1313 Cougar Cult - 2012 - Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens were 3 of the best-known Scream Queens of the '80s. Maybe they were more famous for their nude scenes and screaming than their acting, but they satisfied their fans. So why not reunite them decades later? (We interrupt this review for my Linnea Quigley story. I've met her twice, at a convention in New York and at a signing in Wyoming. We had time to talk about her movies and her animal rescue efforts. At the convention, my wife put her autographed photo in a sleeve too soon, and the marker smeared. In Wyoming, she recognized me as soon as I reached the table, and when I told her about the smear, she dug out a copy of the same photo and signed it as a free replacement. She's a sweetheart.) Anyway, the movie is about these three cougars (middle-aged women who prey on young men) who turn into cougars (fangs and growls), and who sacrifice those young men to their goddess for immortality. But the plot doesn't matter. The acting ranges from porn flick underwhelming to campy overacting. Special effects? The transformation scenes are accomplished by putting a picture of a cougar's head over the actress's head. Nope, this movie exists for one thing - the skin. At least half the run time is long, lingering shots of young hotties in the shower, or laying in bed in their underwear caressing themselves, or just walking around in their underwear. The kicker - it's all guys. Call it gender reversal to underscore the ludicrous nature of such scenes in these movies. Or maybe it's just payback, for all those times the three leads had to take their clothes off.
