Reviews
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
BA_Harrison A low budget Basic Instinct clone (as if we needed another one), this vehicle for ageing soft-core star Shannon Tweed (43 and looking it) features far more sex and nudity than Verhoeven's classic erotic thriller, but none of the style (you don't say!).Tweed plays detective Kate McBain, whose latest case—the murder of several blonde-haired call girls—takes a dangerous turn when she goes undercover and becomes physically involved with the prime suspect, billionaire Blue Dresden (John Enos). As Kate 'investigates', she becomes convinced of Blue's innocence, her suspicions falling upon her police colleagues (seasoned detective Rackles, played by Sam Jones, and young hotshot Billy Trainer, played by Eric Keith).Flatly directed by Robert Angelo, with perfunctory performances all round, Dead Sexy is an unremarkable thriller that treads water between several uninspired soft-core sex scenes. Even the most die-hard fans of Tweed will be disappointed, the star employing a body double for her romp with Enos.
Leofwine_draca Back in the 1990s, blonde actress Shannon Tweed was a mainstay of late night cable television. After the success of the psycho-thriller sub-genre, in particular BASIC INSTINCT, B-movie producers were desperate to get a slice of the proverbial pie by doling out their own low budget erotic thrillers, invariably starring one of half a dozen actresses who were happy to strip for their craft.Shannon Tweed was the best known of these stars, a pneumatic blonde who displayed some measure of acting talent which was rare for this sub-sub-genre. DEAD SEXY marks the final erotic thriller she made; her advancing years and a general public dissatisfaction for the stale genre saw tastes move elsewhere. Invariably this film is a disappointment, lacking the finesse of an Andrew Stevens production, feeling instead like a cheap cash-in on a once popular market.Tweed plays a detective investigating a series of murders in which call girls were thrown off high buildings. Her investigation leads her into the clutches of a rich playboy (John Enos III) called Blue, a guy who's the main suspect. She has to literally go to bed with him in order to find out the truth, and of course there are the requisite twists and turns along the way.Tweed is the best actor in this film, which is saying something. The years have been kind to her, and even if she doesn't parade around naked anymore then she still packs a attractive punch. The less said about Enos the better, although viewers are treated to a slumming-it Sam J. Jones (FLASH GORDON) playing Tweed's partner. As a whole, though, the thrills are non-existent, the plotting is very poor, and the sex scenes are a complete waste of time, no better than filler material. You'd be better off checking the films that came out ten years before this to see the genre at its finest.
koolgirlie I saw this flick quite a while ago. First thing I did was buy it for my own personal collection. I really enjoy crime movies, action flicks & thrillers. Dead Sexy has all three ingredients. Although I like Shannon Tweed movies, my very favorite actor is John Enos who played Blue. John has such a great presence. You can't wait to see what he will do next. Till the very end, I kinda thought he might be the murderer, but he wasn't. John can wear clothes like no other. Loved the black suit, black shirt & blue satin tie. He's a walking fashion ad, and with his boyish charm, who wouldn't be attracted to Blue as was Grace as the cop? I got suspicious of Rickles the minute he broke into Grace's house. The only thing I had trouble figuring out was WHY Blue made her wait till he had a lap dance? Perhaps to warm her up? My first reaction would've been to walk out & leave him there...but, since he was paying Grace five thousand for the company, she didn't have much choice but to put up with it...afterall he was under the impression that she was an upscale hooker. I loved it. Thought it was suspenseful, & enjoyed the storyline. Hope to see MUCH more of John Enos in better & better roles. This guy has talent, let's not hide it under a basket. He's great looking, has a calmness about him even an innocence, and when he walks, he like glides, love his demeanor. Would love to see John Enos in his own series & other movies ONSCREEN anytime SOON. Already saw Phone Booth, another of his credits and can't wait to see his next project.
p1phillips Shannon Tweed strikes again in this thriller about the murders of high-priced escorts. She is the cop on the case, and begins getting an itch south of the navel for her prime suspect (John Enos). The red herrings are laughably obvious and the several sex scenes are all exactly the same (woman on top with lots of jumping and shouting). Even worse, Tweed opts this time to use a body double. This is a movie that fails to satisfy on just about every level.
