Najarra Townsend is such a wonderful actress; I am
still star struck from speaking to her about her role as Samantha in two of my favorite films. If anyone has not seen these two films, I highly recommend watching them because Najarra carries the role as Samantha throughout the entire movies making the audience connect with her, helping the viewers understand what she is experiencing which made me develop a soft spot for
Envision someone who was wrongfully subjected to
someone’s guilty pleasure. Samantha goes through the stages of grief, loss, and anger and yet she continues her life as if nothing ever happened. And yet, the assailant is never identified or caught. That’s a bit damn frustrating if you ask me.
What does this movie and Najarra’s character represent? Are the movies representations or metaphors of the dangers of
unprotected sex? How are STDs easily spread if you are not cautious? It depends on how you look at it from director’s and writer’s perspective.
Overall, both films are excellent, and I would love to
see a third adaptation to carry on from the first two. If you are into zombies and someone who is hellbent on getting revenge, these movies are definitely for you.
Be sure to follow Najarra Townsend on Instagram and
check out her posts; she will be starring in three new horror films: The Devil Makes Three, NFT, and Bits. She is a VERY talented actress, and I would love to see her in a lot more movies and I would love to see her win more awards.
