3.0 out of 5 stars
Low budget, silly, but fun..., December 31, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Slaughter Studios (DVD)
My expectations weren't too high for this film, and perhaps that's why I enjoyed it. "Citizen Kane", "The Searchers", "Lawrence of Arabia", the list of films that this movie doesn't even come close to goes on and on. But taken for what it is, it's got some laughs and scares. The acting is a collection of good and bad. Amy Shelton-White as the put-upon girlfriend is quite good and I wish there was more of her. The same goes for Tara Killian as the spoiled actress "Portia". I could have used much less of Lorissa MacComas. Actually, SHE could use less of herself. As the last film made at Roger Corman's Venice Beach studio, this will earn a place in film history books, so it's a shame it's not better. Oh well. If you like nudity and slasher-type murders, this is a film for you. I'm giving it three stars on a decidedly different scale than I use for the films mentioned at the start of this review. :-) And by the way, the director's commentary is all "me me me me me." It's not very informative or interesting.

Hey, Let's Make a Movie in a Haunted Studio!, January 18, 2007
This review is from: Slaughter Studios (DVD)
Slaughter Studios was home to some of the best cheesy movies around. But it all came to an end when an actor was killed on the set when blanks were replaced by real bullets. Vacant for many years, a horror fan has created a plan to break into the studio and film a movie in one night. He has the guard's schedule mapped out, located power, and recruited a cast. They are all set to make the film.
But once inside the studio things begin to go wrong. The far-from-professional actors take too long to do their scenes, they don't do as they are told, and they start wandering away. This is a horror film so you know the inevitable happens. As each person finds themselves alone they become a target to a killer. Who is the killer? Is it one of them? Is it the ghost of the dead actor? You will have to watch the film to find out.
This one is pretty good for what it is. Our main character, the director wannabe, seems patterned after Dom Deluise for looks and flamboyance. One of the girls cast in the film is obsessed with the dead actor. The plot is almost cute until the horror starts. While essentially a slasher film it is low on the blood and gore (but not non-existent) which is a nice change. The film makers look to have had a lot of fun making this one and it rubs off on the viewer. Check it out.
