No stars

NEVER has the blurb about a film told so many lies in so few words.

Naked Killer claims to be 'a supercharged erotic action-adventure' and a 'pulp classic' which is both 'infamous and unparalleled'. LIES.

When this film was first released in 1993 it fell foul of the censors because of its explicit mix of sex with violence but when watching it you cannot help thinking you're watching the wrong film.

I've seen more explicit sexual antics in Hollyoaks and more gruesome violence in Lethal Weapon.

Half a breast and some red dye in a swimming pool could not have horrified censors to any great extent just nine years ago.

The plot, for what it's worth, revolves around a female assassin who falls victim to a vendetta at the hands of her rival and her lesbian lover.

The film is hard enough to follow with subtitles but the acting takes the biscuit. The 'stars' of the film would not be welcomed in a primary school play.

If this film is, as claimed, 'the most infamous category 3 film of all time' then I have been living on a different planet for far too long, but frankly, I would rather go back there than be forced to endure this trash.
