Zusammenfassung
Stripped to Kill is a 1987 erotic thriller directed by Katt Shea, one of few female filmmakers working in the genre at that time. The film is a blend of crime drama and horror, centering on Cody Sheehan, a policewoman who goes undercover as a stripper to catch a serial killer targeting dancers from the Rock Bottom club. With its unique perspective on the exploitation genre, Stripped to Kill explores themes of power dynamics, deception, and the objectification of women in both law enforcement and the sex industry.
