“Californication” bad girl Madeline Zima is set to topline writer/director Matt Winn’s British frightener Storage. The 25-year-old starlet will play a woman who learns a terrifying secret when she’s trapped in an underground storage facility with a group of strangers.

Zima broke into Hollywood at the age of six in the 1992 Rebecca De Mornay thriller The Hand That Rocked the Cradle. Since then she has only starred in a couple of horror flicks: the direct-to-DVD thriller Trance and Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton’s gruesome slasher The Collector.

She is best known, however, for her roles as sexy teen plagiarist Mia Lewis on Showtime’s “Californication” and Gretchen Berg, Hayden Panettiere’s bisexual roommate, on NBC’s “Heroes.”
