Fun picture plenty of killings , thrills , chills , amusement , ironical touches , and usual Zombies . Bárbara (Macarena Gómez) is a co-ed of a prestigious medicine university . She is a femme fatale fashionista at a trendy design school who embarks on a brutal and bloody killing spree . Meanwhile , Tomás (César Camíno) and Alex (Alejo Sauras) are experimenting about broadcasting vital images , these experiments lead to unexpected consequences .Lots of gags and sketches , some of them funny but movie lacks a real freshness . Spoof movie with a myriad of silly and unimaginative gags , though it has its good moments here and there . And blending audio-visual narrative , as television style as advertisement spots ; in addition , comic-books esthetic and Split-screen (similarly to ¨Hulk¨ , 2003, by Ang Lee) . ¨Sexy Killer¨ is more a nutty comedy than a terror movie . This is a hilarious parody/crime , surrealist , extreme spoof and gross out but is also intelligent and bold . As always , the cinematographic references are numerous and provide silly laughs from start to finish , the amusement is guess what films result to be , as there are several cinematic remarks from famous movies , such as : ¨Carrie¨(at the prologue) , ¨13th Friday¨ , ¨Taxi Driver¨ , ¨Crocodrile Dundee¨ , ¨Dead Evil¨ , ¨From dusk to dawn¨, ¨Scream¨, and including the gore-feast-surgery of ¨Reanimator¨ and splatter of ¨Braindead¨.Fun acting by Macarena Gómez as a feisty and lethal psycho-killer fashion victim, while gleefully evading the hapless cops assigned to the murder cases . Sexykiller character is a crossover of a fashion young Hannibal Lecter and Patrick Bateman including the Paris Hilton wardrobe style. She is supported by known TV actors as Alejo Sauras , César Camino , Ramón Langa and the veteran , recently deceased Angel Andrés López who played along with Macarena Gómez in ¨Platillos Volantes¨. Besides , Javier Botet who played the girl Medeiros in ¨Rec¨saga by Jaime Balagueró and Paco Plaza . Appropriate and colorful cinematography by Carlos Gusi who has photographed hits as ¨Torrente¨, ¨Box 507¨ , ¨Cell 211¨ , ¨Take my eyes¨ , and ¨El Niño¨ . Gusi photographs splendidly the wonderful exteriors from Comillas , Cantabria where ¨Sexykilller¨ was colorfully shot . Moving musical score by Fernando Velazquez who previously composed for successful terror/thriller films as ¨The orphanage¨ , ¨For the good of others¨ , ¨Julia's eyes¨ and ¨Devil¨ . .Amusing and surprising screenplay by Pablo Cabezas . Paco is a good screen-writer such as ¨Bon Appetit¨ (2010) , ¨Spanish movie¨(2009) , ¨Sexy killer¨(2008) and a notorious filmmaker , especially known for Carne Neón (2010), and his first feature length project : ¨Aparecidos¨ (2007) , being subsequently hired by Hollywood/Nicolas Cage , where directed Tokarev (2014) . Furthermore , ¨Men with No Fear¨ and ¨Mr. Right¨ with big Hollywood name stars . This motion picture titled ¨Sexykiller¨(firstly titled Barbykiller) was professionally directed by Miguel Martí , an expert on crazy comedies , as he proved in ¨Slam¨ and ¨Fin De Curso¨ . ¨SexyKiller¨ had world premiere in 2008 Toronto Film Festival and in the Official Section in Sitges Festival . However , some reviewers panned it , describing it as a cheap pastiche .

The opening scene in this film gives a pretty good indication of the philosophy of the film-makers. In it we have a group of hot semi-naked young women in a changing room, while an ominous character in a Scream mask looks on from a secret location; it ends with the tables being turned and the intruder being killed by one of the cute girls. The reason that this scene indicates what this film is all about is that it ridicules clichés of the horror genre while simultaneously celebrating them. This Spanish horror-comedy is a film that resolutely does not take itself seriously. It feels a bit like Pieces (1982) meets Re-Animator (1984) with a female serial killer. The story revolves around a series of university campus killings carried out by a medical student called Bárbara. But that's only half the story as it also includes a development later in the story where a new serum is introduced that has the ability of bringing back the dead, meaning that all the killers victims return as flesh-eating zombies. So, it would be fair to say that this one certainly tries to cover its horror bases that's for sure.The lead is Macarena Gómez who gives a good performance here. The role is one that offers a fair bit of fun with the character frequently breaking the fourth wall to tell us her story. The jokes are sometimes very good too, my favourite one being the fact that some male zombies can only be dispatched by shooting them in the penis rather than the traditional target of the head on account of the fact that 'some men only think with their dicks!' The combination of a slasher movie with a zombie flick is one that is of course completely absurd but it essentially works here in a film that is wilfully ridiculous from the outset. It's a fast-paced and amusing movie which at least tries to come up with something new, even if it does just mash genres up in order to do this. Definitely an entertaining film though and one which seems to have gone under the radar somewhat which doesn't seem right and, ultimately, you can't go too wrong with a premise involving a hot girl serial killer.

Having overheard him talking about cutting up bodies, sexy serial killer Bárbara (Macarena Gómez) gets the hots for pathologist Álex (Alejo Sauras), believing him to be a kindred spirit. Álex, blissfully unaware of the lovely lady's true nature, is more than happy for the attention, but his life gets a whole lot more complicated after he tests his experimental brain impulse decoder on Bárbara's victims in an attempt to discover the killer's identity: the machine has the unfortunate side-effect of bringing the dead back to life as ravenous zombies!Sexykiller, from Spanish director Miguel Martí, definitely doesn't have any lofty pretencions: it simply wants to be a whole load of schlocky fun for the midnight movie crowd—and in that it mostly succeeds. From opening immediately with a changing room scene full of hot Latino girls in various states of undress, to breaking the fourth wall by having sexy psycho Bárbara talk to the viewer, to impromptu song and dance routines, to the sudden switch from serial killer flick to zombie movie, to the copious amounts of gore, there is plenty here to lend the film cult appeal. Director Marti does seem to be trying just a little too hard to please at times, some of the morbid humour and absurdist elements feeling a bit strained, so the film is probably best watched with a few cervezas in the belly, when it's easy to be more lenient about such things.

i loved dis film! it's definitely not something u'd expect from first 20-30 min....a slasher comedy? not totally....u'll have to watch to find out...but definitely fast paced and kept me watching...i'ts just ridiculously funny and goofy...great special effects...this would b a great Halloween film too...the sexy killer is funny and cold...all the other actors were just as great...it's a comedy, so who cares about the acting...the script works great.u just gotta keep reading the subs quick because they do talk fast...but watching this, not 1 second was boring...the deaths are pretty well paced...and i wont spoil the ending of the film by going into it...but way better than Hollywood flicks! original!
