A
young woman named Valerie was
badly burned after going into a
tanning salon as the machine
backfired.
Two years later Valerie's twin
sister named Rhonda Johnson
(Marcia Karr) runs a local
workout gym and is apparently
having a bitter attitude.
Suddenly one the regulars there
ends up being murdered by a sharp
object of a sharp giant needle
while taking a shower and Rhonda
is being questioned by a
detective named Lt. Morgan (David
James Campbell) about the murder
case.
Suddenly Morgan spots other
murders which were caused by a
sharp needle around the local
area besides at the gym and tries
to find out who is killing all of
these people which started out
since a new employee named Chuck
Dawson (Ted Prior) started
working there.
A totally bad
slasher dud with lots of
beautiful actors being hacked
away by a killer at a fitness
centre.
This story really goes nowhere
even if they try to make this
slasher flick mysterious iof
having certain characters as
suspects.
This film wasn't very well
publicised and I can almost see
why but it's not yet a turkey but
it's very close to being one.
The acting is
terrible performed by many
virtual unknowns. There was
hardly any energy with the cast
involved as it's extremely stale
for a typical Z grader like this
one.
Marcia Karr was better
off with her supporting role in
the cult action flick Savage
Streets.
David James Campbell seems
to pull of his character okay as
a detective but that's about it.
A woman strips down
to nothing but the bottom of her
swimsuit in a tanning salon
breasts fully exposed.
A corspe of a black woman's
breasts are revealed.
During a dream sequence
Teresa Van der Woude takes
off her top showing off her
breasts during a makeout scene.
Also Marcia Karr's
character exposes her scarred
breasts.
There are some
bloody stabbings and slit throats
as well as a head that was bashed
by a dumbbell, a corpse is
bloodily hung but nothing too
over the top gory.
David A Prior
really needs to whip this film
into shape but he doesnt as the
fighting choreography looks phony
and so does alot of the scenery
involved with the film.
But of course he never made a
success in filmmaking as his work
is just as wooden as someone like
Rick Sloane but I give Sloane
better credit than him.
The music is
cheesily composed by Todd
Hayen which is nothing at
all spectacular but synthesizer
music and keyboard playing.
We have a sountrack
by cheesy 80's music groups like:
"Woman on Fire" by Jill
Colucci
"Only You Tonight" by
Donna De Lory
"Some Things Never
Change" & "Dust it
Off" by The Lost Playboy
Club
"Love Is a Four Letter
Word" by Didi Nelson
"Knockout" by Robert
Michaels & Lisa Duran
"Animal Workout" by
Robert Michaels
