Murdercise

Between the sexy girls & fun 80s aesthetic mixed with comedic slasher elements, this is a fantastic done fun movie! Acting is perfect for what this is. Don't expect an Oscar winning performance.

It also meets that old school 80s workout energy that's more sexual tension than a hardcore routine. Sexual energy is off the charts, especially when it starts off with huge fake double D's! Who doesn't enjoy a huge rack in any type of media?

So sit down, order a pizza & break out that fleshlight with a bottle of lube that you've been needing an excuse to use. This flick has got it all. If you're into that kinda stuff that is.

You're trying to make a movie about someone making a fitness video yet the person who's leading the video is the biggest girl there. And the rest of the girls look like dudes. I've literally seen better movies made in the early to mid '80s. This had a horrible plot. Horrible acting terrible actresses some of the worst puns and jokes I've ever heard. This movie seemed so phoned in on every single level and then to top it off you have ginger. Lynn who looks like a 73-year-old man showing off her raisin wrinkle skin. Pretty hard to get through without vomiting. Cheesy doesn't even begin to describe it. Zero Stars.

I thought we stopped making nonsense like this in the eighties.

Murdercise seems to have been made in backlots and unused offices by wannabe porn stars playing dress up and pretend.

Everything, and I do mean everything is awful.

The acting, awful. The direction, awful. The plot, awful. It seems very much like a film made during covid and that is not a compliment.

I usually don't like to give one star ratings to movies anymore because it takes a lot of effort to get an indie film made these days. But in this case, I will make an exception. It has a depressingly cheap and sleazy feel to the whole thing.

Apparently this film is loosely based around and paying homage to those fitness, gym horror/slasher comedy films such as Killer Workout and Death Spa. Given the premise, the story is essentially the same but for the newer generation. Once the story begins we are introduced to the characters and as it plays along, we see how the first kill occurs (the audience knows the killer but the characters are oblivious).

Nothing quite funny in this film but it's enjoyable to a degree. It is of course predictable and does include several mandatory skin scenes. The film goes downhill once the cops arrive at the scene. Trying a little to be funny which falls flat. From there scenes just occur to pass time as the inevitable turn of a full slasher occurs.

Right, well I was lead to believe that I was in for a horror comedy, as I sat down to watch the 2023 movie "Murdercise". Sure, I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so I didn't really know what I was getting into.

Turns out that writer Paul Ragsdale managed to come up with a complete dumpster fire of a movie. The storyline and script was so laughably bad that it was simply astounding. I will actually go as far as saying that the storyline in "Murdercise" is one of the dumbest I have sat through in a long, long time. It was supposed to be an homage to the campy and cheesy 1980s horror movies. But "Murdercise" never stood a chance. The narrative was rubbish and there was just nothing appealing or interesting about the ordeal.

I managed to suffer through a staggering 25 minutes of absolute rubbish and boredom in some of its purest form. Then I just couldn't take anymore of it, and turns off the movie. And trust me, this is not a movie that I will ever return to attempt finish watching. There literally was nothing worthwhile about this ordeal.

The acting performances in "Murdercise" were insanely amateurish, wooden, rigid and just awkwardly embarrassing to witness. Needless to say that there weren't anyone even remotely famous on the cast list. And with good reason, I might add. The majority of the women were cast for the movie for one reason, and it takes very little effort to figure out what that reason was.

"Murdercise" looked and felt like a homemade high school project of making a horror comedy. Well, except that the movie was lacking those two key elements; horror and comedy.

Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of directors Angelica De Alba and Paul Ragsdale's 2023 movie "Murdercise", it just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.

My rating of "Murdercise" lands on a one out of ten stars.
