofwax.htm|title=Dustin Putman's Review – House of Wax (2005) – [TheMovieBoy]|access-date=11 June 2016}} Brian Orndorf of Filmjerk.com said: "[Paris] Hilton ... only plays her known personality in the film.

Cuthbert's next film was the indie film The Quiet. She was a co-star and co-producer. She played Nina, a 17-year-old cheerleader who is sexually abused by her father. Cuthbert looked to her younger cousin as her inspiration in portraying a teenager.{{Cite web|url=http://www.indielondon.co.uk/film/house_wax_cuthbert.html|title=House of Wax – Elisha Cuthbert interview|access-date=7 September 2007|website=indieLondon.co.uk|year=2005|first=Jack|last=Foley}} The Quiet, distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, premiered at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival and received a limited release in Los Angeles and New York City on 25 August 2006{{cite web|title=The Quiet (2005)|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_quiet/?beg=0&int=65&creamcrop_limit=27&page=all|work=Rotten Tomatoes|access-date=28 September 2012}} before expanding regionally in the US on September 1.

You look at Elisha, this beautiful woman with the most perfect body you've ever seen, and you think, there's no high school in America where this girl could be invisible. No matter how much hair and makeup I do, it's not going to happen." The Daily Californian conceded that "Despite the plot's failings, Cuthbert does a convincing job in her role, exuding an outer shell so tough that when her inner, softer layers emerge, it's a natural change of character.{{cite web|url=http://www.dailycal.org/article/21125/_the_quiet_has_no_cruel_intentions_but_it_s_still_|title='The Quiet' Has No 'Cruel Intentions,' But It's Still Trite – The Daily Californian|access-date=11 June 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081008023521/http://www.dailycal.org/article/21125/_the_quiet_has_no_cruel_intentions_but_it_s_still_|archive-date=8 October 2008}} Empire Movies agreed, commenting "this is Elisha Cuthbert's best film performance to date. Cuthbert's Nina has the majority of the most graphic and disturbing dialogue in the film, especially during one particular lunchroom scene where the camera is close up on Cuthbert and Belle's faces."
