KILLER WORKOUT (1986)

[Update 10/26/2021: Need to redo this review completely.]

One year before director/writer David A. Prior cured terminal butt cancer with DEADLY PREY he created maybe the first slasher movie set in a gym. I could be completely wrong, but I think I'm right. So, anyway the members at Rhonda's Workout are dropping like flies, but that can't stop the aerobic workout class! You have a stabbing in a shower (with no visible wounds), a skull stabbing in a car, face gouging in a back alley, a dumbbell to the skull, all the standard slasher stuff but done very low budget. Sadly the killer has no personality or style. So the highlight of the movie ended up being the 80's fashion and the stiff acting.

If you're into slashers then it's worth checking, but everybody else will probably only find it good for the laughs.
