It all starts with beauty surgery that goes horribly wrong - inasmuch
as the patient (Amber Erlandsson) dies. Flash forwards a couple of decades
into the future, and to Jack's (Stuart Brennan) Babealicious TV
studio where girls rolling around on beds in lingerie accept live calls to
get off their callers with dirty talk. On camera, it all looks hot and
sexy, but behind the scenes, these girls (including Dani Thompson, Suzi
Lorraine, Ashleigh Lawrence, Lucinda Rhodes, Brandy Brewer, Jessica Ann
Bonner, Suzy Deakin, Dolly Diamond) like nothing better than to lash out
at one another ... well, or even at the waitress of the club they
usually hand out at (Debbie Rochon), whom they even persuade to audition
for the channel - even if they know she hasn't got a chance and it will
only hurt her self-esteem - so in most ways, Babealicious TV is
just a workplace like any other, really ... until the girls start to
disappear one by one, and then the power goes down in the whole place, and
since all the doors are electronically controlled, there's no way out -
but the girls continue disappearing and are eventually found dead,
murdered - and now the workplace full of bitches has suddenly turned into
an actual death trap ... Now I won't go nearly as far as saying
Serial Kaller is treading any new ground - it's a slasher movie,
and that's plain enough for everyone to see. But what it does this movie
does really good: It not only delivers in terms of suspense, creative
killings and gore, it also presents the audience with fresh characters and
amusing character arcs, plus loads of sexy girls wearing very little (but
there's also very little actual nudity), and a light-footed directorial
approach to the whole thing. In a word (or a few at least), it's really
good genre fun, that one.
