Nina Axelrod, born in 1950, is an American actress who made her mark in the late 1970s and early 1980s. She is best known for her roles in Motel Hell (1980), where she navigates the darkly comedic landscape of a rural cannibal family, and Roller Boogie (1979), showcasing her flair for the vibrant energy of the disco era. Axelrod's work in these cult classics highlights her ability to blend into the eccentricities of exploitation cinema. Later, she transitioned to casting, but her performances remain a significant part of the cult film conversation.
Critters 3
Sometime after the events in Critters 2: The Main Course, Charlie MacFadden is tracking down the last of the Critters. A family of three – Annie (the main protagonist), Johnny (her little brother) and Clifford (the father) – stops at a rest stop when their car's tire pops. At the rest stop, Charlie warns them and Josh, stepson of a corrupt landlord, about the Critters. As this happens, a Critter lays eggs under the family's car and the family leaves, unknowingly taking the eggs with them. Soon after they arrive at their tenement, the Critters hatch and attack the sleazy maintenance man, Frank. When the landlord arrives, he too is eaten by the Critters after Josh locks him in Clifford's room, unknowingly trapping his stepfather with the creatures. Next, one of the residents is attacked and wounded. Annie, her family and five others (including Josh) try to get to safety in one piece by getting to the roof of the building. Charlie arrives and destroys the remaining Critters, saving the remaining tenants. The film ends in a cliffhanger as Charlie is about to destroy two Critter eggs, but is ordered not to and a containment pod sent from the Intergalactic Council crashes into the basement.
