Death Spa might have the best poster I've ever seen and might be the name for my next blackened grindcore band.

A parfait is a dessert, but it is also the French word for perfect.

If I had her as an instructor, I would never miss an aerobics class. Then again, I'd never leave it, either.

It looks like there was a color painting made of this poster, but it was never used until the DVD release.

The tagline for this one was too good to pass up...

The trailer for this really feels like a parody of thriller film trailers.

It's a pretty decent Frankenheimer film. Most of the people already kinda know the plot, terrorists bombing the Super Bowl, but the entire film is build up to that moment.

There's a great character moment where Shaw's MOSSAD character in the hospital, recovering from a bomb attack early in the film, where the doctor is reading off a list of next of kin to notify, all deceased, and Shaw's character is leaning back in his bed, showing concentration camp tattoo, as its being read to him. It never comes up in dialogue that most of his family died in the Holocaust, but it's implied in that scene.

Cheers, I'll check it out. I probably would have based on the poster alone though, it's great.

Unbelievably, this movie stars two people who had careers. Merrit Butrick played Kirk's son David in Star Trek II and III (Death Spa was his last movie before he died of AIDS), and Brenda Bakke is probably best known for playing the evil Sherriff's girlfriend in American Gothic.

Well, let's read the IMDB synopsis.

quote:

A mad javelin thrower kills teenagers in the school. All promising athletes are executed in the most brutal way. Especially naked girls in dressing-rooms or saunas.

Not exactly what I had in mind.

Most of the promising athletes are women, apparently. Finally a win in the slasher genre for the feminist movement.

Death Spa - The spa that eats. I will never tire of stop motion exploding effects. The deaths also look like rejected Final Destination ideas.

Did you just watch it? Because I did and the movie just goes completely off the rails in the last third. What the hell.

I wouldn't say it's completely worth your time but the movie has absolutely no idea what it's doing about half way through. Even technically it appears as if the budget just dried up; badly looped sounds and sound in general, choppy editing. Bizarre. And a final THE END? ending that just had me scratching my head what exactly was supposed to be happening.

It started out kinda promising.

I just finished watching Clue again, and for the first time I watched it from the very beginning. I had no idea that Mr. Green's entire thing was he was supposed to be homosexual: It's why he was being black-mailed, and why he makes the joke about sleeping with his wife at the end. Seriously, losing your job because you like guys? It's easy to forget how the world used to be.
