Very funny love letter to 80s teen slasher flicks, and still amazingly poignant. Joshua John Miller - son of actor and playwright Jason Miller, best known for The Exorcist - wrote this to deal with his feelings after his father's fatal heart attack.
Young Max (Taissa Farmiga) has been in a daze ever since her beloved mother, former scream queen Amanda, was killed in a car accident. Her friend's geeky stepbrother talks her into making an appearance at an anniversary screening of her mom's one big film. Suddenly Max and her friends are catapulted into the film. While everyone tries to escape the masked killer stalking the woods, Max is connecting with "her mom" in a way she never could before. Can Max save her this time? A real unexpected pleasure.
