Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a box office loss and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who can't resist a good whodunit and slasher fans. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. Same wavelength as Totally Killer. Classic slasher set-up: count who's left standing.
- The mood
- Scary and gory.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 26 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Someone is killing off the female leads of the movie production "Bad Girls from Mars." The producers feel they should try to finish the film, even though they're making a lucrative amount from insurance payoffs, so they fly in European sex bomb Emanuelle as the new lead. Emanuelle immediately begins embarrassing the producers by leading a wild party life around town. Meanwhile the killings continue, and detectives try to stop the fiend responsible.
