Barbara Crampton’s career resurrection is simply amazing to behold. Not only is she staying true to the genre that helped to make her a cult icon, she’s breaking new dramatic ground and crafting performances that are some of the best of her career.
When Dee Wallace was asked what it was like to work with kids and dogs, she laughed and responded, “I don’t think I would have had a career if it weren’t for kids and dogs!”
And that is what fascinates me about this archetype; the fearless woman who can outsmart a serial killer and subvert gender roles in 90 minutes or less.
