Colourful, kitsch, gory and extremely funny, the horror-comedy SEXY KILLER is a crowd-pleasing popcorn movie – part serial killer thriller and part zombie shocker – that wittily pays homage to the genre classics that have so obviously inspired its makers. It brings to the screen a charming, sexy and charismatic anti-hero (or, in this case anti-heroine) in the form of a loveable serial killer for whom viewers will be rooting until the final frame.
At an exclusive university dead bodies are turning up with alarming frequency, all believed to be victims of the notorious Campus Killer. The police are stumped as to who the killer might be and, of course, nobody suspects innocent looking med student Barbara. A superficial fashion queen whose childhood dream was to grow up to become the living embodiment of her favourite doll, Cindy Superstar, all Barbara needs now is to find herself a real-life equivalent of Cindy's plastic partner, Glenn. But behind the mask of her perfectly applied make-up is a deadly cross between Paris Hilton and American Psycho's Patrick Bateman, a female serial killer for whom ruthlessly slaughtering people isn't so much a question of why as one of why not?
SEXY KILLER (18) is released on DVD (£12.99) by Momentum Pictures on 14th September 2009.
