Disturbing stuff

The rape scenes were a bit too graphic.But I thought the film had something about the sick world we inhabit.And the acting was suprisingly good,especially the scene where Deborah Shelton interviews the girls for a modeling job.They were all so natural.Even Miss Shelton!.I would definately recommend this movie.The tension was unbearable at times!

Perfect garbage !

Few films have left me with such a feeling of unease, and this is not a compliment. Since I saw it in a theater (How it ended there I can only wonder) I was subjected to 90 mn of hateful, derivative garbage, the main impression being a bit like this other sick-o movie "Don't answer the phone" - but worse. The nastiness of it all, rape and all, is shown without any distance (unlike strong stuff like "Last house on the left") and utter contempt for the (perfect ?) victims and everybody involved, leaving the viewer to be treated as a sadistic voyeur. At the end I felt like taking a shower. No credits to the director

Demented Trash

Sick film about an AIDs infected psychopath raping and infecting innocent woman. What is the point of this film? This is not entertaining or terrifying ; just terribly demented. Some passable acting, but the storyline is just too mentally disturbing. Bring a barf bag with you, if you decide to watch this toilet bowl waste of film making.

A passable thriller with highly misogynistic streak.

Obscure but ultimately misogynist 80's thriller.

I can't believe I still keep discovering 80's horror/slasher movies I've never heard about before?!? I like to think of myself that I have built up a little bit of horror knowledge over the years, and yet I keep finding obscure and long-forgotten stuff left and right; mostly from the 80's. I guess this genre really is inexhaustible. But anyway, "Perfect Victims" is more than just an average 80's slasher and actually belongs more in the small cult category of misogynistic thrillers. It's similar to notorious titles like "Maniac", "Don't Answer the Phone", "Bloodrage" and "Don't Go in the House". Movies in which a perverted and sleazy male individual, who never bothers to keep his identity a secret, exclusively targets young girls and kills them in the most brutal and repulsive ways imaginable. The pervert in "Perfect Victims" is a frustrated carrier of the AIDS virus. He's really angry at women – ALL women – and intends to spread the disease that is slowly killing him around as much as possible. So basically, he's even worse than a killer; he's a really sick bastard! His modus operandi exists of drugging the girls with large animal tranquilizers, whether Hollywood fashion models or random girls in sleazy bars, before barbarically raping them. The head of a modeling agency, who's also an ex-model herself, is targeted as the next victim because she called him a sick person live on national TV. Tom Dugan, the actor playing the rapist is quite "good" (if you can call it that). He looks like a genuine creep and someone you really don't want to mess with if you accidentally step on his toe in a bar. The film isn't great, with a very uneven pacing and too few character developments, but it's definitely a lot more horrific than I expected. The story is plausible and unsettling and there are a handful of infuriating and shocking sequences featuring violence towards women. Heavy stuff.

Tour de force

Tom Dugan as Brandon Poole gives a chilling tour-de-force performance. The scene of him surrounded by his childhood trophies when the newscaster enrages him is one of the all time best. There are also some great one-liners in this film that you'll remember long after the credits fade. What makes it so scary is the people who can seem so calm and harmless on the surface are the ones who behind closed doors can become the most frightening. I also believe Kelly from Cheers is in this movie in a notable footnote. Tom Dugan is terrific in this and would love to see him again in the same kind of role because he does play it so well.

Nerve-jangling low-budget rape film.

Judging from the slipcase of this video, I was expecting another bra-and-panties thriller...this, however, is one unexpectedly mean-spirited little flick.

Filmed in Los Angeles environs, this poorly distributed film denotes girls from a distinguished modeling agency being stalked by an AIDS infected rapist who harbors a sick desire to infect his victims. The ensuing rape scenarios are graphic and highly unsettling, and will likely upset sensitive viewers(females, especially, should proceed with caution). MOD SQUAD veteran Clarence Williams III is on hand as the ironclad investigator, and he performs well(as do the other principal castmembers...a surprise for a film as minor as this).

Despite potent moments, however, the overall handling of PERFECT VICTIMS is fairly pedestrian...on the whole, it's a nothing-terribly-special film which might be of passing interest to enthusiasts of disturbing crime cinema.
