She’ll eat your heart out… literally. There’s no mistaking Natasha Henstridge as the original reproduction-driven alien Sil from cult classic Species. Her unmistakable physique became synonomous with the “best hot tub sex kill scene” in movie history.
This week we’ve giving the Blu-ray Rise and Shine to Natasha not for the seductive and deadly character that put her name on the map. That would be too easy. Instead, we’re honoring her huge body of work in low-budget action films that rely on home video to make their coin.
For example, Natasha has co-starred in Adrenalin: Fear the Rush, Steal, Second Skin and A Better Way to Die, to name a few. She’s dabbled in TV with The Outer Limits and She Spies. And this week, she makes an appearance on Blu-ray alongside Mr. Universal Soldier himself, Jean-Claude Van Damme, in Maximum Risk.
Natasha continues to acknowledge her roots by making cameos in the Species series, most recently in the third sequel. As long as new Species films are sent direct-to-video, chances are Sil will continue to poke her nose into other people’s business.
Maximum Risk is currently available to order from Amazon.com which you can jump directly to by clicking here. You can also catch Natasha on Blu-ray in Species, now available, and on September 23 in Deception.
