Death Spa unfolds at the Starbody Health Spa, a high-tech health club whose owner recently lost his wife in a bizarre suicide that we’re made privy to via a couple of surreal dream sequences in which she sets herself on fire while in a wheelchair. Meanwhile exercise equipment and frozen fish start turning on their human overlords for reasons that aren’t explained until a stupid twist at the end which was the style at the time. Death Spa is a runaway train showered in a haze of dayglow mist and gay subtext. If you’re thinking of watching it for Halloween, just don’t pair it up with anything else. You’re gonna need time to get off that high. You can get Death Spa on a re-issued VHS and/or Blu-Ray/DVD pack from Gorgon Video. It’s a bit pricier than your average movie, but it’s also a lot better so there.



Okay that’ll be all from me for now, if you want more horror recommendations join me over at Letterboxd where I’m watching hella horror ‘cause everyone knows Falloween starts in September.
