Also watched Spaced out and Playbirds a couple of softcore low budgeters that i'd never seen before.

Spaced Out is a Norman J Warren film i'd never seen as I was only familiar with his Horror output, It's not a good film by any standards but a few things stood out, ahem, nothing to do with the acting obviously.
A passable time waster if you are in the mood.

Playbirds on the other hand was an eye opener, yes it's a sleazy low budget rush job, but i found it surprisingly downbeat with a killer murdering models who pose for a men's magazine.

A kind of remake of Covergirl killer, and based around the real life mag Playbirds published by the producer (an odd bit of publicity), it features Mary Millington as a policewoman.

The thing that surprised me was that the stalking and strangling scenes are straight out of a horror film and the photo shoot set pieces include a devil worship type scene and a woman being burnt on a cross, whereas I was just expecting the usual T&A.

Also some really bad non PC dialogue, such as the jaw dropping moment when the killer burst in on a woman in bed and she exclaims
" Oh, I've never been raped before!!!" with a cheerful smile.

You what???
