Proper camp 90s thrillers

[Debbie Jellinsky]

I love her vocal style!

Watching SWF and want a bowl cut

So avant-garde!

Stiletto in the eyeball! One of my favs.

A struggling single mom forced to work the pole to win her daughter back becomes embroiled in a murderous political scandal... I like to imagine Demi Moore was told she was appearing in a hard-hitting drama about the sex industry and everyone else was told they were in Showgirls 2.

Watching this tonight!

This is camp trash (although very knowingly so)

 

[Kratz]

Anybody seen this?

Anybody seen this?

I think @ButterTart is a fan

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

Malice is fine, worth a watch.

 

[Kratz]

The lifestyles in this genre are so aspirational.

All I want is somebody to steal my baby and try to impale me on a white picket fence.

 

[jivafox]

I’m halfway through Striptease and it is all kinds of iconic.

WHY does she only strip to Annie Lennox songs?!

Anyone remember this from 2009/10? A galant attempt to reboot the genre

I saw it at the cinema and I was NOT ready for that sapphic love scene between Amanda and Julianne.

 

[Kratz]

I only recently discovered this was based on a novel by IRA LEVIN. Rosemary’s Baby it was not

Watching this now. What was going on with Sharon Stone's sex acting?

She HATED Billy Baldwin.

 

[straightorbroken]

And of course even before that

I love Ellen Barkin.

 

[straightorbroken]

Listen (1996)

From the director of Stag (1997), which I actually own, but have never seen.

 

[KindaCool]

The cordless phone lol

 

[straightorbroken]

Had no idea Taylor Dayne plays the female lead in Stag (1997). Okay it's on soon.

 

[Alla]

I need to add this madness

 

[jivafox]

Might give this a go this evening

 

[Shoat]

Is that Phoebe Price?

 

[KindaCool]

Is that Phoebe Price?

I wish

I got this for Christmas which is a 4 hour deep dive documentary into this genre, and covers EVERYTHING from the 40s and even the ropey straight to VHS Shannon Tweed fodder like the above

 

[jyxz]

Omg. This looks must try and find it!

A tough L.A. cop and the teen sister of the ballerina whose murder he's investigating become targeted by a sinister cult that secretly runs the city.

 

[SystemAddict]

I remember a SLEW of campy American television thrillers being released direct to video evey week in the 90s, providing steady income for Donna Mills and Josie Bissett.

THIS was a particular favourite with Alexandra Paul (aka the dull one from Baywatch) being terrorised by a scenery chewing QUEEN who shrieked his way through most of it.

Maybe in addition to @COB‘s Creepers one time we could do a group watch of one of these. Shame we missed it as a Valentine’s special.
