I’m not very good with words and similar crap, so I often
have hard time convincing someone to watch a movie I liked. For example, I used
to tell everyone how The Signal is an absolute masterpiece, but no one took me
seriously. Or Intouchables – “Hey, you really really REALLY have to see
Intouchables, it’s a great French movie about a rich quadriplegic and a poor
black guy who works for him as a caretaker...” to which the person I’m talking
to reacts either with eyes rolling or a facepalm.
However, with Naked Fear it’s a sitter. Lend me your ears! I
mean - eyes! OK, this movie contains a scene in which the lead actress is
continuously naked for more than twenty minutes and after that pretty much
bottomless for another ten (!) I guess that does the job unless you’re gay or
female, but even then you should be able to appreciate the beauty of a naked
human female form. My Bloody Valentine 3D and Lifeforce combined do not even
come close to Naked Fear in this department! In fact, to my best knowledge (and
if I’m wrong, by all means do not hesitate a second to inform me!), this might
be the longest nude scene in film history.
In other news, this comes from Thom Eberhardt, who made some
really cool movies in the eighties. The direction is good and the movie does
contain some suspense – for example, when the naked heroine is running away
from the bastard that’s chasing her, you’re rooting for her not to get killed, but
you’re also hoping she won’t find any clothes for as long as possible.
Seriously though, even without the infamous nude scene, this would have been a
perfectly acceptable B-thriller. And WITH the infamous nude scene, there’s
absolutely no excuse for not seeing it.
