ShangLuda Admirable film.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
FieCrier So you've got a number of models on an island, and one by one they're picked off Agatha Christie-style. We get somebody lost at sea, pushed off a cliff, poisoned by a solvent, driven off a cliff, blown up, etc. Nothing terribly graphic.Before any of that starts, one woman inexplicably has a dream of a killer in a weird human face mask.The owner of the magazine is a sleaze who had an affair, and somebody had photos taken of her before she was of age.In the end, it's all about business, or something,There's an 80s style montage of a photo shoot, most of the bathing suits being one-pieces, surprisingly. A couple are fairly translucent. There's camera clicks during the montage where the frame of the camera appears as a white square or rectangle within the picture. The photographer is rather bad at framing!
Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) This movie I've seen is very interesting by the minute. Here you have a boss Rex Kingman(Lee Majors) who flies out his staff and models to a Mexican island to make his work on a magazine, and suddenly everyone around him disappears or worse wind up dead! Suspicions, suspicions, everyone on the island is a suspect, including Rex himself. Man, he's in ruins with his company, and everyone on the island is dying off one by one. It's scary to be on an island where there's hardly any maniac running loose, and others get dollar signs in their eyes making the chance to be in that picture. However, the whole thing turns out to be a trap for the editor, when his own indiscretions surfaces up. So who's the heavy now? This may have been a made for TV movie, even most of them seem to show their own spark in a way. I enjoyed this movie every single bit. Boy, this is like right off of a mystery novel, only more fun. Rating 2.5 out of 5 stars.
opusx86 This film was a fairly decent tropical thriller. It has you on a one way street throughout the entire film. The very end has a unique twist, which surprising was pulled off well. I fairly enjoy tropical madness. The idea of being in paradise, where everything goes running amok, and people start to go insane, really can hit the senses sometimes. The film was developed well, because it pertained to the conflicts between the characters relationships with one another and the situation at hand. For an early 90's Yuppie soap/thriller, I found it entertaining. Plus, looking at all of those "cover girls" was excellent "eye candy", if you start to get bored of the film itself.
sol1218 **SPOILERS** Having trouble with the sluggish sales of his top fashion magazine "Image" owner and editor Rex Kingman, Lee Majors,plans to shoot his anniversary issue in an exotic and deserted Caribbian island far from civilization. With a bevy of his most gorgeous fashion models, to jump start his lagging publication. Being a man who knows what sells and what doesn't Kingman takes advantage of everything that goes right or wrong in selling his magazine. At that out of the way island things go a lot worse then anything that he could have even imagined. One by one almost all of his fashion models end up getting killed and their bodies lost under the warm Caribbians surf and waters. Until the only one's left are his lover Kate and her younger sister Rachel, Jennifer O'Neill & Venessa Angel. Kingsman is so distraught over what happened to his girls and even worse the impending collapse of is magazine "Image" that he starts to drink heavily and even take pills on the side. Where he becomes a total wreck of a man. The last straw is when Kingman,drunk and out of control, attacks and tries to rape young Rachel which has Kate, who still had some affection left for him, tell Kingman just where he can go. Kate also threatens to report him to the police when they get back to the states. The next morning waiting for the plane to show up, and take whoever is still left on the island back home, Kate is found dead floating in he swimming pool. Meanwhile Rachal, in a struggle with the now blind drunk and almost insane Kingman, ends up getting shot and killed by him.By now the man, Kingman, is a complete and utter wipe-out but wait there's more to the story then what you've seen up until then. It has to do with Kingman's past a past that finally caught up with him. Lee Majors as Rex Kingman is as sleazy and manipulating as anyone you'll ever see in this movie about revenge and retribution. A story that has to do with what turned out to be, for everyone in the movie, the swimsuit fashion shoot from hell. "The Cover Girls Murders" keeps you guessing to just what's going on until the very end. When it finally exposes to it's audience what was really going on in the movie, and what Kingman is really all about, you'll know what the the saying "What goes around comes around" really means.
