Is this list a bit weird? A bit taboo? Balls to it, that's how we roll.

On hearing that Megan Fox will be playing the part of a possessed serial killer in Jennifer's Body (in cinemas Friday) we got to arguing over which femme fatale in films gone by has been the fittest. You know the ones -- the ones that are almost worth dying for -- the ones you'd take a pick axe in the jugular just to get near.

Now let's get one thing straight here -- we're not talking about assassins or super villains. No sir. No financial reward slayings or vendetta killing sprees here. We're only including the ones who simply seem pure evil. Have a read then let us know where we've gone wrong, after the jump.

Marie -- Haute Tension / Switchblade Romance

What do you mean you don't remember French classic Haute Tension (called Switchblade Romance in the UK)? Off to the independent DVD store with you and don't come back until you've got some culture.

Seen it now? Good, then you won't mind this jumbo-sized SPOILER. College friends Alice and Marie (played by the stunning Cécile de France) go to spend the weekend at a family house. Once there a serial killer starts terrorising them all, even decapitating one unfortunate soul with a bookcase.

Anyway, the mega-twist, as if you couldn't tell is Marie. At least we think she is. Or is it a figment of her imagination? It's all a bit confusing. Bottom line, Marie is evil and hot and she decapitates people with bookcases. Position: 5th

Amanda Young-- Saw movies

Actress Shawnee Smith is probably lovely. Probably. But of the killers in this list, her character from the Saw movies, Amanda Young, is defo most in need of psychiatric help.

SPOILER ALERT: Having started off as a bog standard, bit-part potential murder victim, by Saw III our Amanda blossoms into a fully fledged serial killer who not only gets her kicks killing people, but enjoys it more if serious levels of torture are involved. That said, your dad would be impressed if you bought her home. Stabulicious. Position: 4th


Asami Yamazaki -- Audition

Another mad female slayer from foreign cinema. When widower Shigeharu Aoyima is urged to overcome his grief and find a new wife, he meets the mysterious Asami Yamazaki and is immediately enchanted by her. But the ex-ballerina isn't what she seems, as we find out that she lives in an empty apartment with just a telephone. Always a bit of a mood kiler.

Anyway, Yamazaki, the phone loving nutter soon flips, tying the widower up, injecting him with a paralytic agent and graphically torturing him with needles under his eyes and through his abdomen. That's audition. Rent it out. Go on. Position: 3rd


Mallory Knox -- Natural Born Killers

Mallory's rather horrendous childhood may well explain her homicidal ways, but there's no doubting she ranks as a serial killer. Played by the delectable Juliette Lewis (pictured left, Getty) her murdering spree with Woody Harrelson's Mickey Knox was nothing short of obscene.

Yeah, but forget all that. What a hotty! So sexy is Ms Knox that a female star of adult movies had even pilfered her moniker. Oh and bonus points go to Juliette for playing another pretty blood thirsty part in Kalifornia, alongside Bradd Pitt.

Interesting aside, Charles Harrelson, Woody Harrelson's father was a convicted hitman, who in 1996 attempted to escape prison, after being sentenced to life for the murder of a judge. Position: 2nd

Catherine Tramell -- Basic Instinct

Have mercy. Sharon Stone (pictured left, Getty Images) offered up a stunning portrayal of the, let's face it, massively insane Tramell for Basic Instinct back in 1992.

Remember the commando shot? We'd happily hand over our pulse to have been in that police interview room. Unlike other contestants in this list (and they are contestants) we also know, thanks to mucky movie director Paul Verhoeven, that Tramell is, shall we say, skilled in le boudoire. That, gents, is why she tops our list. All hail women who go commando! All hail death by pick axe! Hurrah!
Position: 1st
