Dance with Death

A string of murders at a local strip joint gives a reporter the chance to do an undercover investigation. She gets a job as a stripper at the establishment, where she befriends some of the other women, who know more about what is happening than they have publicly admitted. As she gets closer to the truth, her life is put in jeopardy.

Directed by Charles Philip Moore, Dance with Death leans on a strong ensemble — Maxwell Caulfield, Barbara Alyn Woods, Martin Mull — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1992.
