Favorite Scene
Now that the whole film is available on youtube.com. Both under its original title "L'anticristo" and its alternate title "The Tempter," I was finally able to see it for the first time. And I thought both the acting, especially by Carla Gravina, and the technical aspects of the film were quite good. Better than I expected. Anyway . . .
My favorite scene from the film was in part 6 and featured Gravina's character seducing a German school student, who was visting the ancient ruins in Rome, and making his head spin wildly, before killing him.
Such murderous seductions are not common in films. Much rarer, as here, is a victim in the teens.
Though, in my honest opinion, such an young victim, and one most likely still a virgin, adds some spice to the scene. Thus, here are three such scenes, and the ones that I think are the best to be found, of seduction and murder, in chronological order, in film.
1974 "L'anticristo" The German school student. (?) Neck broken.
1988 "Lair of the White Worm" The British boy scout. (Chris Pitt) Drowned in the tub.
1990 "Troll 2" The American teenager Brett. (David McConnell) Smothered in popcorn.
