Horror star Malicia Tombs (Linnea Quigley) mysteriously dies after leaving the set of her latest, now unfinished, low budget shot-on-video shocker. Soon, an unseen masked killer is chopping and hacking his/ her way through the cast and crew as punishment for Tomb's death.
Let's get meta. This super obscurity was shot in 1998 by indy horror stalwart Brad Sykes, and finally finished in 2002. Just like how Linnea's character was in a lost movie, this itself was a lost film for some time but now it's been released by Visual Vengeance.
After she left the set of director Eric Orloff's (Jarrod Robbins, Evil Sister 2) Scream Queen, Malicia died in a car accident. As Detective Hammer (C. Courtney Joyner, the writer of From a Whisper to a Scream, Class of 1999 and Prison as well as the director of Trancers III) can't find out who killed her, the entire movie just goes away, taking down several careers.
Or so it would seem, as Orloff and the cast and crew - special effects guy Squib (Bryan Cooper, who also worked on this movie's effects), Christine (Nicole West), Runyon (Kurt Levee, Evil Sister), Jenni (Emilie Jo Tisdale, Escape from Hell) and Devon (Nova Sheppard) - are invited to a mansion by Malicia, who is not only alive but able to pay everyone as long as they don't leave the set.
Is she a ghost? A demon? Or did she fake her death and is trying to find out who was trying to kill her with the bomb in her car? And who is the masked killer taking out everyone? And hey - how about Linnea singing "This Chainsaw's Made For Cutting" in this movie?
The first movie by Brad Sykes (Plaguers, Hi-Death) and it may be shot on video, but you can already see the promise of his work.
