Land of the Dead, XXX, and Mother of Tears and it's not bad acting but instead her ties to the genre. Her father casts her a lot and it just bugs me when the director/actors have extremely personal ties like that. Same thing with Sherri Moon Zombie.

Well, she actually did suck in Mother of Tears (go watch Trauma, she's excellent in that). I don't get your issue with connections though. You really think she's the only one cast on nepotism? I don't see you complaining about Emma Roberts or Taissa Farmiga's ties (who, unlike Asia, are NOT good actresses). Not to mention you don't get anywhere in Hollywood without connections period. I mean, do you think it's a coincidence that shows on MTV/CW recycle cast members? Katie Cassidy isn't cast in literally every CW TV show because she just LOVES the channel so much that she auditions for every single one that goes on the air :skull:

It's also not really comparable to Sheri Moon, some Asia DOES have a career outside of Dario's films and in international markets (Land of the Dead proves that) Sheri... Doesn 't.

Sheri is a far worse case since she only does movies that her husband directs, probably because he's one of the few who'll hire her. But I really don't consider Emma Roberts or Taissa Farmiga to be full on scream queens so I didn't get on their case. But out of the ones that are widely considered to be scream queens they're my least favorites because of that and there names don't interest me enough to actually watch their movies compared to Katherine Isabelle or Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Oh, yeah. Taissa and Emma aren't really full on scream queens (Emma's getting close to the point she could be a minor one though) They were just examples of way worse nepotism in Hollywood

I'd say Asia Argento is a better actress than Danielle Harris is now, at the very least. Though yeah, she's not SMG. Her in Trauma does come close to Katharine Isabelle though, actually. I get why you wouldn't be too into her from the films you've seen (as said, she's terrible in NoT. I liked her in Land of the Dead, but she wasn't amazing) You should definitely check out Trauma. It's what turned my opinion on Asia around. I went from "She can't act and is cast on looks/nepotism" to "Woah, she's fantastic O_O"

I don't hate her or anything but as of now she's just eh. Far better than Sheri who just isn't all that great and seems way to dependent on work through her husband. Danielle Harris seems to be a little uneven from performance to performance but her past as Jamie just cements her status and I'll support her because of it.

She was good then, but that was two decades ago. She was good in RZH2 as well, but she's also been downright dire in things (Good God, Hatchet 2...)

Dunno if there's any scream queen working today that I truly dislike. The closest would probably be Sheri Moon Zombie, but even then, she's in hardly anything outside of her husband's films; the only other roles I know of are a small part in the Toolbox Murders remake and a couple of bit parts on TV shows.
