Fatal Exposure (1989)

Review by BA_Harrison

Fatal Exposure

7/10

Jack the Snapper.

Behind this film's rather forgettable title lies a mean-spirited, twisted, gory slasher, albeit with its tongue firmly in cheek.

Blake Bahner plays Jack T. Rippington, descendant of Jack the Ripper, who poses as a photographer to continue his infamous ancestor's gruesome work, killing his models if they don't meet his standards. Ena O'Rourke is Erica, who falls for Jack, unaware of his murderous ways or that he plans to have her bear his son so that his bloodline will continue.

What makes this one such fun are Bahner's exaggerated performance (his character breaking the fourth wall to chat to the viewer) and the gruesome kills, Jack dispatching his victims in a variety of creative ways, including decapitation by rotary saw, electrocution, and acid. The gore is cheap and cheerful but there's plenty of it. There's also a fair amount of gratuitous T&A, O'Rourke getting nekkid off for a sex scene and a bath (or was it a shower? Ah, who cares?), bible basher Maggie proving to be quite the goer, and Erica's friend Gretchen being stripped to her undies by Jack.

The ending sees Jack getting a taste of his own medicine when Erica throws acid into his face with suitably messy results.
