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.
5/10
