One thing's for certain about two-time Best Actress Oscar-winner Hilary Swank: Neither of those were given for her horror movies.
While horror films already rank pretty low on the Academy's list of things to consider when handing out awards, there can be little argument that they've properly ignored the dozen or so thrillers and chillers Swank has appeared in since making her screen debut as a child actress in 1991.
It's a shame that Swank hasn't been featured in better horror films, because she is often the best thing about ones she's been in. She continues to appear in scary movies (with her most recent one being "The Resident" from the revived Hammer Films), so there's still hope for fans that she will be in the right project sooner or later.
that would be nice. and who the hell "revived" Hammer?
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteThe Hammer brand (and some of the films produced by the venerable studio) was acquired by Exclusive Media Group a couple of years ago. The new Hammer Films is headed by Simon Oaks.
