HARD TO DIE 1990 (NEW CONCORD)

One of the most enjoyable films I have ever seen.

Jim Wynorski helmed this mixture of horror, gore and comedy in which five gorgeous women are hired by a temp agency to do the inventory for a lingerie store located in a high rise.

They soon find themselves very afraid of a janitor named Orville Ketchum (Peter Spellos). Everyone believes that Orville is a killer who wiped out a house of sorority sisters a few years earlier.

Meanwhile the women decide to steer clear of Orville and do their work so they haul a bunch of boxes from the basement into the main office and begin their task, but darn, before they get started they decide to take a shower in the main office shower and so we are treated to seeing every one of these women naked in the shower.

After shower time they all dress in skimpy lingerie and then have another accident. They unleash the spirit of the real killer of the sorority sisters from a strange "spirit box".

Soon it's a fight for survival between the women and the evil spirit that has taken over one of the women. Ketchum tries to help the women, but they misunderstand him and repeatedly stab and shoot him, but....Orville doesn't die easy.

Hence the last 20 minutes of this film is full of explosions and machine gun fire. I won't spoil it for you in case you haven't stumbled on this gem.

There is plenty of eye candy with women like Gail Thackray, Karen Mayo Chandler, Bridget Carney and the stunning Melissa Moore first dressed in super short and tight dresses and then later lingerie.

I have always been a HUGE fan of Melissa Moore. This 6' blonde goddess is to me a perfect woman. When I was in the movie business I was well aware of her and later found out we shared the same birthday but one year apart. Damn, I should of married her.

Anyway, if you're looking for eye candy and action, this film delivers on every level and there are plenty of laughs along the way, including the incredible ending title card.

I don't believe this movie has ever been available on DVD, but I keep hoping. My copy comes from a VHS that I dubbed onto Disc many years ago. A VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED movie!!!
