Killer Workout gave me a firm reminder of why I love cheese so much. It's badly made, and I loved every minute of this cheese fest. It represents everything I adore about the 80's. Workout music, non stop shots of good looking woman in aerobics gear, and terrible acting. The kills themselves are nothing special. We never get a full close-up of the killer until the very end. The choice of object to kill people is not very threatening either. I'd argue it's one of the least threatening in the history of Slasher's. Get ready for it
A CLOTHESPIN! That's the choice of object. There are so many hilarious goofs in this film. It features a fight scene between two jocks that have virtually no fighting skills what so ever. There is a shower scene where a woman gets killed, that is obviously influenced by Psycho. I did dig the burn makeup, and there is a chase scene involved at a construction site that is actually fairly tense stuff. I also dug the multiple twists in this film, and it does make you question who the real killer is. There is not much suspense in this film, just plenty of unintentional chuckles and glorious cheese throughout the film. I really did have a blast. Marcia Karr is a lot of fun as Rhonda. She's perennially grumpy all the time, and is very sexy to boot. I wouldn't say it's a great performance, but she's a hoot to watch. David James Campbell is laughably bad as the Detective. His tough guy act is even more laughable. The rest of the actors are equally as poor, but that's the fun of it all.
Final Thoughts: This is also known as Aerobicide. I'll be honest. It's a typical 80's slasher, but man is it fun! The 80's obsession with aerobics come into full play here, and despite how bad this movie is, it ends up being fun anyway. If you're looking for a fun 80's slasher with plenty of cheese, this might just do the trick for you. Lighten up and live a little. It's not The King's Speech!
(3/10 for quality) (5/10 for how fun it is!)
