Leofwine_draca SEXY KILLER is a one-of-a-kind Spanish production that tells the story of the titular character, a female serial killer who goes around bumping off everybody who falls foul of her. The story is told in a light-hearted and jokey way despite the copious amounts of spraying bloodshed and gore, with the star frequently breaking the fourth wall of cinema by turning to address the viewer.It's a simplistic tale but a madcap one, packed with high energy. The narrative is jiggled with so that various parts are told in flashback, perhaps to hide what would otherwise be a predictable tale. The main issue I had with it was that I found chief actress Macarena Gomez's acting to be a bit lacking and her character to be entirely unsympathetic; if they'd somehow managed to make the killer a likable creation then this would have been a lot better.Still, things do pick up in the second half, with a twist in the story bringing zombies to play, and then we get some BRAINDEAD-style mayhem in the big climax. Horror fans will enjoy the many and frequent references to classics of the genre, but make no mistake, this is a simple black comedy done up to look like more than it is.

BA_Harrison Having overheard him talking about cutting up bodies, sexy serial killer Bárbara (Macarena Gómez) gets the hots for pathologist Álex (Alejo Sauras), believing him to be a kindred spirit. Álex, blissfully unaware of the lovely lady's true nature, is more than happy for the attention, but his life gets a whole lot more complicated after he tests his experimental brain impulse decoder on Bárbara's victims in an attempt to discover the killer's identity: the machine has the unfortunate side-effect of bringing the dead back to life as ravenous zombies!Sexykiller, from Spanish director Miguel Martí, definitely doesn't have any lofty pretencions: it simply wants to be a whole load of schlocky fun for the midnight movie crowd—and in that it mostly succeeds. From opening immediately with a changing room scene full of hot Latino girls in various states of undress, to breaking the fourth wall by having sexy psycho Bárbara talk to the viewer, to impromptu song and dance routines, to the sudden switch from serial killer flick to zombie movie, to the copious amounts of gore, there is plenty here to lend the film cult appeal. Director Marti does seem to be trying just a little too hard to please at times, some of the morbid humour and absurdist elements feeling a bit strained, so the film is probably best watched with a few cervezas in the belly, when it's easy to be more lenient about such things.

smccar77 "Sexy Killer," is a Spanish genre bending film. The title begets a great deal of what the film is about, yet leaves some major developments a surprise for the viewer. As a whole, this is nowhere near perfect film making. It is however, an engrossing movie that meets most technical expectations and exceeds a few expectations regarding story. SK does not take itself seriously, as long as the audience follows suit, the movie is very enjoyable.The goal of this film is to present the absurdist story of a female serial killer who must deal with her own views on killing, love, and zombies. In addition, the film does put forth some mild social commentary regarding consumerism and the role of determination in one's life. At this point, hopefully a potential viewer is interested, yet understands that this film is resigned to hyperbole and shocking visuals.As with all movies, SK relies on a few assumptions to keep its narrative engine going. The first is that murder as a whole is easy to get away with. The heroine kills a great many people in some very public ways and just cannot get caught. Any sense of realism is quickly jettisoned so that the audience can focus on the quirks and endearing behaviors of the sociopathic heroine. A second assumption is that whatever needs to happen surely will. The film as a whole is somewhat dues ex machine. On the surface this sounds like a terrible script or story. The actuality is that the film is an almost stream of consciousness ride through absurd crime/horror/zombie genre mixing. The effect is very humorous and at times laugh out loud funny. Following from the previous example, the film requires that the audience be open to and accepting of zombification via "brain machine" and the drug ecstasy. How does it work? What does it mean for the world of the film? These are questions that go unanswered and frankly shouldn't even be asked.There are three noticeable and annoying faults with the film. First, the Spanish dialog is very fast. Being a non-Spanish speaker, this lead to some difficulties with the sub-titling. A cautionary note, be prepared to read very quickly. Second, at some points the CGI is outright laughably bad. Depending on view, this may not be a fault. I found the poor quality funny but also somewhat of a cheap cop out from more creative story telling techniques. Lastly, the messages about consumerism and determinism are reduced in weight due to the story telling style. Attempting a serious social commentary while having tongue firmly stuck in cheek leads to what would literally happen: garbled speech.The film does overcome the above faults. As a whole, the story is well paced and the audience is given very little time to be bored or quietly contemplative. The characters, albeit strange, are developed to the point that they are not two dimensional fluff. Rather, the characters are a likable mixture of faults and strengths balanced by idiosyncratic personality. In essence, the film as a whole is funny, exciting, and filled with interesting visuals. If you are a fan of mild satire, zombies, and attractive people doing strange things, this is the film for you.On a personal note, I will be pushing this film on friends until I am yelled at for being obnoxious. This is a film you should see. 6.5 stars out of ten.

Coventry This movie materializes the ultimate definition of a crowd-pleaser. I watched "Sexy Killer" in a practically sold-out theater at the Brussels International Fantasy Film Festival and the whole audience literally went out of their minds with enthusiasm and delirium. This is a pleasantly deranged, no-barrels-held, unscrupulous and 100% original miscellany of bloody horror and vulgar comedy; easily the most flamboyant movie of its type of the last 10 years or so. Many movies ambitiously try to mix horror and comedy ingredients but miserably fail, whereas "Sexy Killer" succeeds without seemingly too much efforts. I won't claim all gags and comical references are equally triumphant, but generally speaking this Spanish movie from director Miguel Martí ("Fin de Curso") and writer Paco Cabezas ("The Appeared") is a genuine winner and I hope it will find popularity and distribution outside of the Festival circuit as well. The main trump of the film is undoubtedly lead actress Macarena Gómez and her unique depiction of the eccentric yet lovable protagonist character Barbara. She's a medical student with the vanity and obnoxious ego of Paris Hilton and the homicidal tendencies of Ted Bundy. Barbara addresses to the camera and explains in great detail how she commits the murders and why (kind of like in "Man Bites Dog" but even sillier) and she considers herself to be a very normal twenty-something girl with normal needs and desires. She doesn't even need to cover up her serial killing crimes, because who would ever suspect a cute, fragile and cherubic looking student like her? But then our serial killer queen falls in love, and her brainiac-boyfriend just invented a device that brings all of Barbara's murder victims back to life as vengeful zombies. Will she be stolid enough to kill them all again and live happily ever with her boyfriend? Miguel Martí and Paco Cabezas are obviously two completely horror-obsessed geeks, as they processed a massive number of tributes, inside jokes and references towards several classics of the genre into their screenplay. The fact they couldn't decide to make a serial killer movie or a zombie flick and then simply combined the two themes into one demented movie should already say enough about their devotion to the world of horror. "Sexy Killer" is an unceasingly entertaining movie, with colorful characters and typical horror clichés that are deliberately magnified to emphasize the comedic effect. There's the stalk-and-slaughter scene at the girls' locker room at the beginning (with a fantastic twist), the zombie resurrecting sequence at the morgue, the fraternity house party turning into a bloodbath near the end and much, much more! The gore effects are explicit, the sleaze is gratuitous and the humor is often crude and tasteless, but yet this movie remains accessible and hilarious at all times. See this film, if possible with friends and a truckload of alcohol and you will have a guaranteed blast.
