Fun picture plenty of killings , thrills , chills , amusement , ironical touches , and usual Zombies . Bárbara (Macarena Gómez) is a co-ed of a prestigious medicine university . She is a femme fatale fashionista at a trendy design school who embarks on a brutal and bloody killing spree . Meanwhile , Tomás (César Camíno) and Alex (Alejo Sauras) are experimenting about broadcasting vital images , these experiments lead to unexpected consequences .
Lots of gags and sketches , some of them funny but movie lacks a real freshness . Spoof movie with a myriad of silly and unimaginative gags , though it has its good moments here and there . And blending audio-visual narrative , as television style as advertisement spots ; in addition , comic-books esthetic and Split-screen (similarly to ¨Hulk¨ , 2003, by Ang Lee) . ¨Sexy Killer¨ is more a nutty comedy than a terror movie . This is a hilarious parody/crime , surrealist , extreme spoof and gross out but is also intelligent and bold . As always , the cinematographic references are numerous and provide silly laughs from start to finish , the amusement is guess what films result to be , as there are several cinematic remarks from famous movies , such as : ¨Carrie¨(at the prologue) , ¨13th Friday¨ , ¨Taxi Driver¨ , ¨Crocodrile Dundee¨ , ¨Dead Evil¨ , ¨From dusk to dawn¨, ¨Scream¨, and including the gore-feast-surgery of ¨Reanimator¨ and splatter of ¨Braindead¨.
Fun acting by Macarena Gómez as a feisty and lethal psycho-killer fashion victim, while gleefully evading the hapless cops assigned to the murder cases . Sexykiller character is a crossover of a fashion young Hannibal Lecter and Patrick Bateman including the Paris Hilton wardrobe style. She is supported by known TV actors as Alejo Sauras , César Camino , Ramón Langa and the veteran , recently deceased Angel Andrés López who played along with Macarena Gómez in ¨Platillos Volantes¨. Besides , Javier Botet who played the girl Medeiros in ¨Rec¨saga by Jaime Balagueró and Paco Plaza .
Appropriate and colorful cinematography by Carlos Gusi who has photographed hits as ¨Torrente¨, ¨Box 507¨ , ¨Cell 211¨ , ¨Take my eyes¨ , and ¨El Niño¨ . Gusi photographs splendidly the wonderful exteriors from Comillas , Cantabria where ¨Sexykilller¨ was colorfully shot . Moving musical score by Fernando Velazquez who previously composed for successful terror/thriller films as ¨The orphanage¨ , ¨For the good of others¨ , ¨Julia's eyes¨ and ¨Devil¨ . .Amusing and surprising screenplay by Pablo Cabezas . Paco is a good screen-writer such as ¨Bon Appetit¨ (2010) , ¨Spanish movie¨(2009) , ¨Sexy killer¨(2008) and a notorious filmmaker , especially known for Carne Neón (2010), and his first feature length project : ¨Aparecidos¨ (2007) , being subsequently hired by Hollywood/Nicolas Cage , where directed Tokarev (2014) . Furthermore , ¨Men with No Fear¨ and ¨Mr. Right¨ with big Hollywood name stars . This motion picture titled ¨Sexykiller¨(firstly titled Barbykiller) was professionally directed by Miguel Martí , an expert on crazy comedies , as he proved in ¨Slam¨ and ¨Fin De Curso¨ . ¨SexyKiller¨ had world premiere in 2008 Toronto Film Festival and in the Official Section in Sitges Festival . However , some reviewers panned it , describing it as a cheap pastiche .
