Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

glowwrestling I watched this film as a child originally. It was one of many films that created my interest in bad horror/comedy movies. I recently re-watched it because I realized that several of the ladies from GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) starred and were featured. America from GLOW is in the lead role with supporting roles by GLOW Characters Matilda The Hun and Beastie. Do not expect a regular cheap horror movie with this one. It was made to be a combination horror/comedy film and is purposely campy. Website Admin The Official GLOW Fan Blog http://glowwrestling.tumblr.com/

BA_Harrison Slashdance is one of a handful of 80s horror movies to use the then popular aerobics/dance/workout craze to try and wring a few last drops of blood from the dying slasher sub-genre (others include Aerobicide, Death Spa, Murder Rock, and Stage Fright). It seems like an obvious ploy, the inevitable bevy of beautiful women shaking their booty providing both gratuitous T&A and plenty of potential victims ripe for slaughter, but somehow Slashdance manages to make a complete mess of matters, its prolonged dance scenes only serving to make what is already a very boring horror film even more tedious.Cindy Maranne stars as attractive but tough cop Tori Raines, who works undercover as a dancer in an old theatre in order catch the maniac responsible bumping off girls auditioning for a musical. What we get here is a couple of virtually gore-free death scenes, but tons of embarrassingly bad dance routines from the attractive but untalented hoofers, most of whom would make a drunken granny at a wedding look like Ginger Rogers. To make matters worse, writer/director James Shyman opts for a semi-comedic approach that is truly cringe-worthy, with comical characters including two fat female steroid pushers (played by wrestler Queen Kong and Kelle Favara), perverted stage manager Rupert (John Bluto), and retarded prime suspect Amos (Joel Von Ornsteiner).As if the whole film wasn't padded out enough with interminable scenes of the dancers practising their pathetic moves ("1, 2, 3, and kick, 5, 6, 7, and knee" ad nauseum), Shyman also adds numerous shots of Los Angeles hot-spots, making parts of his film feel like they were made for the L.A. tourist board. All that time wasted watching random people walking and driving up and down Hollywood streets and there's not even one gratuitous shower scene from the sexy showgirls. For shame!

Jack Girls auditioning for a dance company start disappearing. A cop from the LAPD goes undercover to investigate. What she finds is, well, the murders seem forgotten for much of the movie. She mostly just dances (like some remedial aerobics class), turns down propositions from one of her fellow cops, and endures a lot of conversations with the chief of police, who wants to run for political office. She also has flashbacks about her sister who died of a drug overdose and her mother who committed suicide because of her daughter's death. This has absolutely nothing to do with the plot.The good: Well, we do get some hot babes in really sexy '80s leotards. Unfortunately the video quality on the DVD is very poor, obviously this was made from an old and somewhat worn-out video tape, so it's hard to appreciate them too much.The bad: Everything else. Like I said, the plot is pretty much forgotten for the entire middle part of the movie. There's absolutely no tension or suspense. There are no killings in this part of the movie, and no police investigation. It's completely boring except for the hot babes in their leotards. Acting is pretty bad, and half the characters seem to be attempting some sort of comedy, none of which works. The production is very amateurish; I especially got a kick out of the way they use scenes of downtown Hollywood as transitions between other scenes, and these transition scenes have no soundtrack - just complete silence.Overall, this movie comes in a ten-movie set, and so it's very, very inexpensive. I would be pretty mad if I paid full price for this DVD alone, but as part of this set, I can hardly complain. It's too boring to be so-bad-it's-good, but it is a nice glimpse at some of the micro-budget junk that was turned out in the straight-to-video market in the late '80s. I'd choose it over some of the micro-budget junk turned out today. It's just a cryin' shame that nobody bothered to track down the original film of this movie to use for the DVD transfer, I would have really liked to see those babes with better video quality.

ThrownMuse This slasher-with-not-much-slashing is NOT the Lucio Fulci flick (aka Murderrock). With a title like Slash Dance, I was expecting this to be a hoot. This is apparently a little-seen movie and it should stay that way. Young women start disappearing when showing up at a shoddy Hollywood theatre to audition for...um...a chorus line or something. A detective goes undercover and...um...joins it. The story doesn't make sense, the acting is painful, and the dancing is even worse. The 80s fashion and music is the kind that everyone tries to forget. There are several failed attempts at humor that don't work because of stoneface delivery. The most bizarre part of this movie is that some of the castmembers (including the abs-of-steel lead) were GLOW wrestlers. There are also two characters that are apparently beach steroid dealers that act like...well...pro wrestlers. If you really enjoy bad 80s movies that are borderline "so bad it's good," then you might get some chuckles out of this. I didn't quite make it to that point. My rating: 1/10
