The premise
Two brothers, desperate to break into the world of television and film, decide to enter a horror movie contest. And what could be more horrifying than the elusive snuff film?
Horror Vault's take
Two down-on-their-luck brothers see a horror film contest as their golden ticket to Hollywood, and settle on the most extreme concept imaginable: a genuine snuff film. What starts as a darkly comic descent into bad ideas quickly spirals into deeply uncomfortable territory as the line between filmmaking and real harm grows dangerously thin. This pitch-black satire skewers the lengths desperate creatives will go to for recognition, wrapping its critique in cringe-worthy humor and escalating dread.
