Great Film overall

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

SEXY KILLER is a one-of-a-kind Spanish production that tells the story of the titular character, a female serial killer who goes around bumping off everybody who falls foul of her. The story is told in a light-hearted and jokey way despite the copious amounts of spraying bloodshed and gore, with the star frequently breaking the fourth wall of cinema by turning to address the viewer.It's a simplistic tale but a madcap one, packed with high energy. The narrative is jiggled with so that various parts are told in flashback, perhaps to hide what would otherwise be a predictable tale. The main issue I had with it was that I found chief actress Macarena Gomez's acting to be a bit lacking and her character to be entirely unsympathetic; if they'd somehow managed to make the killer a likable creation then this would have been a lot better.Still, things do pick up in the second half, with a twist in the story bringing zombies to play, and then we get some BRAINDEAD-style mayhem in the big climax. Horror fans will enjoy the many and frequent references to classics of the genre, but make no mistake, this is a simple black comedy done up to look like more than it is.

"Sexy Killer," is a Spanish genre bending film. The title begets a great deal of what the film is about, yet leaves some major developments a surprise for the viewer. As a whole, this is nowhere near perfect film making. It is however, an engrossing movie that meets most technical expectations and exceeds a few expectations regarding story. SK does not take itself seriously, as long as the audience follows suit, the movie is very enjoyable.The goal of this film is to present the absurdist story of a female serial killer who must deal with her own views on killing, love, and zombies. In addition, the film does put forth some mild social commentary regarding consumerism and the role of determination in one's life. At this point, hopefully a potential viewer is interested, yet understands that this film is resigned to hyperbole and shocking visuals.As with all movies, SK relies on a few assumptions to keep its narrative engine going. The first is that murder as a whole is easy to get away with. The heroine kills a great many people in some very public ways and just cannot get caught. Any sense of realism is quickly jettisoned so that the audience can focus on the quirks and endearing behaviors of the sociopathic heroine. A second assumption is that whatever needs to happen surely will. The film as a whole is somewhat dues ex machine. On the surface this sounds like a terrible script or story. The actuality is that the film is an almost stream of consciousness ride through absurd crime/horror/zombie genre mixing. The effect is very humorous and at times laugh out loud funny. Following from the previous example, the film requires that the audience be open to and accepting of zombification via "brain machine" and the drug ecstasy. How does it work? What does it mean for the world of the film? These are questions that go unanswered and frankly shouldn't even be asked.There are three noticeable and annoying faults with the film. First, the Spanish dialog is very fast. Being a non-Spanish speaker, this lead to some difficulties with the sub-titling. A cautionary note, be prepared to read very quickly. Second, at some points the CGI is outright laughably bad. Depending on view, this may not be a fault. I found the poor quality funny but also somewhat of a cheap cop out from more creative story telling techniques. Lastly, the messages about consumerism and determinism are reduced in weight due to the story telling style. Attempting a serious social commentary while having tongue firmly stuck in cheek leads to what would literally happen: garbled speech.The film does overcome the above faults. As a whole, the story is well paced and the audience is given very little time to be bored or quietly contemplative. The characters, albeit strange, are developed to the point that they are not two dimensional fluff. Rather, the characters are a likable mixture of faults and strengths balanced by idiosyncratic personality. In essence, the film as a whole is funny, exciting, and filled with interesting visuals. If you are a fan of mild satire, zombies, and attractive people doing strange things, this is the film for you.On a personal note, I will be pushing this film on friends until I am yelled at for being obnoxious. This is a film you should see. 6.5 stars out of ten.

The movie is almost to clever for itself. Breaking the 4th wall very early on, it still tries to be a "relatively" normal movie. It's a parody of course, but as it is very self-aware and self-conscious, the jokes are hit and miss.It's a nice change to have a woman being in the lead role, in a movie like this, but in the end, even that joke is worn off, pretty quickly. It's actually pretty silly and you can have a lot of fun, if you stop thinking about a few things. So just try to enjoy it if you can and not see the many mistakes/flaws the story has. A funny horror movie that dares to be bloody and funny at the same time then ...

Sexy Killer is a Spanish comedy about a woman who as the title states is a serial killer and very sexy. Can she continue her work of killing and find love?This movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival Sept 12th 2008 and was received very positively in both showings. Festival audiences generally greet films warmly, but both audiences were exceptionally enthusiastic about this film. In the showing I attended people laughed throughout and there were even a couple instances were they applauded DURING the movie, which is a rare thing. And this was even considering that it was being seen by a largely English-speaking audience and it's in Spanish with sub-titles!I think what made people respond so strongly was first, the movie was just a huge amount of fun. If there was slow boring moment in the movie I wasn't aware of it. Secondly was the serial killer herself, played charismatically by Macarena Gomez, who is so unapologetic, certain in her own justification for killing, so gleeful in her work, that you can't help but hope the best for her! You may even find yourself cheering for her!!While Sexy Killer, does reference a few Hollywood horror films, it is far more than a parody and stands on it's own a good solid comedy. There are some gory moments in the movie (a couple of which get huge laughs), so it might not be OK for very young children but it is all played for fun.This was my last movie of the Festival and a great way to end it!
