Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana Moving Pictures Film Club The mock-doc crosses into This Is Spinal Tap (1984) territory with its farcical and at times surreal portrayal of the lives of the fading stars of retro-grindhouse-slasher movies who were not able to reach the classic cult status Rated: 4/5 Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots This mockumentary about a fake movie is basically the ultimate prank, and the co-directors and their subjects sell the whole thing as real -- which is totally cool, hysterically funny, and shows a true commitment to the charade.

Motte L This film is not only humorous but also deeply respectful of the horror genre, its conventions, and the legacy of a cult classic. The original cult film, with its devoted fanbase, holds such significance that the debate over who portrays the killer goes beyond a mere comedic premise—it becomes a genuine attempt to build upon the legacy of a movie that left a lasting impression on its audience.
