4/10
Feels like a work out watching this.....

Warning: Spoilers
It's almost pointless to give a film like this a proper plot summary.

Girl has an accident on a sun bed, flash forward two years later, and someone is killing members of a gym with a giant safety pin. It doesn't matter though the patrons are more or less seeing the murders downright before their eyes, but still return the next day.

So it's up to your atypical grizzled detective from the eighties to solve the crime, not that you'd need a degree in criminology to guess the outcome of the film......it's not exactly Se7en......

If you were to take away the prolonged dance sequences and workouts, then you would a have a very short film indeed, and this is because the makers wanted to pad their film, because there isn't much of a plot, and even less of a narrative.

So all you can do is sit back and tolerate the garish eighties clothing, the wonderfully ridiculous big hair, and the occasional murder with a giant safety pin.

There is some sort of strange twist at the end of the film, featuring the tables being turned, but even though it's only a slight film, you feel like you've sat through a four hour training video on how to use gym equipment safely.

Not good, the burn make up almost makes the film worth watching, but at the end of the day, it's only a cash in on the slasher movie.

See Death Spa instead.
