Crown International Pictures
Directed by Norman J. Warren
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Scorpion Releasing)
The opening scene of a witch burning turns out to be the latest movie from a director screening it for his friends at his English manor. A party game of hypnotism turns into a near-killing, but then the real thing starts happening to various people involved in making the film. A killer stalks then brutally stabs nubile young actresses. Most take place in near darkness during a perpetual thunderstorm set to a dirge-like synthesizer score. However, proceedings become ludicrous when inanimate objects become involved, such as the unlucky crew member chased by a dolly and strangled by rolls of film. Somehow, though, I managed to like this underachieving little film, with its unrelenting gloomy atmosphere, stops in sleazy bars and even the floating car.
