Looking for a wholly unsatisfying movie that tries to be funny and scary and fails at both? With an over-elaborate plot, a confusing ending, and lots of terrible eighties music? With a trailer that rips off the trailer for "Susperia"? With George Clooney getting gutted like a fish? If you said "Yes", then this is the movie for you- and you should be committed.
The film jumps awkwardly back and forth in time to tell the tale of a low-budget film being shot at a high school where a series of unsolved murders went on. We don't see much of the murders, but there's lots of unfunny comedy bits featuring Maureen McCormick, the immensely unappealing Alex Rocco, an exploding falsie, and a filthy janitor ("I'm gonna be in those pussy films!" he says). About an hour into the movie there are some surprising shocks and plot twists which really helped the movie- and then they are revealed to be part of a dream and the movie resumes it's strict policy of not having interesting things happen.
Watch for a scene where part of the set breaks and the lead actress stifles a laugh.
