There ia absolutely nothing like this movie!!! Yes it is a bit corny, but it is very funny and has an excellent plot. (How many movies do you remembre where a jealous, deceased ex wife comes back to haunt and torment any AND everybody at a health spa, through a computer system no less?) If you are into 1980's horror with laughs and a little bit of nudity, then check this one out. Otherwise, this isn't for you.

Just look at the title...LOOK AT IT!!! You know this isn't really a horror movie. And when the movie opens with a sign for the "Starbody Health Spa" shorting out so that the only letters lighting up spell "______d_ _ea_th Spa", you know you're in for a comedic treat. Featuring the man who's chest spurts forth cherry kool-aid, the incredible melting woman, the hand eating blender, the ever amazing disappearing/reappearing hand trick, and a wonderful cameo by the overhead microphone. This movie never ceases in the laughter department (unfortunately, I don't think they intended it that way) And don't believe all the hype about the gore, which is very humorous (but alas, not good) nor the sex (Nudity is not sex!)...the only real star of this movie is the attack of the frozen fish! The greatest part of the entire movie. Pure hillarity! Here's our little canundrum...how does a ghost that takes control of the main computer at a spa (which can I guess concievably control an exercise machine and a blender) assume control of a frozen fish and have it attack the throat of a man? Don't over-analyze this...just watch it and laugh. The funniest, non-humorous movie of all time. Grab your popcorn and enjoy. VIVA LA DEATH SPA FISH!!!!

If you've seen the cover of the movie and you still need to know more about it before seeing it, it's not for you.

This exemplary horror movie, about the dead wife of a health-spa owner who makes things unbearable for him and his clients, was not rated -- but it should have been R for gore and nudity. A FABULOUS film... lots of horror/gore and scares. Don't miss it.

Not as much gore as advertised but still a decent movie. It moves kind of slow but the story and what gore there was was great. I mostly give credit to the fact that this movie was made in the eighties and was based on the fact that a computer system ran a health spa. Not many movies revolved around computers at that time so you have to give Death Spa it's props because if it wasn't a great movie, it was at least ahead of it's time!

This movie has improved the quality of life in my household, and has set the bar higher for the standard in horror films. This movie has moved me in a way that a true love only could. I've given this move 5 stars because of it's incredible acting, direction, and script, I was on the edge of my seat with excitement the whole time, a must own for every house in America

I didn't think it possible for a movie to be made this well. The cinematography and editing are amazing. And talk about realistic... WOW! Not only the best horror movie of all time, but the best movie of all time. The only downside is that it's so well done that no other movie can compare. Sadly, I will never enjoy another movie as much as this one.

This is movie is meant to be viewed only by those who are smart enough to realize that the director was not striving for a masterpiece. He was simply trying to create an outrageous "exploitation" film in every sense of the word, and succeeded. So if your a wimp who can't handle a little gore and sex, stick with the Disney flicks.

DEATH SPA is one of those timeless lame silly early 80s , kinda slasher films. I love this and anyone into the genra will as well. Its about well...hmm...the plot is so silly i dont want to spoil it for you its a great fun silly 80s flick complete with the bad music the horrid 80s fashion horrible acting bogus efects and a polt that only lovers of "Sleepover camp" will like,"there a hint.
If you like fun silly cheesy and 80s this is for you its fun to watch as a collector of weird 80s horror on vhs it is right up there with Fatal Games as one of my favs.

I just wanted a quick gore fix, but DAMN this is dumb
