Midnight Tease (1994) User Reviews

Lacklustre Lisa Boyle vehicle

[Red-Barracuda · 4/10 · 31 May 2011]

Some strippers are being killed off by an unknown assassin. One of the girls fears it may be her as she suffers blackouts on the nights of the murders. She also suffers from disturbing dreams in which she murders her dad.

This is a Lisa Boyle vehicle. So to be perfectly honest that is the only reason to see it. Although it has to be said, that it's not really enough of a reason in this case. While this is an erotic thriller, it's really neither very erotic nor thrilling. The sexy stuff mainly consists of girls stripping at the night club but none of the routines are especially memorable, while the thrills are meant to come from the serial killer angle but that material is seriously underwhelming. So the film ultimately boils down to a number of strip scenes linked together by a lame murder-mystery plot-line.

There are occasional effective moments such as the part where Lisa Boyle dresses up in school gear and strips while we see a flash-back to her younger self with her father. It's wrong on at least a couple of levels, but it's at least interesting; which is more than can be said of the film in general. If you want a good Lisa Boyle flick you can't go wrong with I Like To Play Games, this one on the other hand isn't too inspired.

Going Backwards

[refinedsugar · 3/10 · 29 August 2023]

There's some kind of weirdness going down when the sequel to a T&A flick is much better than the original. Yes, that's really the case here. 'Midnight Tease 2' triumphs this in every regard. Vintage fav Playboy model Lisa Boyle is on hand (credited as Cassandra Leigh) but she alone can't save it.

It's once again strippers being murdered whodunit with shades of red herrings that fellow stripper Samantha (Boyle) could somehow be responsible. Of course her psychiatrist (who she's sleeping with) believes she's innocent. I could tell you the story is boring and the acting is stiff, but who rightfully cares. We don't tune into material like this for complex plots or good characters.

However I've never had such a hard time getting into a T&A flick before. The tone feels like a tv movie at times and when gratuitous female nudity doesn't score a flick like this some points there's a problem. I don't even think it's a real strip club. It looks and feels like a cheap set. Do yourself a favor and skip this and head straight for '2'.

Dance

[BandSAboutMovies · 3/10 · 9 October 2023]

Samantha (Cassandra Leigh AKA Lisa Boyle) is an exotic dancer at Club Fugazi and her fantasy life is even wilder, as she dreams that she's at the center of fetish-heavy sex scenes with murder always moments away. But as for her real-life dancing, it's the kind of performance art pretty dance that's more burlesque than bump and grind, finding her dressed as a schoolgirl complete with lollipop or part of a BDSM wedding number. No strip club you will ever go to will have outfits and routines at this level, unless Zanzibar from Flashdance was real. It's not, I'm from Pittsburgh.

After she starts going to therapy with Dr. Saul (Justin Carroll), Samantha learns that her dreams are her working out the incest she survived from her father and the guilt that is still harming her as she watched him kill himself. As for the girls getting killed in the dream and then dying in real life, well now you're in a giallo. Or an erotic thriller. Or a stripper in peril film.

The other girls in this include Stephanie Champlin (Witchcraft VI, Ice Cream Man) as Tiffany, Rachel Reed as Amy, Ashlie Rhey (Ring of Fire II: Blood and Steel, Hell's Bells) as Mantra, Melissa Dutton (Forbidden Hearts) as Satchi, Nicole Grey (Joe D'Amato's Il diavolo nella carne) as Dusty and Lisa Collins as Whiplash. The music is, as you would expect, perfectly 90s adult club music and the repetition will destroy you.

Director Scott P. Levy also made the TV remake of Piranha, as well as House of the Damned and The Alien Within. Writer Daniella Purcell also wrote the remake of The Wasp Woman and Burial of the Rats.

While not the greatest erotic thrill of the 90s - or even 1994 - the sequel was directed and written by Richard Styles, who made Sorcereress II. It has Kimberly Kelly, Tane McClure, Griffin Drew, Kim Kopf, Antonia Dorian and the reason why I'll watch it, Julie K. Smith.

Naked breasts in T-minus five seconds – 4,3,2

[Dr. Gore · 17 April 2005]

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*

"Midnight Tease" just might be the greatest stripper movie of all time. Before your brain is even aware that you've started the movie, there will be naked breasts dancing in front of your eyes. "Midnight Tease" does not waste time. Oh, you say you wanted a stripper movie? Bingo. You got it.

Cassandra Leigh, (Lisa Boyle), might also be the greatest stripper of all time. "Midnight Tease" shows off her unmatched stripping power. I can't decide which stripping scene I liked better. Was it the little girl outfit stripping scene, (complete with over-sized lollipop), or the bride and groom dominatrix scene? Decisions, decisions...

"Midnight Tease" is about strippers stripping. There's some story about insanity, nightmares, abuse and murdered strippers but its all just filler until the next naked stripper. Each girl gets to have a three to five minute stripping scene complete with costume and theme music. Wait till you hear the song blasting over the cop stripping scene. "Say hello to Officer Pretty…From the Precinct of Lust!" This party is on.

AFTER SEEING THIS DELICIOUS WATERMELON, I AM A NEW MAN, IMMORTAL UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

[Bronco22 · 6/10 · 16 November 1998]

There's nothing like a good old fashion stripper movie to make me feel happy when I am sad. After watching this wet walnut, I have no doubt that I am immortal and that I will never have to sleep again. And, since seeing this crackling rose, I have taken control of my life and kicked out all of the trolls and dwarfs that where living in the walls of my house on to the street. I am a new man with a new identiy. A man that will stand up for justice and the weak. I hope everyone else that saw this movie will feel the same. -**1/2 stars
