Meet Amber, Brandy and Cassie. These girls are about to encounter a paranormal force that is going to make them question the need for the opposite sex.
Oh sheesh...
A group of girls moves into a house that is occupied by a randy ghost and the girls quickly learn boyfriends aren't appreciated by the salacious spirit. Instead of being worried about this, they throw a slumber party with some of their buxom friends. Things eventually turn for the worst for our ghost lovers.
While this had plenty of chances to be a sleaze fest, it wasn't. It was actually tastefully done, well as tasteful as a ghost giving college-aged girls orgasms can be. There is nudity but not much. However, most of the topless girls have definitely spent a fortune on their enhancements.
Dead Sexy was better than it should have been, but it wasn't exactly good either.
I don't know if the movie channels still do it, but back in my day, after midnight, Cinemax and such would fill the airwaves with raunchy unrated sexy fare that had tiny amounts of plot and copious amounts of hot! Girls washing things in bikinis was a big story point. Cars, planes, each other, nothing was safe from a large breasted lady in a bikini's soapy suds. I feel like I am getting away from my point here. Dead Sexy would fit right in with those films. So, if that was what the makers were going for, then mission accomplished. The problem is, those films were all kind of crap, so homaging them may not be a good thing.
Anyways,…
“Girl, you look good!”
”I’m not a girl…
(*deep male voice*) I’m a woman.”
Surprisingly, this wasn’t at all what I expected.
What I expected was a sleazy sex comedy full of nudity in place of substance. What I actually got was a somewhat well written sex comedy that sometimes teeters on the line between raunchy comedy and softcore porn, that barely has any nudity at all, and was actually entertaining.
That final line though…
As amaturistic, juvenile, and sleazy as this gets, I actually genuiningly laughed at a few funny lines. But that doesn't give it a pass. It still was awful.
This movie should have been titled.. 50 Shades of Skray! There is soooo much fuckery going on in this! Theres boobs galore, a haunted house, ghost sex, bondage ghost sex... I won’t spoil it all... but the grand reveal at the end was freakin epic... lmfao!!! Can’t wait for part 2! Lol
So you take the scene from Ghostbusters where Dan Aykroyd is getting a hummer from a ghost and you swap Aykroyd for multiple women, most of which can't act, and you extend the scene for 90 minutes; That's Dead Sexy.
There are a few highlights. The only girl that can act is Jacqi Vene and I'm being pretty generous with that statement. A.J. Villarreal as their Trans friend has a few good moments, mostly when she switches to man voice.
The person with the most ability is Travis Leonard as the manager of Pirate's Booty. He has great comedic timing and it feels like he understands how to make something "unfunny", funny.
Another brutally unfunny horror comedy rolled up into a sex comedy. This is a two location shoot happening either at a restaurant/bar or at a ghost house where the ghost ghost-sexes the three leads in a series of very painful sequences that have all the eroticism of goat manure. The girls are good looking but can't act for shit and certainly can't deliver a joke to save their lives.
This would get the absolute lowest rating possible, but I did laugh a few times at the performance of Aj Villareal as Bunny the trans waitress.
the ghost is transphobic???????????? if i wrote this it would have been good and also not a movie and also not released to the public
OK, all of this was so incredibly, lamely, cheaply, just-put-the-sign-on-the-wall-and-it's-a-set, but I want to say this: the guy who played the boss at the pirate restaurant (yeah, I don't know either), Shaun Michael McNamara, was really good. Like, one really, incredible performance in a sea of trash that lasted for five minutes and then was gone. It was wild.
A jealous, trans-phobic ghost rapes a bunch of bimbos until they're so pleasured they finally learn something or something and fall for the guys that where in their lives all along... neat.
Only slightly interesting thanks to A.J. Villarreal who lasted all of 20 minutes into the movie.
WITH A SHOCKING TWIST ENDING TO BOOT!!!
There's a bunch of behind the scenes clips during the credits which are way more interesting than the movie itself, but most telling, the final clip is an actor asking what his character's last name is...the direct chuckles, and replies, "it's not a well thought out script."
