Review: Six Hot Chicks in a Warehouse

Director: Simon P. Edwards

Screenplay: Simon P. Edwards, Kate G. Smith, and Kim Dyer

Year: 2019

Synopsis: Six models are called to a photoshoot in a warehouse. This photoshoot represents the last project of a photographer before retiring, but he has other things in mind. Once in the warehouse, the models are forced to fight among them until death to fulfill the perverted wishes of the photographer.

It's rare to find a movie title that is as descriptive of the plot as this one. “Six Hot Chicks in a Warehouse” is exactly what the title suggests, six women are locked in a warehouse and forced to fight. Without trying to be more than what it suggests, it brings a good dose of everything that comes to mind when reading the title: women with little clothing, violence, and fun. 

Adrian is a professional photographer that fights with many insecurities. Trying to get over one of them, he starts using a supplement to gain muscle mass, which turns its users violent. With this knowledge, he calls a group of six models for a photoshoot, but whose real purpose is to cage them and inject them with the supplement to later make them fight to the death.

During the first half of the movie, not much happens. A good chunk of it is used to get some backstory for one of the models, Mira, interpreted by Jessica Messenger. Another portion is dedicated to see the models gather and go to the warehouse and the extensive photoshoot that takes place there with Adrian. This first half serves to give plenty of exposition to all six women, where there are myriad shots were a lot of effort is put in exposing the bodies of the models as much as possible, especially their butts and nipples poking through their clothes.

Once we get to the second half, the story takes a sinister turn. The models wake up caged and behaving violently. This is nothing but Adrian’s plan to create his perverted photographic project, which is based on capturing images of these women fighting to the death. Of course, it is important to mention that these women spend this second half with dominatrix style clothing, and a sexploitation style of filming is still favored.

As expected from this sort of movie, the idea is to have fun and not focus so much on the technical or artistic part. The plot is simple, the acting is good enough for it not to be a distraction, and there is not much to expect from the fight or gore scenes, more in a sexploitation tone than an action movie. The music in its majority is by a rock band with a female lead, which complements well the visual, but with a clear mismatch in volume with the dialogues.

“Six Hot Chicks in a Warehouse” is not a movie to take too seriously with what it puts in its plot. The story of writer/director Simon P. Edwards (“Beneath a Neon Tide”) accompanied in the script by Kate G. Smith and Kim Dyer (“Beneath a Neon Tide”) flows well but is simplistic with the sole purpose of being a fun sexploitation movie. This is not my favorite type of movie, but for fans of this subgenre, this is a movie that you should not miss.

“Six Hot Chicks in a Warehouse” is distributed by Indican Pictures and will be available on DVD and video-on-demand on September 3, 2019, in the United States.
