Posed for Murder

Apparently i'd seen this film before but remembered nothing from it. Pretty telling. This movie really isn't that bad though, it's exactly what you'd expect- a lot of cheesiness, intentional and unintentional comedy, bad dialogue, and an excess of naked women and exercise montages. It's surprisingly light on the gore however. In fact, this isn't exactly a slasher although it was marketed as one; really more of a thriller/suspense and a dark comedy making fun of the then recent trends in horror films. Lots and lots of poking fun at horror tropes and all the different Hollywood types. The fact that it's tongue in cheek makes it a lot more palatable, and it's a fun watch. I'd probably do it a third time, even. Despite the comedy the plot is still engaging with lots of twists and turns and red herrings. Guessing who the murderer is is a blast. But don't watch for the kill scenes, watch for the over the top cheesiness and nudity, and of course that 80s look and feel. A bad late 80s classic. 6/10
