Murder in Miami, Gratuitous and Sultry...and Gory

She's a real dish! Supermodel Stella (Nicole Marcos)! She arrives home to her luxury flat overlooking Miami's South Beach. Clad in a sleek, satin party dress and looking good. Quickly she sheds her dress, walks around nude, knowing how good she looks...then...so sad. As she drapes a see-through negligee over her shoulders, the killer strikes. He pummels her and burns her face off...then throws her off the balcony, hence the 2014 film "Murder in Miami" begins.
Beautiful models in Miami are being horribly murdered. Really bloody murders, kind of like a 1970s Giallo film. Suspects? Oh yes, a good one. The cops are keying in on a fashion photographer, James (Joseph Myers). He was the last to see Stella alive and of course had pre-marital sex with her. James is a real jerk to women, abusing them, using them, and casting them aside. The sultry Avril (Jocelyn Binder) is next, she'll die just like Janet Leigh did in "Psycho," except this scene will be in full color. Yep, James was intimate with her too just before her murder. No one believes James except his weird sugar-mama Lana (Bambi la Fleur), who just happens to be insanely jealous at his flings with supermodels.
Supermodels and strippers, all who have had pre-marital sex with James will continue to die horribly. The cops are closing in on James and now he is trying to figure out who is framing him. Then Rachel (Caroline Guiterrez) appears. She is Stella's sister and believes James is the murderer. He convinces her otherwise and now the duo play sleuth. Uh oh...apparently the supermodels had more in common than just pre-marital sex with James and what that is puts Rachel and James in horrible danger. As James and Rachel start figuring things out, more than just the beautiful will die horribly.
Why do the mega-sultry die so horribly in these films? Even if he isn't the murderer, will James the misogynist get whats coming to him? Why do beautiful supermodels strip and shower whenever a homicidal lunatic shows up? This is a bloody and vicious one with so many gratuitous sex and blood scenes...which is all great, of course. For an arousal of your prurient nature, see "Murder in Miami," directed by Will Vazquez.
