Very good treatment of an old story, beautiful girls being bumped off by a serial killer ("Pretty Maids All In a Row") at a modeling agency ("Looker") with a "He's my boss-slap-He's my father-slap-He's my Boss And My Father" twist. But the great thing here is the casting. Never have I seen Tom Skerritt so charismatic, this is a terrific tryout for "Basic Instinct" for Sharon Stone, and the dangerously sexy chemistry between them fairly oozes out of the screen, Robert Morse also has a chance to demonstrate his range as the slimy, loathsome fashion show emcee. Though the plot resolution, as expected by that point, comes very quickly toward the end, I still enjoyed the way it was played out, with a mad tirade from former "Angel of the Year" calendar girl, Ms. Stone..
Loved it.
