Naked Fear, The Hunting of a Stripper

Okay, I admit, no one has enjoyed 2007's "Naked Fear" as much as I have. A gritty and brutal tale of exotic dancer vs. man and nature. Perhaps this is a metaphor for young actresses in Hollywood or coeds at universities...naive meat ready to be picked apart by vicious predators. We do have a nubile stripper...er...exotic dancer...a torture chamber....a rattlesnake...and a psychopathic killer looking to rid the world of prostitution and vice...prude! Directed by Thom Eberhardt, "Naked Fear" is unforgiving and vicious...and what an ending!

Diana (Danielle De Luca) wins a wet t-shirt contest, and is offered a job hundreds of miles away. She arrives in a border town and is blackmailed to work as a stripper (yeah right...dancer). As the weeks go by she is forced to earn more money, and in the stripper world, that means lap dances, sex, and other favors. One night she allows herself to go home with clean cut (not!) Colin (J.D. Garfield). Colin may seem nice but he chloroforms Diana and brings her home to his torture chamber, filled with torture tools, bondage equipment, and an electrical cattle prod. After a lot of torture Colin flies her into the wilderness where help is hundreds of miles away. Nude and beaten, Diana is set loose with a 15 minute head start.

Colin then tracks the nude beauty. I know...you saw this on the Discovery Channel! Battling rattlesnakes and thorn bushes, Diana runs for her life. Colin, armed with a crossbow and a high-powered rifle pursues and taunts. The naked and afraid beauty begins using her brain and makes the hunt a fair (okay, maybe not totally fair) fight. Colin proves to be a horrific monster as we will see him kill innocents along the way, not that strippers aren't innocent.  If you don't like seeing cute kids blown away...don't watch this move. As Diana jiggles, wiggles, and jiggles some more, she begins to develop her own plan for survival.

Does the naked and afraid Diana, and all her jiggling parts, have a shot at survival? Did this 2007 film inspire the next decade of programming on Discover Channel? Is the film's plot too gratuitous to be discussed in polite company? Oh yes, the ending! Wow! This isn't just an ending...its an ending and a half!  For some prurient pleasure and acute violence and gore, see "Naked Fear."
