Arriving at a secluded house, a desperate filmmaker tries to blow through the filming of his low-budget movie as quickly as possible only for the pressures of filmmaking to finally cause him and the rest of the crew to snap their sanity and place them all in mortal danger.
For the most part, there wasn't a whole lot to like with this one. One of the few memorable moments here is the fact that the film goes for a rather intriguing and modern take on the film-shoot-gone-wrong meta-horror film. Featuring the actress who's completely out of her element being on her first professional job against the others who have done it before and trained for it allows for a rather chilling time here when things start to go wrong as the idea of them not believing her due to the inexperience of shooting a movie is a far more realistic explanation for doing so. Instead of just laughing off the claims about someone killing the cast, their take of her not knowing the intricacies of filmmaking carries a fair amount of weight which is quite interesting to play out here. This adds a nice sense of tension and genuine thrills to the stalking scenes that transpire here as the killer coming along and doing it all for the sake of the film, turning victims around to face the cameras better or get the blood spray to face them. However, that's all that works here as the film has plenty of problems. Among the more troubling issues is the fact that this setup here doesn't generate any kind of likable qualities that forms the basis for the supposed comedy here. Instead, this is treated more like a quirky group of individuals who are simply well-worn tropes that have nothing all that much done differently with them. The fact that is supposed to be funny because the concept of these people running around the house who are aware of what's going on and mentioning the hip modern lingo during these conversations is nowhere close to generating a laugh. The actual film they're making doesn't raise suspicions based on the genuinely interesting proposition that they're simply doing the same thing over and over again without anyone mentioning or reacting to that valid point. On top of that, the film's other problem is that it simply makes no sense for the vast majority of its actions. The central concept for the film makes so little sense that it's hard to take seriously. With a finale that makes no sense at all and no motivation for anything that happens here, there's a lot of flaws here.
