The It Girl

About This Movie

The It Girl (2009) dives into a gritty underworld where crime intertwines with the glitzy facade of high fashion. The pacing oscillates between seductive glamour and raw tension, as Jenna navigates through show-bars to confront a lurking serial killer. It's a blend of horror and crime, with its practical effects leaning into the visceral rather than the polished. Performances by Monique Alexander and the other glam-queens create an electric atmosphere, juxtaposing the beauty of their world against the dark undertones of violence and fear. The film's unique take on the 'It Girl' trope adds a layer of social commentary that makes it stand out in the genre.

The It Girl has seen limited releases, which makes it a bit of a rarity among genre collectors. It exists mainly on DVD, with no significant Blu-ray releases, which adds to its appeal, as collectors often seek out the lesser-known titles in the horror-crime niche. Given its unique blend of themes and performances, there’s a growing interest in this film, particularly among enthusiasts of underground cinema and those captivated by unique narratives within the horror genre.
