My review was written in July 1989 after watching the movie on Virgin Vision video cassette.
This Canadian horror film is more pretentious than most, but suspensefully tells the tale of an obsessed soundman who kills strippers.
Nadia Capone, also toplining for director Robert Bergman in the current video release "Skull: A Night of Terror", plays a dancer having trouble with her boyfriend (Silvio Oliviero), an artist who can't find work. She takes a job as a phone-sex girl, working at Michael Lebovic's nightclub.
Early on, Bergman reveasl the identity of the killer who's preying on the dancers at the club, but story gimmick has Capone increasingly suspecting (with good reason) that her nutty boyfriend is the monster. This leads to an ironic climax in which she rushes to the real killer for help against innocent Oliviero.
Bergman emphasizes topless footage of the dancers in providing exploitation content, but they are cast as performance artists rather than strippers (Gotham starlet in this field, Phoebe Legere, originally was announced as pic's co-star but does not appear).
