Party Line, Erotic and Kinky Slasher Fare

Shawn Weatherly was Miss USA and then Miss Universe when those pageants selected beautiful young women who were stunning, likable, and inspiring.  Today, the major pageants are unwatchable.  The selections are sometimes women, always plastic and fake, and very unlikable.  The winners are forced to spout woke social justice nonsense and their plastic surgeries are flaunted.  Ms. Weatherly launched into a movie and TV career that featured some horror movies, none as kinky as the 1988 erotic slasher film "Party Line," directed by William Webb. 

The weird Seth (Leif Garrett) and his sultry sister Angelina (Great Blackburn) are way too close as siblings.  Taboo is a good word for their relationship.  The two troll party lines (those old 976 numbers) and arrange meetings with potential sex partners.  Angelina lures married men to her bed and Seth enters after the climaxing and slits the throats of these poor saps.  Detective Dan (Richard Hatch) is on the case.  So is assistant prosecutor Stacy (Weatherly).  They initially hate one another.  Bodies keep showing up, naked and with their throats cut.  The two investigators need to catch a break.

We get a look into Seth's and Angelina's past...and it is twisted.  Seth's inappropriate attraction for his sister plays out.  As for Angelina, we get a lot of gratuitous aerobic, bikini, nude, and sex scenes with her.  Now Dan and Stacy get a break...they think.  Uh oh, Seth is a step ahead of them.  Stacy will get all dolled up in a very alluring red satin party gown and head to a club to catch a killer.  Poor Stacy, Seth is waiting for her and sets a trap.  Dan has made the case personal as a pretty policewoman has been murdered by Seth.  Now Stacy, looking better than anyone has a right to, is strutting into mortal danger.

Kinky and deviant, this 1980s horror film may have been missed by many.  Will Seth abduct Stacy, and for what purpose?  How will a very jealous Angelina treat Stacy when she is brought home looking better than her?  Will there be any pre-marital sex between Dan and Stacy?  This is a good one with a maximum cheese and beef factor.  For an alluring slasher film, see "Party Line."
