Top Vengeful Female?
 
Vengeful females have long played a role in cinema, especially the darker side of film. There's plenty of great examples and many of which have been icons!

With the upcoming release of [REC] Genesis - featuring a Bride taking out her revenge on hordes of flesh-eating infected - here's a thread to discuss your favourite vengeful females.

Take a look at this countdown of my top 5 for some ideas...

Revenge of the Vengeful Females!

Also, awesome I Spit On Your Grave artwork...

Vengeful females?

Can I add myself to that list?

Believe me, you do NOT want to get on my bad side!

Gojirosan 23rd July 2012 03:20 PM

ARGH!

I can't bear seeing Kill Bill referred to as a "masterpiece"!

Slippery Jack 23rd July 2012 03:20 PM

No question...

Nope, I think it's absolute rubbish. But even if you are a fan, surely nobody sees it as a "masterpiece"? Chinatown is a masterpiece, Citizen Kane is a masterpiece, Once Upon A Time In The West is a masterpiece, Les Yeux Sans Visage is a masterpiece, you could argue Suspiria or The Wicker Man or Dirty Harry are masterpieces...but Kill Bill? KILL BILL? Come on! Really?

Cheers. Took an age to do, but I think it's my favourite of the stuff I've done . . .

(Chinatown is not a masterpiece! Just like Don't Look Now isn't! :p )

You're right though, Kill Bill isn't exactly a masterpiece, but it's still pretty damn freakin' good. 'Masterpiece' does get thrown around quite a bit, mainly by me :doh:

I have a soft spot for *blankety blank* in Argento's "Trauma". :nod:

DLN is probably in my top 5 of all time. Chinatown is far from my favourite Polanski though . . .

Slippery Jack 23rd July 2012 03:49 PM

I thought Inglourious Basterds was miles better than Kill Bill... that had a vengeful female too. My vote goes to the French cinema chick :lol: . . .

Tut tut tu, I thought better of you SJ :nono:

(I'm kidding pal, I know I'm in the minority when it comes to DLN)

Meiko Kaji in Lady Snowblood (the first one in the series is the best).

Sissy Spacek in Carrie. The movies climax gave me goose bumps first time i saw it.

Christina Lindberg in Thriller

Well...I suppose it was better than Kill Bill...still pretty much rubbish though! :lol:

I lent my DVD of it to someone knowing full well I'd never get it back. Once was more than enough for Inglourious Basterds!

Nah! I find it gets better on repeat viewings. Hugely enjoyable stuff, where Kill Bill gets bogged down by too many plot diversions . . .

Mattie Ross in True Grit, certainly a vengeful female.

Its rumoured MS.45 is also about a vengeful female. ;)

CITIZEN KANE is overrated and boring, not a fan of CHINATOWN, THE WICKER MAN and SUSPIRIA are masterpieces, esp the latter
KILL BILL esp vol.1 is a brilliant film full of scenes Tarantino pays homage to from other films
After all is there one film yet that is completely original from him?
Nevertheless KB is excellent and ****ing entertaining
