Story Synopsis:
A funny parody of erotic thrillers. Hexina (Christian) is a famous French supermodel who comes to stay at the hotel where Matthew (Gross) works as a desk clerk. They meet and Matthew soon discovers that Hexina is really an escaped American lunatic whose intentions are to kill everybody she encounters - 32 people at last count.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture exhibits a soft, film-like quality and subdued colors. Some viewers may find the colors a little too soft and a little too subdued for their taste as I did. Otherwise the hues appear natural. The transfer is matted to a 1.85:1 aspect ratio.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
While Dolby Surround® is credited for the soundtrack there is virtually no surrounds heard throughout the movie, not even subtle surround effects. Bandwidth is quite limited with no real extension of either bass or treble. This causes the sound to be unappealing.
