In the ‘80s, a group of models and strippers arrives at a skid row studio to film a workout tape. When one of the ladies is gruesomely murdered, the production decides to trudge along without her. Naturally, more victims follow, and only the fittest will survive.
Murdercise is a throwback to the ‘80s horror fitness movies like Death Spa and Killer Workout. The beginning, in which a hot busty babe aerobicizes and then takes a shower, combines the horror and workout video genres better than Horror Movie Workout did in its entire running time. The workout scenes themselves are a fun send-up of the old aerobicize videos and are entertainingly cheeky on their own merits. (In more ways than one.) When it comes to the horror side of things, the film scores high marks as well. There’s a healthy body count, plenty of blood, and a couple of genuine surprises. (Not to mention a good amount of T & A.) Heck, even your funny bone will get a workout from watching this as there are plenty of hearty laughs to be had.
The cast is also quite strong. Everyone seems to be channeled into the movie’s quirky wavelength and are totally onboard for whatever is thrown their way. Kansas Bowling is great as the goodie two-shoes dancer who slowly tosses her morals aside to get a bigger part in the workout video. The scene where she tries cocaine for the first time and goes into a coke-fueled exercise jag is pretty damned funny. Ginger Lynn Allen (who has a topless scene) also appears as the financier of the video who has Mob ties, but it’s Jessa Flux who takes the acting honors as the bosomy Candy. The scene where she has a meltdown when everyone refuses to look at her admittedly luscious breasts is the comedic highlight of this fun flick. (Don’t worry, Jessa. Trust me, I was looking.)
