Death Spa

About This Movie

Death Spa is one of those wild little gems from the late '80s horror scene. It's set in a health club, which is pretty unique, but then it goes all out with killer saunas and some really gnarly practical effects. The atmosphere is drenched in excess and the pacing is kind of erratic, bouncing between moments of dark humor and genuine creepiness. The story revolves around Michael, who’s grappling with his wife's tragic death and the chaos that follows when his gym becomes a murder scene. The performances are a mixed bag, but they definitely add to the off-kilter vibe. It's a film that feels like it’s trying to say something about grief and guilt, wrapped in a totally bizarre package.
