6/10
Unremarkable Sex Comedy/Mystery
5 August 2019
Trashy thriller about a young man who has an affair with his teacher (the incredibly sexy Sybil Danning) who persuades him to do some of the stupidest things of all time which ends up getting him into serious trouble and in the line of fire for a crazed killer.

They're Playing With Fire seems like a movie where someone lost a bet or got drunk and/or high and came up with the plot in the span of two hours. It's like what would happen if someone pitched that Private Lessons, Body Heat, Friday the 13th, and Risky Business belong in a mash up together. Some elements work better than others - the trashy sex scenes are appropriately erotic and fans of Sybil's Dannings will find a lot to enjoy during those bits and some of the mystery plot threads can entertain a bit.

It's not a hate-able movie, but it's not very memorable either.
