Crappy film

... View MoreWhile doing the inventory for a lingerie outlet in a high rise office building, five attractive women are terrorised by a series of bizarre killings. They suspect that the strange janitor, who witnessed another series of killings years back, is at the bottom of the whole thing. Little do they know the real horror that they face in the end. If you're looking for beautiful naked women taking a shower completely nude and exposing it all? You're definitely getting both your money and time worth but if not? This is an easy and pretty fast pass for me if you ask me. (0/10)
... View MoreJim Wynorski knows how to make a titty-flick entertaining. Gratuitous nudity can get stale, but here it's used winkingly, which fits the tone of the rest of the movie. This is also the closing of an era, as the early nineties still had enough non-silicone actresses left over from the eighties. The remainder of the decade witnessed the rise of fake bosoms, unfortunately. Ironically, the least attractive thing in this movie is the most entertaining, in the form of Peter Spellos. His character is a well-intentioned gentle-giant who lumbers around, being mistaken for the killer at every turn, and getting f***ed up by the babes as a result. The gag runs through the entire movie, adding laughs to the titillation. So, grab a beer, turn off the brain, and enjoy.
... View MoreThis past week, I've been watching the Sorority House Massacre movies and the Slumber Party Massacre movies. Hard to Die is supposed to be the 3rd in the Sorority House Massacre 'trilogy' because the Orville Ketchum character from #2 is back in this one. The original was a cheesy B-Movie slasher about an escaped mental patient going after girls in a sorority house. I loved it and can't stop thinking about it. I don't even know how or why this movie got connected to it. It's basically Sorority House Massacre 2 done again, but in a skyscraper. A group of women all have to work late. They randomly decide to get nude and shower and put on sexy lingerie. They find a mysterious box that unleashes an evil spirit that'll contaminate your soul. The killer was pretty disappointing and obvious. He's basically like Michael or Jason, you can shoot and stab him a million times, but he can't be killed. Just do yourself a favor and avoid this one. I would not recommend HARD TO DIE (aka) SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE 3!!!
... View More"Hard to Die" is an entertaining action film without a whole lot of slasher elements.**SPOILERS**Arriving at a high rise, Dawn Grant, (Gail Harris) Tess Cochran, (Melissa Moore) Jackie Webster, (Deborah Dutch) Shayna Harby, (Bridget Carney) and Diana, (Karen Mayo-Chandler) are sent off to do inventory for a lingerie company in the building. While sorting through the boxes, they mistakenly receive a package and open it, which causes a malicious spirit to be unleashed. Thinking nothing of it, they get back to work when a thunderstorm traps them inside. When they start to get worried when the others go off on their own, they realize that a serial killer is loose inside with them. Realizing that the killer is the spirit of an executed serial killer from years ago seeking revenge on a building employee, they try to fight off the madman.The Good News: This one is a rather entertaining action film. This one has plenty of big action scenes, mostly revolved around gunfights and at the end. In fact, the final half-hour is for the most part one extended gunfight with the participants changing for each one. This one goes all over the building, through several different floors and manages to get a lot of property destroyed and shot-up, which is fun to see. When the supernatural elements come into play and they become nearly impossible to gun down, the sight of seeing all the bodies being torn up with the bullet-fire is a thing of beauty in a horror film, and with the constantly changing locations where it takes place, and it adds to the cheesy fun. Of course, the sight of seeing incredibly gorgeous women in lingerie shooting off machine guns doesn't do much to hurt them, either. The fact that this leads into the film's other big plus, it's fun and cheese together make it a really fun experience. Beyond the film's big action scenes and it's individual moments, there's plenty of these elements to make it all-around fun and exciting. That also extends over into the film's high amount of nudity, which are featured throughout the film. From the nearly unnecessary shower scenes for all of them to the trying on the lingerie within the film, there's a pretty healthy amount featured in the film and it makes the film feel a little more cheesy. When it moves away from the cheese, this one does have a few good suspense moments. The time when the lights go out due to the thunderstorm is great, since it happens during the time when the realization first occurs. It makes the walk-through of the building to safety all the creepier since there's the fact that it doesn't know whether or not the killer will come out. The play with the shadows is used nicely here, and it makes the building take on a whole new light, even when there's familiarity. The later stalking scenes with the machine guns work out just as well, and are just as good. These here are the film's best points.The Bad News: There isn't a whole lot wrong with the film. The fact that, watching this as a slasher, there's a few flaws that sprout up. The body count is ridiculously low, with only a few deaths actually transpiring throughout. Never mind that they're really bland kills, being done in the shadows, but the fact that there's only a couple of them makes the film feel really dry. The lack of blood, except for the gunshot wounds, is also something most slashers wouldn't do. The fact that they don't even begin until the film's halfway over is something else to take up, since by then there's a few spread throughout to keep the entertainment, but this one only offers up a few kills towards the end that are quite lackluster. The really flimsy excuse for getting them together really could've been worked out more, and there could've been an excuse for getting more there to stalk-and-slash. The film's other big flaw is that there's really no explanation for why the gunfights at the end to be as they are. It's established that they're supernatural, but there's nothing done about why they can withstand the punishment against them. That would've made it even more thrilling than just seeing them get up time-and-time again after being torn up with bullets. Otherwise, these here are all that harm the film.The Final Verdict: Without too much slasher elements, it's hard to really classify it as such, though this is still an incredibly fun adventure. This is really recommended to those who enjoy the cheesy kind of films or in the mood for an action-packed extravaganza, though those who don't appreciate these kinds might not enjoy it as much.Rated R: Violence, Full Nudity and Language
