High Heel Homicide

2017 · 81 min

A lurid, softcore-tinged thriller that pairs grisly serial-killer clues with steamy detours, feeling cheap, tense and oddly watchable.

Tagline
Anyone can commit murder.
Overview
As a string of brutal murders plague the city, two undercover detectives race to solve the mystery and unmask the killer. Their only clues: each victim is a former cop and each has a blood-red letter painted on their body. How many will have to die before the killer spells out their message in blood?
