Latex Movie Review - Subterano

Conrad ( Alex Dimitriades ) is a terrorist on his way to be executed for the assassination of a dictator when he manages to hijack the armored truck he is being transported in. It is never actually explained how far in the future this takes place or which country has fallen into a dictatorship. But then again the writer of this movie doesn't even bother to give his characters last names. Conrad contacts his old girlfriend Stone ( Tasma Walton ) and asks her to help him escape from the city, which for some reason involves her driving him to the bottom of an underground garage. Once again this is not properly explained, but it is later implied that Conrad knew that through the garage's lowest level there is access to a sewer that runs out of the city and into the mountains where a mythical training camp for revolutionaries exists. Once inside the doors to the garage shut trapping them inside, along with the buildings security guard, an alcoholic who just got fired from his job at a toy company and four teenagers who had broken into the garage to play a game called Subterano. Subterano is suppose to be a virtual video game where the players enter an underground garage and have to travel down it's many levels till they get to the lowest level, each floor fighting remote controlled killer machines, until they confront and defeated the games boss. I assume normal games of Subterano are more like laser tag with the players getting a flashing light to let them know they were hit or killed. However, someone has altered the game so that the players are killed for real.

Not much more to explain about the plot for Subterano. While the idea of being trapped inside a video game had promise, the films micro budget meant this movie never lived up to it's potential, but instead came off as a really cheap version of The Cube. The movie itself was based on a series of short stories printed in True Comics, although I suppose that producer Richard Becker chose this as his source material because the setting of a parking garage could be shot on the cheap. While the movie takes place in a futuristic city, none of it is shown aside from the inside of an arcade. Instead the exteriors were shot on normal urban streets during the night, giving no hint that this was taking place in the future. Even Conrad's hijacking of his armored transport is never filmed. Instead the movie cuts immediately to the aftermath. What the producers did spend money on was the special effect of the killer toys turning into small metal balls and rolling away after being defeated. The end result is one of those cheep science fiction movies you would expect to see on SyFy

THE SCENE:
Once again this is another movie that has a reputation of having far more latex fashion that actually exists on screen. The teenagers wear clothes that involve shiny fabrics. One character named Monkey ( Veronica Segura ) wears a pink and purple costume that involves shiny purple leggings and what appears to be a micro clear plastic tutu skirt, but considering the budget was probably just plastic wrap. As one of the first victims Monkey is hardly in the movie. Her friend Angie ( Kate Sherman ) is in the movie a lot longer and wears a shiny green sundress which on closer inspection is lemé. The teens first show up 8 minutes into the movie, but you do not get a good look at their outfits until they re-appear at 21 minutes into the film. There is some latex, and it is a stunner. For the majority of the movie Tasma Walton wears a leather coat with some sort of mesh material underneath. At 1 hour 13 minutes she has rid herself of the coat and attempting to distract the killer controlling the game rips the mesh off to reveal a blue latex tank top which perfectly moulds around her breasts. You see her in the top again at 1 hour 26 minutes and again at 1 hour 30 minutes.
