I adore Sarah Michelle Gellar mostly because she's perfect as Buffy. But as you mention she adds a little something to this role and most other non-Buffy parts she plays. Just something about how she emotes that conveys there's more going on beneath the surface. Not sure she gets enough credit as an actor, even for Buffy.

Also find it funny that the killer slashes off some of her hair and it's supposed to be some huge blow to her ego and expose her vanity but she just goes to a stylist and is still an absolute smoke show and if anything looks better. I like to think the killer is standing there at the parade looking at her and going "damn, ok you win that round".

Sounds like the 90s to me! Ah, the days of my youth...
