| Shit the bed. You'd think having watched thousands of bad movies I wouldn't have any problems watching crap like this supposed "erotic thriller." All I can say is that the glaring problems with this movie are so numerous that I don't have enough internet bandwidth to list them all. The plot is thus: Girl is murdered at Santa Barbara Community College, her sister shows up and DJ's at college radio station, guy who killed her sis stalks her and calls her show to tell her she's next, and there are lots of poorly done sex scenes to boot. The acting and direction are just horrendous. There are instances where someone screwed up a line and it was just left in the film. Model Amber Smith, as a supposed alterna-crap-punk afficionado DJ, mispronounces the band The Ataris as the Uh-tar-isss. I'm not a fan of that music genre, but I did own an Atari 2600 once and I know how to pronounce the word. Everyone has sex scenes in the film, but they are the absolute worst I've ever seen. They consist of about three or four different quick shots of tits that are looped over and over for five minutes. The worst comes near the end... after Amber sees the body of a murdered friend, she decides to take a dip in the hot tub and fondle her breasts... the clip of this ends with her suddenly jerking her head to the left to look at something. Well guess what, we get to see this one clip about 15 times, with that same weird head jerk every time. It could drive you insane. Random flashback-- At my high school, there was this girl nicknamed "Sitting Bull" because of a rumor about how she didn't move when she was on top. Well, Sitting Bull came to mind while watching this because all of the sex scenes occur with little or no movement by the participating parties. The only reason to watch movies like this is the nudity, but this one doesn't get any of that right. Find something else if that's what you want. The storyline definitely won't hold your interest... they reveal the killer in the first scene. |
| 0 out of 5. Definitely the worst Skinemax movie I've seen, which would put it high in the running for worst movie I've ever seen. And you know I've seen a lot of shit. |
