Movie Name : Howling II
Actress Name : Sybil Danning and Marsha Hunt
Character Name : Stirba and Mariana
Year : 1985


In 1985 movie Howling II. Actress Sybil Danning and Marsha Hunt plays as villainess Stirba and Mariana.

This is a movie I watch for the first time, for Sybil Danning, I hope it's fun...

The movie starts with what I think an introduction of our villainess? Like Stefan played by Christopher Lee saying "The inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with her blood." Like is he talking about Sekhmet or Jesus Christ? Because Jesus is the reverse of Sekhmet artistically, Sekhmet the one that was thirsty for human blood, and was offered wine to trick her, while Jesus offered his blood to humans, Sekhmet was sent to punish humans, Jesus was sent to save them, Jesus Christ is The Great Sphinx, the reverse and the opposite of Sekhmet, he is the guardian of the dead, like The Sphinx was for the pharaohs, so he was basically the manifestation of Sekhmet and her reverse in the other life, Christianity rejected the worldly gods, the goddess of science, art, and music, and only kept The Heavenly Father, Yeah, the sun circle around both the head of Jesus Christ and Sekhmet isn't a random coincidence, In my opinion it's possible that Christianity evolved from such philosophy, basically, if Sekhmet is the worldly goddess and her reverse is the heavenly god, maybe we should reject the worldly goddess and disobey her in order to please the heavenly god, which resulted in the idea of Satan, the idea that humans should either suffer in the worldly realm or suffer in the heavenly realm, which explain monasticism..

The acting in this movie is so funny, minutes ago, you have Christopher Lee, a very serious actor with a very serious performance, then just after him the movie go to the night club when someone says "Hey, what's with you, man? Can't you see she's a lady?" in the most fake way possible.. 

Around 9 minutes mark, Mariana took a group of people, and holy shit, that was bloody, and the practical effects are insane, the concept of werewolves in this movie is basically like vampires, only they can be in the light..

Watching movies from the 80s is insane, you are watching something took place 40 years ago, it's like travelling in time, it's priceless, especially if it's a good movie, you have never seen..

Watching the movie around 15 minutes thinking that Christopher Lee will break the fourth wall and look to me seriously saying "I know I'm too good for this movie" LOL..


Poor Erle died around 25 minutes..

We see Mariana around 28 minutes, and it's insane, You basically just saw brutally devouring multiple people, and she looks absolutely gorgeous, should you love her or hate her, run away from her or towards her, a character with godly power, the eye of Ra, you both attracted to her and repulsed by her, the way earth attracted and repulsed to the sun..    

The villains started their evil rituals around 32 minutes, this is a well-made scene, the scene contain frames with Saturn Devouring His Son painting, this is extremely artistic..

We then see the gorgeous Stirba around 33 minutes..

This scene is so beautiful I'm gonna cry, the way she undress her robe to show how beautiful she is, is like a butterfly coming out from chrysalis, to show that she got another life and rebirth.. 

You basically are watching Stirba a very hot scene with Mariana then suddenly the scene is cut and you see Stefan in front of you, with his seriousness, it give you "Your father entered the room as you are watching the scene", that's a great jump scare LOL!!

Stefan would be a great comedy character, it can inspire a great comedy characters on the like of Dr. Rumack in Airplane!

It's hard to decide which Sybil Danning's movie I like more is it Hercules or this one, because I'm having fun watching both and the two are completely different characters..

We see Stirba again around 48 minutes having some werewolfy fun..

We see her again around 52 minutes with this insanely attractive outfit, the way she sits on the chair elegantly is very interesting..

 I don't know, if a 10 thousand year old goddess exist in real life, I would probably worship her, I would absolutely worship Stirba if she actually existed, if not because she's so gorgeous, she probably more trustworthy to follow from billions of people who don't have as much knowledge of the world as her..

   

Around 56 minutes Mariana said "Let me kill him" and I burst out laughing..

I love Sybil Danning, whenever she plays a villainess, she's always awesome and I love this movie..

Around 1 hour, a petty villain was assaulting a poor girl, and Stirba kind of saved her, and maybe her men ate him, then she uses her to lure the hero..

The werewolves having another wild party around 1 hour 8 minutes, and the heroes are gonna ruin it now LOL..

There's absolutely no woman in the world as beautiful as Stirba, I would do anything to be with her.. How come someone watch this movie and give it anything but 10/10 score, like, have you seen anyone as beautiful as Stirba?!

It's like when Nizar Qabbani was expressing his love and the contradictory nature of love, he was describing her when he said:

"I hate her... and yet I long for her.

And I love my hatred for her..

I love the malice in her eyes, and the falsehood in her words.

Her eyes, like a wolf's, are deceitful.

The devil has taken up residence in her pupils,

And lust has extinguished her reason.

If she hugs me, she breaks my ribs,

And pour her venom upon my mouth."

what the poet is describing here is so being in love that the word love can't describe the intensity of the feeling, that's why he trying to describe his lover as a villainess that whenever she hugs him, he became helpless as if ribs became broken and losing every ability on resistance, and that's how Stirba, you know she's a villainess, you know you should hate her, but because how gorgeous she is, the mixture of feelings of attraction and repulsion create a higher intense feeling of not just being attracted to her, you are passionate about her, that you would even die to be with her, that's how great such character is..

The practical effects around 1 hour 18 minutes is insanely good, I don't care if it looks like a dummy, but I would prefer this every time over CGI..

I think the final confrontation around 1 hour 20 minutes..

Stirba says "Finally, we met again", if I were there all I would be thinking about "I'm so in love with you, I would be a werewolf to be with you" LOL..

There are some awesome 80s movies, that was fun..

I consider being able to like villains is the ultimate measurement of any free society, and also that characters like Stirba is the highest form of art, and without it, you are headed towards a dark age, where not only art, but science and religious freedom become at risk as well in a multicultural society which Egypt was, and it sustained a system that lasted for thousands of years, till Christianity came and it turned it into a lifeless empire that can only run by coercion, which ended with it imploding under the unsolved contradictions, villains also important to replace the unsolved contradictions only in a fictional space not a real one, that's what escapism is, replacing the real contradictions the empires faced historically with fictional contradictions, and even the leaders can share their followers such fictional contradictions, this can't be replaced with AI, I never experienced any contradictions with anything made with AI, and even when using the AI to create stories, you will never experience a contradiction with a story made..

Why this movie isn't one of the greatest movies of all time? And why Sybil Danning isn't the greatest actress of all time? It's full of contradictions and still being able to achieve escapism and immersion, the contradiction that the hero isn't like Rambo so you automatically admire, the villainess is insanely beautiful, the contradiction between the seriousness Christopher Lee and the absurdity of some other scenes, it's very rare to find movie like that, let alone how it basically an early movie towards the vampire genre, it also has some elements that led to Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn, so I don't care, Sybil Danning is one of the greatest actresses of all time.

Let me tell another thing about how great this movie is, you have multiple villains, Mariana and Vlad, who once they met put their medals together as if they are in love, then ended in love afterwards, you have Stirba, who is absolutely breathtaking, you also feel bad for Erle, only one villain doesn't have contradictions, and it's Tondo, Tondo's character is made, and a character that have no contradictions is always be a character you end up hating or at least have apathy towards it, you would never want to watch this character again, it's one of the worst characters ever..

There are two things that I wouldn't trade them with any other hobbies, movies and reading, not into games, if I ever played a game, it would be probably chess, other than that, it's very rare for me to play a game, movies for me are unreplaceable, movies with mythology, villains and escapism are absolutely awesome.. I don't know how to watch a movie if not for the villains, maybe if it's comedy, maybe if I would watch something tragic and very dark, then it's the reverse of a villainess, Frankenstein, just below that if an actress played a villainess then had her own movie, because I would want to see her on screen for the longest time possible, and that would make me want to watch a movie starring her, even if I wouldn't watch the movie otherwise..

Movie Name : (Pri)sons
Actress Name : Veera W. Vilo
Character Name : Koch
Year : 2024


In 2024 movie (Pri)sons. Actress Veera W. Vilo plays as villainess Koch.

I guess Juha Kaivola is the protagonist of the movie and was hired to be a security guard of a night club!!

We first see our gorgeous villainess around 16 minutes mark 😍😍😍😍.

Hollyshit, the blood in this movie, around 19 minutes Juha was hit on the head with a box, usually you don't see blood at all when that happen, but damn, this movie doesn't shy from blood, the blood poured of the top of his head right away..

We see Koch again around 24 minutes sitting at the bar..

Ok, never watch this movie while you're eating, after eating, or before eating..
Koch nodded to other villains to start the attack around 27 minutes..

Hell, the blood in this movie, this isn't a movie for someone who is sensitive to seeing blood, the effects are mostly practical, and the movie doesn't shy from using as much blood as needed..
The practical effects in the movie are over the top, but the story itself is basically typical action. 
I would say if you are sensitive towards seeing blood on screen, just know this movie got a lot of that..
Around 37 minutes Koch takes out the gatekeeper of the club, it's very short tho, I hope the scene was longer..
Around 44 minutes Koch put the head of the security out of his misery, god, I love the way she looks in this scene, also, as usually it was bloody, if the universe this movie taking place in had vampires, this club would smell to them like a Kebab shop..

Around 56 minutes a poor woman happened to be in Koch's path, and it didn't ended badly for her..
Koch is heartless, and I love how she acted in this scene as if she was lady terminator..
I don't remember the last time I've seen such villainess that extremely evil, merciless, heartless while at the same time extremely gorgeous and beautiful.. 
We have a confrontation between Koch with another villain vs the heroes around 1 hour 8 minutes..
The final confrontation starts around 1 hour 23 minutes, and it's long and as expected from the theme of the movie, it's bloody..
This movie is one of the bloodiest movies of the decade, if you want a movie that breaks most censorship rule in the west, the gore, the fights, the idea that the movie isn't boring from start to finish, and you can have fun watching it, the movie breaks all these rules..
If you are into early 2000s horror movies, and want to watch some action horror, and love practical effects, you will love this movie, if you are feeling bored and want to keep your mind busy for couple of hours, they will go like this, you will love this movie, but if you are sensitive towards practical blood effects, be aware that this movie has a lot of it..

Movie Name : Vampire in Vegas
Actress Name : Rocky DeMarco and Delia Sheppard
Character Name : Shayla and VanHelm
Year : 2009


In 2009 movie Vampire in Vegas. Actresses Melissa Brasselle AKA Rocky DeMarco and Delia Sheppard play as villains Shayla and Dr VanHelm.

I was curious why IMDB use the name Rocky DeMarco instead of Melissa Brasselle, and apparently Rocky DeMarco is the name the actress prefer to use to honor her mother, which is cool.

The movie starts with narration with the voice of Tony Todd who is playing Sylvian in the movie, RIP, Tony Todd 💔💔💔.

We see our gorgeous evil doctor around 8 minutes..

It's amazing we are getting a decent screen time of Dr VanHelm in this movie..

This movie is stupid, if not for the villainess, I would never watch LOL..

Around 29 minutes Shayla gives a dance show to a group of young men, then left her card..

Wow, Miranda Kwok in this movie, what a nice surprise!! 

Around 41 minutes, the night club vampires started attacking the young men who went there after Shayla left the card for them..

This movie is so random, like, are these guys are supposed to be essential to the story!

In movies like these, when Tony Todd make you smile the smile always comes with a heavy impulsion to cry, it's a weird feeling, the character is funny, but at the same time, you know the actor you used to enjoy watching for a long time, and used to see on screen, is no longer with us, it's weird heavy feeling..

The movie started to be really good as a comedy..

Around 1 hour 2 minutes we see Dr VanHelm as she was about to lethally inject the hero after she extracted the serum from him, but was interrupted by Detective Stanton and Detective O'Hara, as the two detective were about to save the hero, thankfully Shayla was there to stop them to make sure VanHelm's evil plans aren't interrupted.

Then Dr VanHelm died in the most stupid way possible by Shayla LOL..

The hero's vampire face around 1 hour 13 minutes is hilarious.. 

It's so bad it's good movie, and should be seen like that, I kind of watch it as a comedy TBH, and it's not boring, VanHelm is my favorite character in this movie, she's so gorgeous, absolute goddess..

Movie Name : The Forsaken
Actress Name : Phina Oruche and Alexis Thorpe
Character Name : Cym and Teddy
Year : 2001

In 2001 movie The Forsaken. Actresses Phina Oruche and Alexis Thorpe play as villains Cym and Teddy. Cym is one of my favorite villainesses of all time, I would die to be with her, I love this character so much, It's amazing that Phina Oruche still performing till today, and I really hope the entertainment industry recover and see anything as good or even close to how it was in 1990s and 2000s, sadly the entire genres of vampires, werewolves, demons basically doesn't exist, I can't even imagine how boring movies would be for someone who never explored such movies, fiction must be bleak, depressing and extremely boring exactly like The Neverending Story II, the scene with Rockbiter surronded with lifeless piece of land, being very dark and depressing, it's very scary, The Neverending Story was made for children, but when you grow up you understand how terrifying his vision was, and that's where the entertainment is at the moment, in the most lifeless, depressing, soulless stage it its history, and to be fair, it's not just entertainment, most jobs that require human creativity are now at risk, there's an actual risk that everything humanity struggled to build just go away as if it meant nothing..


Anyway, let's start the movie, let's have some fun, It's been a really long time since I watched this movie, so, I basically don't remember what was it about, it feels like I'm watching it for the first time.

I assume the movie have a similar plot to Wrong Turn, like the idea of going somewhere in some place you weren't supposed to be, which is kind why I think smart phones or portable phones as a whole should never exist in movies, because it ruin everything, like the idea of the existence of smartphones and modern tech ruin movies, it's better to pretend it doesn't exist, because if it does exist, the immersion in the story will be destroyed, because the reaction would be like this "How come no one knows and smart phones everywhere?" "How come they don't use the smartphone to call someone?", "How come the location is isolated while there's smart phones?". The story will be completely ruined, there's no escapism, there's no immersion, unless high tech is essential to the story in movies like Unfriended, Unfriended: Dark Web, or Searching, it shouldn't exist at all.

Ok, that was really smart, around 6 minutes, the protagonist was on the road, and a sitting on the car next to him took off her shirt, the protagonist kept tracking her car and suddenly the car vanished.. Here's why this is really smart, the movie is basically building anticipation, it gets your attention, it knows you will focus on the moment, it basically put you in the shoes of the hero, so, when the hero pay attention to the car, you also pay attention to it, and when the car disappears, you became as confused as the protagonist..
Villains can easily build such anticipation, for example, one of my favorite villainesses of all time is Meghan in Cyberjack, in one scene, one of her team was injured, being so stunning, you are anticipating what she's gonna do, she got your whole attention, and suddenly instead of helping him, she finish him, similar thing in The Walking Dead when Negan first appeared, before that you have no idea who he is, then you see him, showing insane charisma, a great writing and delivery, the character gets your full attention, all of that in order to build anticipation for what's to come, that's how when you have a really good villainous character, you build such anticipation that would require much efforts to build with a heroic character, while with villains, it's a piece of cake.. And without such buildup of anticipation, you can't have immersion in the story, you can't have escapism, all is left is boredom, which is the case with movies today..

I totally forgot, there are two female villains in this movie not one, the other villainess is Teddy played by Alexis Thorpe..
Damn, Alexis Thorpe was in The Man from Earth, Nip/Tuck and Friends, nice Filmography..

Anyway, the heroes encountered the villains around 16 minutes mark, and the villains let them go, even tho Cym sensed that one of them is a vampire hunter I guess.

The heroes found the good girl scared and the waitress asking her to pay her bill and he decided to pay it for her, so, when our beloved villainess asked them for money they said they didn't give it to her, and instead give it to the one in need? What an asshole!!


Around 26 minutes, Teddy went to invite a group of campers to a meal with her and her friends, isn't she the greatest?! 😍😍😍 

God damn, the main villain ripped the heart out of one of the campers, and another one of the campers shot his dick by mistake, LOL, the best scene of the movie till now, very short tho, It should've lasted longer, it feels weird as if it was cut short..

I guess Teddy died around 34 minutes, it came out of nowhere, as if something was missing..

Around 47 minutes, our villains went in a car chase after the heroes..
The only thing that make this movie worth watching is Cym, other than that, having three vampires spending the whole movie chasing three people isn't really fun, even when they went after the campers, it was very short in comparison of how the movie takes so much time focus on the heroes yapping and in their hotel room and on the road, like these scenes should've build towards something instead of wasting time and work as a filler for a movie that doesn't have much to offer.

Anyway, around 50 minutes our villainess is having fun with the main villain of the movie, and finally we see couple of dudes in their car and being stopped by the gorgeous villainess, I mean, come on, who can resist her?
Like, wouldn't you love to fight the gods and whole of humanity to win her over, even if it will unleash her evil on the world? Can you imagine playing a game where you fight all the gods, but not to win over the good princess, on the contrary, releasing the most dangerous and the most beautiful vampire in existence, and when you do, you kiss your lost love and humanity awaits its dark fate, The Mummy kind of did that, except that Anck Su Namun wasn't actually evil, and Imhotep already had superpowers and love story, like, he wasn't a normal person worshiping a dark entity and want to win over such dark entity.

   The vampires killed the two random guys who were in the car, I'm not sure if this movie was meant to be originally a vampire movie, like if they want to drink their blood, shouldn't they keep them fresh, instead of killing them first then drink their blood, it's also a waste, if they don't care about wasting their food, how about other vampires who face a really hard time to hunt, especially new vampires, like, do these vampires only think about themselves, the food they have wasted could've fed entire family of vampires!!

The girl the two heroes trying to save is one of the most forgettable characters ever, I kind of forget that she exist, then I see her, and go like "Wait, she's in the movie", and she is supposed to be the center of the story and the audience is supposed to care about her, so if any main character died, they go like "At least the good girl was saved by the end", but it's not the case, if she died, I wouldn't even notice, like, please, Cym, kill her already, less screen time for her please!

So, basically Teddy had the chance to kill her, but she didn't, she's the one that caused all these troubles, and now Kit and Cym have to fix her mistake 😠😠😠.

Around 1 hour 10 minutes, Kit and Cym attacked the motel the heroes are in, and the last confrontation starts from there..

I wouldn't watch the movie, or rewatch the movie if not for the villainess, because I watched it for the first time even tho, I didn't know there was a villainess in it, but the movie is interesting, the movie doesn't even address the idea that vampires effected by the cross at any point, also the idea of wooden stake, they just drink blood and have a weak point when it comes to being exposed to the sun, the vampires also don't show superpowers, I'm not sure when it started for vampires to be able move really fast, but I first noticed it in The Vampire Diaries, the movie also didn't show if vampires have the power of mind compulsion, like when the main villain forced some dude to do what he wanted, he used a gun to do it, it's like having vampires with there supernatural abilities and characteristics reduced to the minimum. My favorite characters in this movie are Kit and Cym, I wish Teddy played more active role, but she was mainly a plot device to show that sun works as a weak point for vampires and to show that they are vampires, which was a waste, her character deserved more.

Overall the movie is so fun to watch, and you will never find modern movie as good, especially if you are into the action/vampire genre.

Movie Name : Ghost Ship
Actress Name : Francesca Rettondini
Character Name : Francesca
Year : 2002


In 2002 movie Ghost Ship. Actress Francesca Rettondini plays as villainess Francesca. Not the first time to watch the movie, but it's a great movie, it's really worth watching, and if you are into horror genre that goes beyond just basic gore and practical effects to make you curious and interested to uncover the mystery, you should watch this movie.

The intro of the movie and the build towards the end of Francesca's song is scary as hell, that's how good Hollywood movies used to be, no bloating, no preaching or social engineers supervising movies, just good old entertainment.
So, basically the heroes retrieve ships they find the ocean and someone told them about and abandoned ship, and it's so interesting that they bumped into it out of nowhere, and the way the ship looks is amazing, this is a movie made 24 years ago, that's some effects of a movie made 24 years ago!!
They also knew how to make proper jump scares back then, like you can check that around 19 minutes mark.

Around 40 minutes, the poor Greer met Francesca, the poor guy is doomed..
Damn, around 45 is so funny, it's weird funny.  

 Around 56 minutes we see Greer go back to the same hall Francesca was performing and we get a great scene of things deage and get back the way they were decades ago before they discover the ship, Francesca then approached Greer.. Like who can resist such stunning villainess?! The man is good as dead, she can tell him to do anything and he would do it, it's not even up to him..
Around 1 hour 2 minutes, Francesca became topless, and seduce Greer, the poor guy follow her as if he's hypnotized, I mean, who can blame him really? Like we know he's going towards his doom, but who wouldn't with a breathtaking villainess like Francesca seducing him? 
Soon after Greer walked towards Francesca for the poor guy to fall to his death, RIP, brother, you died for a good cause!!
The whole back story of the ghost ship basically revealed in a couple of minutes around 1 hour 10 minutes.
What a plot twist, and the main villain of this movie is great, what an awesome movie, a true horror masterpiece.
