Horror Hunks: Killer Body Count

Mistaken as a sex addict by her dad, Cami is sent off to a remote religious treatment center where the other kids are being hunted by a killer.

I liked Killer Body Count, but I didn't necessarily love it.  It the proper ingredients to make a great horror story, but somehow, they didn't all gel.  A good looking, and very talented cast, led by a group of male hotties including: Brett Kruger, Nahum Hughes, Ethan Saunders, Thinus Viljoen and Colin Moss.  It certainly gave us a bit of male skin as you can see from the images below. 

Hughes

The story however, just didn't come together for me.  In party, it might have been that felt like they were holding back.  It felt they were going for the 'pray away the gay' theme, but then decided that making their hot teen sex addicts might bring in a larger audience.  It also might be that all of the big scenes, the killings, the nude and shower scenes, all seemed a little too manufactured, making them a little to safe.

Saunders

One of the scenes I mean is the butchering of Rob, played by hot ginger Ethan Saunders.  I want to say Sanders has a great body, but it was hard to tell if we really actually saw much of the actual Saunders.  The scene was laughably fake, making it seem the producers weren't even attempting to hide how much CGI was being used.  I hate, but accept that CGI is apart of most movies these days, but I hate when it so clear and obvious. 


I don't really blame director Danishka Esterhazy exclusively, Esterhazy has given us great male nude scenes previously.  Some of you may remember actor Eden Classens's shower scene in 2021's Slumber Party Massacre.  I think it most likely is more to do with the budgets that these 'cable' movies and their producers, editors and directors,  have to work with.

Kruger

Hughes

The shower scene was also frustrating, but I in this case, I don't think it was budget.  Esterhazy gave us long, lingering views of those killer bodies, yet the editing turned it slightly annoying.  The two hotties soaping up were Hughes and Kruger, but there no full body shots to identify which actor belonged to the beautiful butt we were all enjoying.  I'm guessing it was Hughes, but it could have been either actor, or even a body double given the way the scene was edited and shot.

Kruger

Although there were elements that frustrated me, as stated, I did enjoy the film.  I'm also a big fan of Esterhazy, and watching Killer Body Count has me wanting to go back and see some the directors previous films that I haven't watched yet.
