A maniac is killing strippers and Detective Sheehan has only one weapon to stop him. Her body. Dark and violent, Stripped to Kill is a startling Los Angeles nightcrawler, a vicious neon noir empowered by writer/director Katt Shea that stars tv mainstay Kay Lenz as a cop undercover as an exotic dancer on the hunt for a ferocious killer. But the former UCLA student, model and first-time helmer strives to show these performers in a way never seen before, not just for titillation but as a tight sorority of artists overlooked and underestimated by mainstream society. Peppered with a colorful supporting cast including My Two Dads’ Greg Evigan as the partner / love interest and Three’s Company’s Norman Fell as the hardboiled club owner, Stripped to Kill demands respect as one of the crowning achievements from the Skinemax heyday of late night erotic thrillers.
