Sweet Sixteen (1983)
6/10
Nice lil murder mystery which got sidelined due to the ft13s n the various slashers released during that time. Cool poster.

I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs.

Revisited it recently.

The film is about a 16 year old girl played by a 20 year old Aleisa Shirley (whose career consists of only 2 films, in her 3rd film she jus played the role of a hooker n God knows for how many mins, she also did 6 tv serials).

This girl wears braless dresses n tries to strike conversation with a grown up man, goes out to date with any boy she comes across.

The real deal is which ever boy she plans to go for a date, turns up dead.

The town's two racist bigots suspects that the murder is done by an old red Indian n they go out to seek revenge when the brother of one of em turns up dead. The town has a sheriff played by Bo Hopkins who tries to solve the murder mystery.

The skinny dipping scene is a reminiscent of ft13 but is shot well. The film has lovely settings of a quiet town, good atmosphere n a twist in the end.
