Review of Popcorn

Popcorn (1991)
5/10
Unoriginal and hackneyed but with some enjoyable moments

Warning: Spoilers
A film club hosts a horror festival at their local cinema. The main character turns out to be the daughter of a film-maker and murderer and she is stalked by someone who she thinks is said killer returned to finish what he started. I liked the low-budget film look and there were some amusing moments and I really liked the films within the film. However, the characters mostly blended into one and although the setting is kind of unique, the story has been done so many times before that this film became dull and uninteresting during the last half hour when we find out who the killer is and then the day is saved by the 'hero' in a rather anti-climatic and predictable manner. While Popcorn has its moments they are few and far between.
