She played Ashley Juergens, younger sister of teen mother Amy Juergens.[citation needed]
In the 2012 film Underworld: Awakening, Eisley was cast as Eve, the hybrid daughter of Selene and Michael Corvin; Eisley was cast due to her strong resemblance to Selene's actress, Kate Beckinsale.[citation needed]

Eisley starred as Sawa in the 2014 action film Kite, opposite Samuel L. Jackson.[citation needed] In late 2014, she filmed Social Suicide (2015), a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet, appearing with her real-life mother Hussey, who played Mrs. Coulson, with Eisley playing her daughter, Julia.[6]

In 2017, she starred in the Netflix original film Clinical.[9] In 2018, Eisley played the lead role of Maria / Airam in the psychological thriller film Look Away.[10][11]
Author Jessica Brody expressed a desire for Eisley to portray her character Seraphina in the film adaptation of her novel Unremembered. Hollywood casting director Michelle Levy was first to recommend Eisley for the role.[12][13]
In 2019, Eisley starred as Fauna Hodel in the six-part limited series I Am the Night,[14] which is based on Hodel's memoir, One Day She'll Darken.
