While it is nowhere near a horror movie, this prompt has no merit without mentioning Catherine Trammell of the Basic Instinct series. The magic of Sharon Stone’s rock the boat kinda performance lies in her apt understanding of her character’s soul, which is evident in how she displays both her sexuality and vulnerability during the film. She uses every tool at her disposal to stay out of her trouble’s way, and such is her magnetism that even the most level-headed men get weak in their knees in her presence.

As a woman suspected of murdering her lover, watching Stone gyrate and seduce a tough detective is nothing short of a guilty pleasure. Her portrayal of a bisexual steamy crime novel writer will make it to every sexy killer on-screen list for ages to come.
