“Death Spa (1989) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e*** (out of 4)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMichael (William Bumiller) runs a health club thatu0026#39;s the biggest thing in the city thanks to new technology that allows a computer system to run things. However, things take a dark turn when a couple members are severely injured and after more deaths happen it appears thereu0026#39;s something much darker at play.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you rented videos back in the 80s or 90s then Iu0026#39;m sure you stumbled across this film in the horror section at some point. I must have passed the video by countless times, picked it up a few times but I never left the store with it. After all, itu0026#39;s a horror movie set in a health club, how good could that be? Now that Iu0026#39;ve finally caught up with the picture I canu0026#39;t help but be disappointed in myself for not giving it a shot back in the day.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLook, if youu0026#39;re wanting high art or some sort of hard-hitting drama then youu0026#39;re not going to find it here. DEATH SPA is basically a low-budget slasher movie that appears to have been directed by someone who knew what the people watching a film like this wanted to see. Director Michael Fischa and writers James Bartruff and Mitch Paradise all do a wonderful job because what youu0026#39;ve basically got here are a bunch of gory murders and a bunch of hot ladies taking their clothes off. These are staples of the VHS-era and this film offers plenty of both.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI really liked the death scenes in the film as they were not only creative but we also got some extremely gory moments. There are several highlights among the death scenes but thereu0026#39;s one where a woman gets some sort of acid on her and just gets eaten away. As for the nudity, yeah, thereu0026#39;s the required shower sequence but with a twist. DEATH SPA certainly isnu0026#39;t a masterpiece and it really would have benefited by being ten-minutes shorter but at the same time this is exactly what a film should be like if it wants to be in that low-budget horror field.”
