“Star 80” is far from genre material, though the true story it’s based on is the stuff of demented horror. Instead, it’s a terrifying and genre-less descent into the red mist of misogyny.

Star 80 movie review & film summary (1983)
On Aug. 14, 1980, Dorothy went back to the shabby little North Hollywood bungalow they had rented together, and Paul murdered her. “Star 80” begins with the murder. Everything else is in flashback, and, therefore, the film has no really happy scenes. Dorothy’s triumphs are all stained with our knowledge of what will happen.
