Two micro-budget nightmares where the scariest thing is the 'acting.'
In "The Model Killer," two models are chloroformed, tied and gagged by a photographer after refusing his offer of an "adult photo shoot." In "The Poolside Murders," two friends ridicule a salesman who then comes back and "teaches them a lesson."

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gary Whitson directed dozens of shot-on-video horror films in the 90s, mostly for the direct-to-video market that predated streaming's content flood. This was grindhouse without the grindhouse aesthetic—just raw, cheap, and fast.
Tina Krause became a minor cult figure in SOV horror, appearing in over 100 micro-budget films. 'The Model Killer' was one of her earliest roles before she developed a small but dedicated fanbase in the underground horror scene.
