She made her film debut in Varsity Blues (1999), which was followed by the horror film House on Haunted Hill (1999).

Her role as Clear Rivers in the first two films of the Final Destination franchise earned her a reputation as a scream queen.

She played the dual roles of Niki Sanders and Tracy Strauss on the NBC science fiction drama Heroes (2006–2010) and achieved wider recognition for her portrayal of video game heroine Claire Redfield in the Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016).

As of April 2017, Larter's films have grossed over US$1.31 billion worldwide.

Her presence in the media is reinforced by her appearances in lists compiled by Maxim, FHM and Stuff, as well as People magazine's "Best Dressed List" in 2007.

She released her cookbook, Kitchen Revelry: A Year of Festive Menus from My Home to Yours, in September 2013.

From 2019 to 2020, Larter played the recurring role of Grace Sawyer in the police procedural series The Rookie.

In 2024, the Paramount+ series Landman, she plays a “cartoonish” funny caricature of a gold-digging ex-wife.
