Tuchergson Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Scott LeBrun As "Killer Workout" opens, a young model named Valerie learns that she's been hired for a major shoot, but that night, when she uses a tanning bed at a health & fitness spa, there's a bad accident, causing the machine to burn her. Years later, her twin sister Rhonda (Marcia Karr) is running her own spa, and the clientèle soon start to get killed by some psycho.As a low budget slasher designed to cash in on the fitness craze of the 1980s (and this movie just screams 1980s throughout), this would make agreeable viewing, alone or as a double feature with the equally silly "Death Spa". Overall, it's not as outrageously tacky as one might wish it to be, nor is it as hilarious in its awfulness as would be appreciated. Still, people looking to have a bad movie night would likely have a good time with this one.There's plenty of padding, but it's padding of the kind that many audience members will appreciate, with leering shots of well choreographed dancers grinding along to some insidiously catchy 80s style pop. The ladies are lovely, and the men are studly; their performances add a bit to the fun. Karr is entertainingly bitchy, while David James Campbell ("Scarecrows") is the required weary detective on the case. Ted Prior, brother of writer / director David A. Prior, and Fritz Matthews co-star; they also did "Deadly Prey" for David A. P. the same year as this. Teresa Van der Woude ("Night Visitor") and Joel Hoffman ("Pumpkinhead") have smaller roles.The much too talky finale and the resolution are not terribly satisfying, but getting there is still enjoyable.Six out of 10.

Woodyanders A vicious psycho bumps off assorted members of a fitness club run by the hard-nosed Rhonda Johnson (a perfectly bitchy portrayal by Marcia Karr). It's up to the rough'n'tumble Lt. Morgan (ripely overplayed by the brawny David James Campbell) to catch the wacko before things get too out of hand.Writer/director David Prior does a delectably dreadful job of covering all the pleasingly low-rent Grade B movie bases: The infectiously bouncy rock soundtrack, cruddy acting from the lame no-name cast, a few tacky false scares, the erratic pacing, a satisfying smattering of tasty gratuitous female nudity, the clumsily staged fight scenes and murder set pieces (the victims are stabbed to death with a safety pin!), plenty of hot babes in headbands, leotards, tank tops, and leg warmers bumping and grinding their constantly gyrating pelvises into a sexy'n'sweaty lather, the redundant hum'n'shiver synthesizer score, the gloriously hideous 80's fashions and hairstyles, and the surprise bummer ending all add substantially to this enjoyably atrocious stinker's considerable kitschy charm. An absolute schlocky hoot and a half.

Leofwine_draca Widely hated by moviegoers and horror fanatics alike, the years have given this cheesy slasher film a certain charm. While it's obviously hampered by the low budget (it's one of those films where the producer/director/actor are all the same person), the cult appeal of this atrocious film is such that I found myself having a great time while watching it.The acting is bad all around, with the possible exception of the actor playing the cop Morgan, who overacts a bit and chews the scenery in a fun way (at least this variety of 'acting' is better than standing around and delivering leaden lines straight off the cue card). The killer kills people with a giant safety pin, which gives you some idea of the ingenuity of this film (the cleverest thing is the title AEROBICIDE). The '80s pop music soon grates heavily on the viewer's nerves while the point-of-view killer shots are stolen from HALLOWEEN (as per usual), and basically have been copied far too often to be effective anymore. The camera dwells on the girls in the aerobics classes far too long, and works the other way too when focusing on muscular young men. Add the fact that they're all dressed in hideous '80s clothes and you'll be ripping your own eyes out to try and stop the torment.As you can imagine, this film is pretty dire, full of bland actors, characters who you don't give a damn about, and the murders aren't even particularly gory. So why did I enjoy it? It's difficult to say really apart from the fact that as everything was so bad it all became one big comedy and, in a way, one of those 'so-bad-it's-good' kind of films. Saying that, you probably need a high tolerance level to be able to sit through a film like this… or maybe, like me, you're just a glutton for punishment!

stephen kehoe (impossiblehim) Big hair, big boobs, bad music and a giant safety pin.......these are the words to best describe this terrible movie. I love cheesy horror movies and i've seen hundreds..but this had got to be on of the worst ever made. The plot is paper thin and ridiculous, the acting is an abomination, the script is completely laughable(the best is the end showdown with the cop and how he worked out who the killer is-it's just so damn terribly written), the clothes are sickening and funny in equal measures, the hair is big, lots of boobs bounce, men wear those cut tee-shirts that show off their stomachs(sickening that men actually wore them!!) and the music is just synthesiser trash that plays over and over again...in almost every scene there is trashy music, boobs and paramedics taking away bodies....and the gym still doesn't close for bereavement!! All joking aside this is a truly bad film whose only charm is to look back on the disaster that was the 80's and have a good old laugh at how bad everything was back then.
