I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

You gotta respect low budget director Jim Wynorski: he never pretends that his films are more than what they are, and he knows how to deliver silliness and sleaze in equal measure. He demonstrates that with this dumb but fun melding of a "Die Hard" homage with a supernatural slasher flick. Five ultra sexy babes from a temp agency are hired to do the inventory for a lingerie company, but they'll have their mundane task interrupted by a killing spree while a storm rages outside their office building. Could the killer be the off kilter janitor (Peter Spellos) on the premises? Or is something else going on? "Hard to Die" comes off as a true mans' fantasy in that our protagonist babes are dressed skimpily and sexily right from the start, and they're a delight to behold, particularly when towards the end two of them are toting machine guns. Hotties and firearms DO always make for an irresistible combination. In addition, Wynorski shows early on that he will go for a cartoon like, tongue in cheek quality, and this extends to such things as sound effects, not to mention the fact that good old Orville the janitor proves to be completely impossible to kill. The acting is just right for this sort of thing. Gail Harris is delectable as Dawn, our plucky heroine, and Karen Mayo-Chandler, Deborah Dutch, Melissa Moore, and Bridget Carney round out the quintet of potential victims. Toni Naples, as a police detective, and Carolet Girard, as a porno actress, add even more eye candy to the proceedings. Wynorski works with regulars such as adorable Kelli Maroney as the porno wife and Monique Gabrielle, who's unrecognizable in a character role as the delivery woman. There's a sizable role for the legendary Forrest J. Ackerman of "Famous Monsters of Filmland" fame, and Wynorski himself appears, uncredited, as the porno director. Composer Chuck Cirino contributes a typically catchy electronic score, and Wynorskis' pacing is up to snuff; the movie clocks in at a fairly short 84 minutes long. It's got a couple of in-jokes, posters of the directors' past efforts, archive footage taken from "The Slumber Party Massacre", and is well worth watching for the generous screen time devoted to ogling the main actresses' assets. Seven out of 10.

ORVILLE KETCHUM WILL NOT DIE!!!!!!!that is the overall theme of the unsung hero in this movie. ORVILLE KETCHUM RULES!!!!!!!!!! if you want to see plenty of hot chicks showering Goofy violence and the overall awesomeness of Orville check this movie out i first saw it on USA network years ago and have been wanting more Orville ever since Check it out!! and bring back Orville!!!!!! but what this movie is about is basically a serial killer chases around scantly clad women who have the weird urge to take showers while they are running from the killer. Orville is stabbed thrown off the building and other ways that would cause the demise of ordinary men. but not Orville. i think this movie is very underrated and wish that they would bring it back to put it on DVD. a famous quote from Me Ketchum throughout the film is "I Just Got To Tell You..." what does he have to tell the girls..... just watch to find out!!!

In the 80's and early 90's, one couldn't do any better for entertaining movie mega-cheese than Jim Wynorski or Fred Olen Ray. Ironically enough after the two collabreated on "Hollywood Scream Queen Hot Tub Party", neither's subsquesent movies were as entertaining. But I Digress, anyway this Wynorski film is about 5 girls doing inventory and stumbling on a puzzle box that contains the spirit of the guy from "Sorority House Massacre 2", but featuring clips from "Slumber Party Massacre" So of course they take turns showering, making insipid comments, running around in lingerie, and getting killed by a maniac. In short, great cheesy goodness.My Mega-Cheese Grade: BDVD Extras: Theatrical Trailer; Trailers for "Don't Sleep Alone", "Concealed Weapons", and 1997's "Expose"Eye Candy: nearly all of the actresses get nude, take showers, or both

I think this was originally supposed to be a sequel to the SHM series. But it had reused footage from SPM. Just like SHM 2. Anyways, this movie is just goofy, cheesy fun. I mean you have 5 women in lingerie running from a killer. Their acting is like cardboard. But who dosen't like 5 women running around in their underwear. Also, they whip out these big ass M-16s and start shooting anything. It kind of reminded me of a really bad DIE HARD rip-off. This movie is just hilarious! Rent it and watch it with a few buddies.
