More on Satanic Panic, which is just such a damn fun movie. I loved this scene, too.
In so many ways, Satanic Panic subverts the tropes of the often male-dominated world of horror and slashers. In one scene, Judy strips down to her underwear in what would generally be the typical cheesecake scene existing solely for the titillation of the male viewers. Here, the scene is played both as grotesquely as possible (lots of vomit, complete with more hair than a clogged bath drain) and as tenderly, playing out as a beautiful scene between Sam and Judy, just two characters trusting their lives with each other and fighting for each othersโ lives.
Such a smart film. (And thatโs not hair that she vomits; those are live worms.) So few made like this. And Ruby Modine is a gem (pun very much intended) in her role.
