A serial killer is going around butchering a bevy of beautiful busty college coeds. Amber Smith is a sexy DJ for a college radio call-in show whose sultry voice attracts the attention of the killer. When he reveals on the air that he killed Amber’s sister, it naturally rattles her. While the police drag their feet and come up with no leads, Amber sets out to take down the killer on her own terms.
Smith makes quite an impression as she really commands the screen. She has a sexy voice and is a natural fit behind the microphone. She also looks great in her frequent nude scenes.
Most of the sex scenes are gratuitous and would make a Mainline Releasing erotic thriller seem subtle and restrained by comparison. That’s just a fancy way of saying they’re pretty darn good. These sequences are well lit, have patient editing, and director Emmanuele Itier frames the scenes in such a way that he’s able to get the most out of the performers'… uh… assets. The sex scenes also occur at a steady clip which also help to disguise the thin plot.
Other than Amber’s impressive performance, the rest of the cast are sadly, more or less a washout. Jason Ryan, who plays the main cop on the case especially looks ridiculous in his ill-fitting cowboy hat, especially considering that without it, he otherwise looks like a member of Sugar Ray. His Texas accent sounds equally phony. Thankfully, his goofy appearances don’t detract from the hot and heavy softcore action.
The finale where Amber and her boyfriend are attacked by the killer is a lot less effective than the build-up to the confrontation. This lengthy sequence also cuts into the nude scenes, which were previously occurring every five minutes. The tepid climax aside, for the first hour or so, Tell Me No Lies is truthfully a great Skinamax thriller.
Itier later went on to direct documentaries, many of which were narrated by none other than Sharon Stone!
