Nanette Bianchi
Nanette Bianchi, honestly, is one of those names that doesn’t pop up in neon lights, but you can’t help but stumble across her if you’re into the weirder corners of late ‘90s horror. People mostly remember her for The Killer Eye, that bonkers 1999 flick that’s basically “what if Lovecraft did B-movie sleaze with a dash of mutant eyeball?” But that’s not her only gig. She was also part of Killers from 1996, which, let’s be real, was as gritty as indie thrillers got back then—lots of shadowy camerawork, lots of paranoia, and a mood that felt like everyone needed a shower.
Back to The Killer Eye, though. That thing’s got cult written all over it—creepy visuals, a villain that’s literally a giant eyeball from another dimension (no, really), and actors chewing scenery like it’s the last meal before the apocalypse. Nanette doesn’t play it safe; she jumps straight into the madness. And if you’re the type who loves watching behind-the-scenes chaos, she’s in The Making of 'The Killer Eye' too. It’s got all those “how did this even get made?” vibes.
She’s not exactly Hollywood royalty—she’s more like that secret ingredient in a recipe you can’t quite put your finger on, but you know it wouldn’t taste right without her. Cult movie fans know her, and that’s a whole world of its own. Not a household name, maybe, but for folks who love oddball cinema, she’s kind of unforgettable.
