You’ve seen them scream, you’ve seen them nude and you’ve seen them die in some truly horrible ways. You may not know them by name, but chances are
if you watched a horror movie made during the 1980s you are familiar with the
work of Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer, the original Scream
Queens of the B-movies. Now, thanks to this fascinating film
from writer/director Jason Paul Collum you get a chance to hear them talk – and
not just scream -- about their careers. The documentary has plenty of clips from
their films that will either be a walk down memory lane for fans or a good
place to start for newcomers, and there are interviews with the men who write
and directed the films to give it all some sort of historical context. It’s the
three very distinct – and very personal -- insights into the world of low
budget horror movies that the ladies provide which gives the movie a lasting
resonance.
