1995’s Copycat is more notable for its casting of two female leads, neither relegated to a romantic interest, while still relying on the typical Hollywood serial killer script complete with plot holes and an absurd final act. Sigourney Weaver stars as former serial killer expert Dr. Helen Hudson who goes into seclusion after nearly being killed by the disturbed Daryll Lee Cullum (Harry Connick Jr.) following on of her lectures. Sometime later, having noticed a pattern in a series of killings around San Francisco, the agorophobic Helen reaches out to the police with her theory.

The Asylum’s 2024 mockbuster Snow White and the Seven Samurai is odd little low budget, straight-to-video, flick that seems to exist only because both Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Seven Samurai have the number 7 in the title. Fiona Dorn “stars” as the daughter of a mobster (Eric Roberts) known for his heavy cocaine distribution (earing her the nickname Snow White – despite no one actually calling her that).

The body chosen by Death just so happens to be the same man Parrish’s daughter Susan (Claire Forlani) falls for in an earlier scene.

It was a book that became a movie that became a phenomenon. Tackling high school cliques with an absurdist comedic edge, 2004’s Mean Girls stars Lindsay Lohan on her first day of high school as a young woman homeschooled up until that point. After making a couple of new outcast friends (Lizzy Caplan and Daniel Franzese), Cady (Lohan) is noticed by the popular mean girls (Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried) who invite her to join them.
