Grace Jones.. So does her work with the notable cult figure Walken in View to a Kill count as horror, or just a horrible film ? (recall Roger Moore's toupee flapping in the breeze in that one .. )
Sassy,
By virtue of the fact that the filmmakers were kind enough to simply imply the sex scene between Bond and Mayday, rather than committing to screen what surely would have been both the '80s scariest film moment and the heart attack that killed Roger Moore, View remains firmly outside the horror realm. Sadly, for different reasons, it also fell outside the realms of adventure and thriller. But that's a different post.
Ah yes, Vamp. A movie that tried so hard. But just didn't make it. But what little interest the movie provided was due entirely to Grace Jones.
