Naked Souls (1996)
1/10
« Naked bodies » would be a more honest title (DVD)

Indeed, it took less than 6 minutes for Pam to get nude. Then, she did it again in a bed and all along the movie, she kept wearing very revealing clothes (except when she got out of bed!).

Beyond, all the female characters get also nude: the wife of the mad scientist, the victims of the serial killers, the model for Pam's art. Well, i admit that both Pam and Seana are really stunning but all this gratuitous nudity is unfortunate (= it adds nothing to the story).

However, it's the only thing that matters here because all the rest is crap:

* Davis Warner becomes albinos (his face is painted white to underline that his character is old and don't see the daylight often!)

* I believe in ghosts, UFOs, Nessy, Bigfoot but the sharing of memories and souls by smoke is utterly stupid!

* for a short movie, you kept seeing the same sequences over and over: thus, its runtime isn't 80 minutes but rather 70 or less!

But, don't count on me to slap Pam's acting because we need all sorts of acting for all sorts of movies and emotions. I think that Pam is fine because she offers a kind, down to earth personality. Thus, we can share and care for her and it's the basic tool for any artist. Unfortunately, having been labeled the blonde sex-symbol of the 90s, she is despised at first sight and that's not a fair judgment.

In conclusion, the only memories of this movie would be those of Pam (and Seana too.)
