Midnight Tease

There's some kind of weirdness going down when the sequel to a T&A flick is much better than the original. Yes, that's really the case here. 'Midnight Tease 2' triumphs this in every regard. Vintage fav Playboy model Lisa Boyle is on hand (credited as Cassandra Leigh) but she alone can't save it. None of the nudity is actually very good here.

It's once again strippers being murdered whodunit with shades of red herrings that fellow dancer Samantha (Boyle) could be responsible. Of course her psychiatrist (who she's sleeping with) thinks she's innocent. I could tell you the story is boring and the acting is stiff, but who cares in a piece like this. You're not invested in finding out who the killer is.

When a flick like 'Midnight Tease' fails on its most important fronts - nudity, sex - you've got a problem. One that means it quickly becomes boring and then a drag to sit thru. Most of the action going down on a cheap looking set. Skip this and head directly for the sequel.

There's nothing like a good old fashion stripper movie to make me feel happy when I am sad. After watching this wet walnut, I have no doubt that I am immortal and that I will never have to sleep again. And, since seeing this crackling rose, I have taken control of my life and kicked out all of the trolls and dwarfs that where living in the walls of my house on to the street. I am a new man with a new identiy. A man that will stand up for justice and the weak. I hope everyone else that saw this movie will feel the same. -**1/2 stars

Some strippers are being killed off by an unknown assassin. One of the girls fears it may be her as she suffers blackouts on the nights of the murders. She also suffers from disturbing dreams in which she murders her dad.

This is a Lisa Boyle vehicle. So to be perfectly honest that is the only reason to see it. Although it has to be said, that it's not really enough of a reason in this case. While this is an erotic thriller, it's really neither very erotic nor thrilling. The sexy stuff mainly consists of girls stripping at the night club but none of the routines are especially memorable, while the thrills are meant to come from the serial killer angle but that material is seriously underwhelming. So the film ultimately boils down to a number of strip scenes linked together by a lame murder-mystery plot-line.

There are occasional effective moments such as the part where Lisa Boyle dresses up in school gear and strips while we see a flash-back to her younger self with her father. It's wrong on at least a couple of levels, but it's at least interesting; which is more than can be said of the film in general. If you want a good Lisa Boyle flick you can't go wrong with I Like To Play Games, this one on the other hand isn't too inspired.
