Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout

It's technically a workout video, but there's no actual instruction. The performers flail around on screen in often seemingly-random ways that are impossible to follow, made even worse by the cinematography and constant cuts.

It's technically a horror video, but it's not frightening at all. The horror creatures are played entirely for comic relief.

It's technically a comedy, but every single attempt at humor is painfully stupid and unfunny.

It's technically a softcore erotic video, but the gyrations of scantily-clad women are far too awkward to be sexy in any way.

So unless this is a masterpiece of experimental filmmaking where I'm missing all of the nuance and subtle philosophy, this amounts to an utterly worthless waste of time.

Being a fan of Linnea Quigley this was something i needed to see. The 'movie' starts off with Linnea talking about her career and how strange some of her movie choices. then she gets into some stretches. she wearing a studded bra and fish nets. so you know its all about the workout. there's three workout scenes that are tied together with some wrap around stories of her getting hit on by some repulsive caller who Linnea wants to call her later. Or going out for a nice jog to get stalked by a hoard of zombies, which they end up having a pool side workout, which is really funny. then the slumber party workout, with scantily clad women doing very pervocative poses which is all meant for one reason. then you get the great twist at the end.

if you want to throw this on have a few good laughs and watch Linnea dance around id throw it in.

An absolute must see for fans of national treasure Linnea Quigley. How anyone could dislike an entire "movie" devoted to her is beyond me. This is a collection of clips from her films with new segments featuring Linnea showering and working out. It's all sexy fun just like the star. If this doesn't put a smile on your face you might want to check your pulse.

I may be a bit biased on this one because I have an autographed copy of the video...

This video is great fun though. I like to pop it in at a party or when the guys are over..it's good, fun, mindless entertainment.

I work out my eyes regularly to this video.

There are some great clips of Linnea's movies as well as cheesy humor and a few exercise sessions.

The opening shower scene is funny as well as hot. It's a great way to start of this video which finishes off funny, with outtakes and goofs.

Not for everyone, but a good party tape.

My review was written in May 1990 after watching the program on Cinema Home Video cassette.

A cute satire of exercise videos, this horror-themed tape boasts the luscious Linnea Quigley (before she dropped her last name from her billing) but runs a good gag into the ground.

Opener is a tantalizing shower scene with Linnea, the the tape segues to a 10-minute segment of film clips from her B-picture videos like "Creepozoids" and "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama", mostly made by the show's executive producer David DeCoteau.

Quigley leads the viewer in various stretching and aerobic exercises, but the gimmick is that monsters or slashers attack, cueing interesting makeup effects. Unfortunately, the tedium of the exercise routines is retained along with the satire.

One imaginative segment has her out jogging, pursued by a horde of zombies who rise up out of a cemetery. When they get her cornered by a swimming pool, Linnea yells "You're a mess!" and leads them in comical exercise routines.

Another highlight is a slumber party with pretty young starlets joining the star in aerobics and watching tv. Identity of the maniacal slasher wearing a Ronald Reagan mask is easy to guess.

Show ends with outtakes. Shot of a clapperboard reveal the pseudonymous director as Kenneth J. Hall, helmer of the horror video "Evil Spawn".
