Dead Sexy - Sexy, aber tot!

Of all the "Basic Instinct" copies that have been made since 1992 (and there are plenty), "Dead Sexy" must be one of the most blatant. Sure, it switches the genders of the two main characters, but keeps almost everything else the same, right down to the only other suspect for the killings being someone within the police force who has hidden ties to the primary suspect. Of course "Dead Sexy" does not come anywhere near the style and suspense and general quality of the Verhoeven film, but on its own low-budget straight-to-video terms it's a fair way to pass some time. Shannon Tweed is acceptable, Sam Jones (as her partner) is even better, injecting some needed humor into the proceedings. As for the matter of the body double, I personally cannot understand why Tweed felt the need to use one. She showed everything - and it looked good as usual - in "The Rowdy Girls", made in 2000; what could have changed so much over a year? (**)

For me to write a bad revue of a Shannon Tweed's movie,has to be very bad.I've been following Shannon's movie progress since the first one she made wich I own.In this movie wich she is the star was a blow for me because when you see Shannon's name it means nudity and sexy scenes,but in this one she does not carry the movie as the star.Every girl that appear in this so call movie is naked,except Shannon Tweed the Star.Why did she follow that route after establishing her name in those so call erotic thriller is beyond me.I love Shannon's work most of the time.She is not a great actress but she is a good one.When I bought this movie, since Shannon Tweed was the star I was expecting the same kind of good work like she did before.Not this time,not even close.Lots of shots of her face and legs,one sex scene and she use a body double.I'm Canadian like she is.I really hope she won't finish a good stack of work on this note.When I bought Shannon's movie I knew I would get beauty ,sensuality and good acting.It is sad for me to distrust an actress that I use to love and trust in her work.So so sad to end that way.

"Dead Sexy" is as far as I remember Shannon Tweed's last soft core sex movie. The truth is that the plot is kind of entertaining but the sex scenes truly let me down.

It's rumored that Shannon used a body double in her only sex scene which is by far, the worst she has done. It's like a copy of her infamous "Singapore Sling" sex scene but this time, with minimal sleaze or anything.

The other women, apart from Shannon, are really hot! Specially Holly Sampson, Mary Shannon, and the always sexy Nancy Vee. Unfortunately, their sex scenes aren't as steamy as expected.

Stay away from "Dead Sexy" because if you are looking for sex it will let you down.

I really tried to like this one and after the opening sequence which features a sex scene, I thought this was going to be good... sadly, it didn't. Among Tweed's worst if not the worst of them all.

A low budget Basic Instinct clone (as if we needed another one), this vehicle for ageing soft-core star Shannon Tweed (43 and looking it) features far more sex and nudity than Verhoeven's classic erotic thriller, but none of the style (you don't say!).

Tweed plays detective Kate McBain, whose latest case—the murder of several blonde-haired call girls—takes a dangerous turn when she goes undercover and becomes physically involved with the prime suspect, billionaire Blue Dresden (John Enos). As Kate 'investigates', she becomes convinced of Blue's innocence, her suspicions falling upon her police colleagues (seasoned detective Rackles, played by Sam Jones, and young hotshot Billy Trainer, played by Eric Keith).

Flatly directed by Robert Angelo, with perfunctory performances all round, Dead Sexy is an unremarkable thriller that treads water between several uninspired soft-core sex scenes. Even the most die-hard fans of Tweed will be disappointed, the star employing a body double for her romp with Enos.

Shannon Tweed strikes again in this thriller about the murders of high-priced escorts. She is the cop on the case, and begins getting an itch south of the navel for her prime suspect (John Enos). The red herrings are laughably obvious and the several sex scenes are all exactly the same (woman on top with lots of jumping and shouting). Even worse, Tweed opts this time to use a body double. This is a movie that fails to satisfy on just about every level.
