Dead Girls

My review was written in August 1990 after watching the movie on Raedon video cassette.

Maximum number of plot twists highlight the whodunit "Dead Girls", a topical film dealing with the influence of a rock group's morbid lyrics on its fans.

Diana Karanikas and Angela Eads headline the title rock group, whose music exploits suicide and death. Karanikas' sister Ilene B. Singer barely survives when she and her fellow teens execute a suicide pact induced by sis' lyrics.

While hanging out in a remote cabin with Singer along to recuperate, the group members become victims one by one of a maniacal killer. Steve Jarvis' script does a good job of pointing suspicion at virtually everyone in tghe cast until hard-to-guess final reel plot twists solve the mystery.

Extremely gory scenes will limit the audience for this picture, which also overstays its welcome by about a reel. Acting is okay but, despite the premise, we neve see the group perform a number.
