Grindhouse Girls
While horror babes can take a lot of punishment while grindhouse girls can dish it out.
(1) Christina Lindberg
This Swedish cutie made a big splash in 1974 A Cruel Picture playing a girl put beyond the limits of human endurance who becomes the deadly One-eye. She later stared in Sex and Fury with fellow Grindhouse starlet Reiko Ike. This starlet showed she had the looks and brawn to make an impact to a influence on characters like Elle Driver in Kill Bill.

(2) Meiko Kaji
This grindhouse queen started her career playing the title character Lady Snowblood based on the manga of same name. This chick would give lone Wolf a run for his sword...as an Ice cold killer seeking revenge for the rape of her mother.This was the main inspiration for Rene Oishi from Kill Bill. Kaji also sang the theme song for the movie. She later stared in a women in prison series Female Prisoner 701 Scropion. Packing some deadly blades and a heavenly voice Miss Kaji earns her spot at number 2.
(3) Dyanne Thorne
This Grindhouse queen mainly played the villein in the movies she stared in the most notable is th Isla series where she played a savage camp commander/ dominatrix. With a steely glare and a wicked lust for sex and power she was a grindhouse hottie from hell. She made a slight comeback in the Rob Zombie short Werewolf Women of the S.S in the Grindhouse features and also made a appearance in House of the Devil.
FUBAR Film Review: Slither
Well I had kinda a change of heart about the savage Cinema blog seeing as people really fucking like it I decided to stick with and my Xeno blog.
So what mad cap movie am I going to review? Well with Guardians of the Galaxy coming out I decide to go back and check out James Gunn's wickedly funny splatstick horr/com Slither.
Gunn is a lover of horror cinema having cut his teeth working for Torma Entertainment and scripting the Dawn of the Dead but he only really got out on his own when he took the helm of his first directorial debut in 2006 with Slither.
Set in a sleepy rural community Wheelsey a meteortie carrying a dangerous parasite infects local dickhead Grant Grant (played with wicked glee buy Michael Rooker). It then transforms him into a savage alien being who in turn infects the local town hussy and breed vile slug like parasites which turn the town folk into zombies.
The only thing that stands between the small town and total invasion is police chief Bill Pardy ( Played buy the always excellent Nathan Fillion) What ensues is Gore, laughs and more fucking gore. I'm not shitting you this movie is fucked up and makes not excuse's for it. Gunn made a movie for himself and fans like him. This flick is a throw back to movies like The Fly,The Thing and Night of the Creeps.
And if your not getting sick from the gore then itll be from laughter. Gregg Henry's Mayor MacReady is the fucking bomb...some of the lines he comes out with....The lime disease debate he and Pardy get into is pants pissing funny and with other oddballs characters coming out with lines like "Looks like somthing that fell off my dick during the war!" you know this is a funny fucking flick.
While not up there with Evil Dead or Re-animator is still fucking close. So if your a horror fan and wanna to know what to expect from Gunn Guardians check this flick out.

Cult Horror Hero: Tom Atkins
So some people worry about getting type cast while other's know what their good at and stick with it. Some people are just so good at it and enjoy it they end up making it a fucking art form and thats what Tom Atkins does. He's the Dennis Farina of Horror movies. You need a grizzaled Police captain who fights slashers you get Atkins, you want a gruff police sargent who slays zombies you find Atkins...you need retireing state trooper to track down the devil himself you get Tom fucking Atkin's. The man has made a solid career outta playing pissed off law enforcement members. His first flicks were Halloween 3: Season of the Witch and the Fog.
He later went on to play Detective Lieutenant Frank McCrae in the 1988 cult classic Maniac Cop.
But for me Atkins stand out preformance is in 1986s Night of the Creeps. This movie is batshit but in a good way and Atkins is one of those batshit reason's. He play's detective Ray Cameron who highschool sweet heart was murdered buy a slasher in 1959 but who Ray killed in vengance and buried under what is now a sorority house. To make matters worse a alien parasite has landed near buy and is turning all it infects in zombies including the long rotting corpse of Ray's nemisis. Atkins is the bomb in this movie. He's got one liner's to rivil Bruce Campbell. When ever he arrives at the scene of a crime he growl's "Thrill me!"
He robs a flamethrower from the police station to help our young hero's fight the zombies. When the undead horde descend on the house he's like "Well Ive got good news and bad news girls..the good news is your dates are here! The bad news is their dead!" When the Zombies break in he raises his revolver and sneer's "Its Miller time!" I fucking love this guy. He makes this flick.
Atkins was last seen in Drive Angry as you guessed it a pissed of state trooper captian. The guys fucking great and Id love to see in star in a few more horror movies. The guys a legend and when he's on screen he does what he says best "Thrill me!"

She later appeared in Freddy vs Jason as a doomed tomboy Gibb Smith who becomes the unwitting prey of both Freddy and Jason. Her latest role in American Mary as is amazening as a vengeful medical student who decides in a change of career to make big bucks as an underground body modaficatin surgan. Katherine Isabelle acting is wickedly sexy but also clever. She give's off a vibe of a classic Hammer Horror villainess and thats what wins her the top spot.
(4)MyAnna Buring
I really love this actress and shes fantastic in what shes in but buy christ has she landed in some god awefull turkeys. She play the cute and dippy sam in Neill Marshell savage Descent and later turned up his so-so Sci-fi horror Doomsday. However she went on to appear in such vile horror (in a way the term is fitting but not for the right reasons) movies as Lesbian Vamprie killers, The Devils playground and ( Im going to be sick from mentioning this) Twilight: Breaking Dawn 1 and 2. However This Anglo-Swed beauty has redeemed herself buy appearing in the wickedly suspenseful Killlist and a brillently gothic detective series called Ripper Street set not long after the Jack the Ripper slayings. Myanna your my number 4.
(5)Sheri Moon Zombie
Right this is one crazy cool lady and why not she's only married to Rob Zombie. Sheri has worked on most if not all of her husbands flicks rangeing from The Halloween Remakes but where her crazieness really shines is as Baby Firefly in both House of a 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects. Shes cute, cunny and nuts in these flicks. She later went on to star as a nasty nazie babe in the Grindhouse trailer Werewolf women of the S.S. Sheri continues to work with her fella as her next flicks is lords of Salem out later this year. Sheri your crazy cute ass lands you at number 5 on my list.
Heres my list of ladies to die for.

(2)Lynn Lowry
So if your a fan of 70's horror your bound to have spotted this pixie faced beauty in a least one of the films you've come across. She stared in I Drink your blood. Played a sexy nurse in David Cronrnburg's Shivers and also stared in George.A Romero's the Crazies. She later went on to appear in the remake of both the Cat people the 2010 remake of the Crazies as the woman on the bike in a cameo apperance.
While she never broke out big she is what you'd call a cult star with a girl nextdoor face but worked in roles where she was far from innocent and that's what lands her the number two spot.
(3) Melissa George
So it's hard to belive our next scream queen started off in Home and away but then agien so did Thor and Joker. Milissa first venture in horror was the exellent sci-fi chiller Dark City.She then appeared in the 2005 remake of Amityville Horror. She proved to be hard a nails playing Officer Stella in the movie adaptation of Steve Niles Horror comic 30 Days of Night and earned more praise in the creepy sail'n slash thriller Triangle. Her latest thriller was the 2011 a Lonely place to die where she plays a rescue worker looking for a kidnappped child. With a collection of horror movies like thats its a wonder this Angel (trust me home and away fans will get it) survived and that earn's her number 3.

Sods and Monsters.
Okay Im sure all of us have read Moby Dick and know the gist. Well theres a number of horror movies that have Ahab like old blokes who uselly have a vendetta with the monster/beast in question. 9 times outta 10 theyv lost a loved one from the creature or just like going mano-a-mano with mother nature and they dont care who gets hurt in the process. So heres my top 3 Ahabs of horror movies.
(1) Quint: Jaws.
Robert Shaws Samuel Quint has to be number one. No doubt about it...this salty sea dog is the other thing that chewing scenery besides the fucking shark. Hes gruff, hes mean, you cant make out what hes saying some times but man is he cool. With Quint your always on edge, you like the guy but your never really sure if hes all there.Will he be the death of Hooper and Brody or will the shark be. The stand out momment is when all the guys are having a male bonding momment and Quint recalls when he served on the Indianapolis and the dark tale lets us know how he understands sharks and why he does what he does.
But Quints stand out momment has to be his death even getting devoured buy the movies title beast he dosent go down with out a fight. Driving a Machete into the creature before being dragged to his doom.
A scary end to a scary man.
(2)Jack Taggart, Sr: Jeepers Creepers 2
So your son is capture and killed buy an unkillable creature and your wrecked with grief. How do you cope with the untimely and aweful death? You hunt the fucking thing down that what you do. Ray Wise is fucking kick ass in this role. Hes like a salt of the earth farmer who only good thing in life is his son and then he taken and that it....all bets are off. The guy builds, listen to this Im not shitting you...Home made Harpoon launcher outta a post puncher. I mean someone might call the cops or get a lynch mob together or somthing which dumb rednecks do but no not Farmer Taggert this guy goes evil dead Ahab and makes a harpoon. This thing is bad ass, he mounts it to his pick up and turns farm tools into harpoons. Also he,s fuckeing mental...he uses the bus full of kids as bait and when he does bring down the creeper he mounts it up in his barn and keeps the Harpoon aimed at it waiting for it to wake. Really Ray Wise makes this movie.
(3)Jake Cullen: Razorback
This dear old grandad decides to go fry himself some wild bacon when his grandson is killed buy the savage porker. He nearly culls all the boar population in his area but never finds the Pig that killed his grandson.
When some one asks how dangerous a boar really he reply with one kick ass line that became the movies tag line "It has only two states of being dangerous or dead, there is no inbetween" When he finally confronts the Razorback things dont work out the way he wished and he ends up on the wrong side of the beasts tusks. Still Jake gave our heros enough info to defeat the big boar and get some form of revenge from himself and his grandson.
So what have we learned. Sure mother natures not to be messed with but there are some parents and grandparents that are even meaner then her.
