The premise

A group of young horror fans go searching for a film that mysteriously vanished years ago but instead find that the demented killer from the movie is real, and he's thrilled to meet fans who will die gruesomely for his art.

Horror Vault's take

When a group of horror enthusiasts set out to uncover a lost slasher film believed to be the most terrifying ever made, their obsession leads them deep into dangerous territory. What they discover goes far beyond lost footage — the masked killer at the heart of the legend may not be a character at all. Equal parts love letter and brutal critique of extreme horror fandom, The Hills Run Red delivers relentless carnage wrapped in a meta-cinematic premise. Fans of hard-edged slashers will find plenty to fear in the film-within-a-film conceit.
