A group of young horror fans go searching for a film that mysteriously vanished years ago but instead find that the demented killer from the movie is real, and he's thrilled to meet fans who will die gruesomely for his art.
I probably wouldn't have watched this until I heard director Dave Parker on Adam Green and Joe Lynch's Movie Crypt podcast. His stories about the making of the movie intrigued me, so I picked up a copy at FYE and gave it a shot.
The pre-credits scene alone is one of the most gruesome things I've seen in years.
The film takes a few unexpected twists and gives the characters much more development than the average slasher film.
My only real complaint is with the ending. The movie had reached a good stopping point, but pushed on. It felt like the ending used was just for shock value.
If any movie deserved a theatrical release it was this one. The writing, acting and production values are way above most direct to video movies.
