The 70 Hottest Babes of 2015, pt. 2: 60-51

60. Rose McIver (new)- The beautiful lead star of CW's phenomenal iZombie is amazing in her role. By taking the personality of the brain she eats she takes on that personality, allowing her to play various roles within,and on top of, her actual role of Liv the zombie. She is also absolutely beautiful. Seriously, I would totally be OK with dating a zombie if she looked like McIver!

59. Billie Lourd (new)- The daughter of Carrie Fisher, Princess Leia, herself, has inherited her mom's stunning good looks. Billie Lourd is an absolute stunner and really stands out in a horror/ comedy series that is filled with beautiful girls. But, she also has the acting chops to match her beauty. Another thing that plays to her advantage is that she plays the best character, by far, from the show. In fact, I can tell you that she is a huge reason why I haven't dropped this uneven series from my weekly viewing habits.

58. Carrie Coon (last year #61)- Week in and week out the breathtaking beauty that is Carrie Coon gives flat out incredible performances on one of the best acted shows on all of TV, The Leftovers. Her character is filled with depth and emotion, and her immense talent is perfect for the task of playing her. I look forward to this amazing show every Sunday. Staying in awe of her beauty and admiring her huge talent seems, to me, to be extra bonuses.

57. Lelu Love (last year #58)- One of the best porn girls on the web Lelu Love is natural beauty personified. She is also hot and sexy as fucking hell. Her interaction with her fans is the very definition of knowing how to promote oneself the right way on social media. And, her porn scenes are guaranteed to make you buy a lot of tissues. Stock up before you visit her site!





56. Alexandra Daddario (last year 40)- The impossibly perfect Ms. Daddario could be seen this year in San Andreas, which I truthfully had no interest in seeing, and Joe Dante's Burying the Ex. The later is the best horror comedy that I have seen so far this year, and had her playing a horror fan. A horror fan that looks like her is seriously what is missing from my life!





55. Caity Lotz (last year #38)- Her character of Sara Lance, AKA the original Black Canary, died last season and got bought back to life this season. So, we really didn't see enough of the beautiful Caity Lotz and her amazing curves this year (question can we ever truly see enough?). Thank God, then that she comes back full time next year in DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Seriously, one can never enough Lotz in their life!!!





54. Emily Hampshire (new)- The biggest surprise this year on TV might be the phenomenal 12 Monkeys series on SyFy. In the supporting role of Jennifer Goines, Emily Hampshire truly shines. She is one of the most interesting, fun, and wildly unpredictable characters on the series. Hampshire, herself, is excellent in the complex role. And, she is absolutely gorgeous. Oh and I want to mention that her smile, alone, is enough to melt hearts!





53. Jackie Moore (new)- Starring in the awesomely enjoyable Pernicious, beautiful blonde Jackie Moore pulled in an excellent performance. She is also quite active on social media, making her pleasure to follow and interact with.







52. Ciara Hanna (new)- Another stunner from the above mentioned Pernicious, Ciara Hanna is just breathtaking. But, she is not just another pretty blonde, as she is excellent in her role. I would imagine that anyone who sees her in that movie or anything else she has done would fall in love with her immediately. And, those eyes! Oh my God, they could melt the polar ice caps! Which come to think of it would be kind of a bad thing. So keep her away from the North Pole, for the love of Santa Claus! Or Krampus, if you prefer.

51. Missy Peregyrm (new)- One of my favorite performances in a horror film this year came from the beautiful Missy Peregyrm and her lead role in nerve and flesh-shredding killer bear flick Backcountry. One of the year's most truly intense and most pleasant surprises this movie is elevated due to talent in front of and behind the camera. Peregyrm, a long time favorite of mine since her role in Stick It, adds pathos and looks freaking gorgeous. I am not one to ever go to the woods, but I wouldn't complain if I had to go into the woods accompanied by the lovely Ms. Peregyrm. So long as there are no killer bears. That part would probably suck.

PERNICIOUS

Title: Pernicious
Director/ Writer: James Cullen Bressack
Cast: Ciara Hanna, Emily O'Brien, Jackie Moore, Russell Geoffrey Banks, Jack Prinya, Sohanna Begana
Year: 2014 (Released 2015)
Min: 90


Three beautiful girls go to Thailand to spend the summer there and help children, as well. One night they go out and meet three men, who earlier were stalking them. They stupidly take them to the place they are staying at and party with them. Though one of them, gorgeous brunette Julia (Emily O'Brien), who already has a boyfriend back in the States, does so reluctantly. Unfortunately this  only to be seemingly being drugged by these scummy guys. After some vivid and bloody nightmares where they have tortured and killed said men, they wake up discover they have been robbed. Aside from stealing their personal artifacts, also missing is a life-size gold statue of a child that they found earlier in the house that they are staying at. Soon things begin to get real fucking creepy, and they learn that the statue contained the soul of a vengeance seeking child. They must find a way to survive and stop her, but does this way even exist?

According to the dictionary the word "pernicious" means "having a harmful effect, especially in a gradual or subtle way". It's a fitting title for the movie's plot then, and thankfully the only effect that Pernicious has is a mostly entertaining one. It moves at a fast paced and is thankfully never boring or stops long enough for you to notice plot holes.

In fact, for the most part it's just a gory good time to be had. Writer/ director James Cullen Bressack crafts a movie that may not win awards for originality but it aims to be a good time and it certainly succeeds at that. While, it lifts a lot off of from films like The Grudge it adds lots of gore to make-up for its' lack of originality. I don't want this to come off as me shitting on the movie, thought. It's hard to be original these days, so when ripping off make sure you at least make it a fun experience, like this movie is. The blood and guts add to the movie by making you wince and certainly stand as a contrast to the other more restrained Asian inspired female ghost flicks.

The FX are also quite well done, and they include stabbings, tongue ripping, eyeball gouging, throat slashing, and more. Bressack even manages to make a couple, though sadly not more, creepy shots of the girls seeing the evil, little ghost child. While, these scenes heavily rip-off the aforementioned type of horror films, it is done with at least with talent and a certain level of terror. 

The real highlight for me, though, was our three lead stars: Ciara Hanna, Emily O'Brien, and Jackie Moore. All three girls are absolutely gorgeous!! I think I fell in love with them multiple times while watching the movie. But, they are not just pretty faces. All three are quite good in their roles and are believable. What is most important is that their characters are very likable. A film like this would have fallen apart had Bressack not written girls you cared about. Had they been mean, bitchy girls, you would have cheered their deaths and/ or not cared about their ordeal. Back by the talented cast, they pull and draw you in.

Pernicious is a fast and fun movie, even if derivative. The excellent gore and beautiful, talented cast keep your eyes glued to the screen. While, their strong acting ability and solid directing and quick pace keep you from dwelling too long on it's faults. Sure, some stuff will make you scratch your head (showering in bra and panties? Why?), but overall I was left with a pleasant feeling. So, go over to NetFlix and check it out, you'll be glad that you did.

*** out of ****
