A plot that interested me with much potential, that failed so drastically with absolutely terrible dialogue and acting, with the exception of Mr. Englund, as his creep of a character really is the only reason to watch this film.

Allie, and her boyfriend Martin, go to see a midnight showing of The Hills Have Eyes 2 and find they're the only ones in the cinema screen. Stuart, is an old school projectionist, who has since been relegated to concessions, following the advent of digital projection. He slips drugs into Allie's lemonade, before her and Martin go into the movie. From there, Stuart proceeds to make his own movie, even though Allie and Martin, are less than willing to star.....For a low budget horror movie, it's surprisingly well made, and for once Englund isn't really hamming it up like he does in non Freddy horror movies. His Stuart is very mild mannered, almost Ned Flanders mild mannered, but you can understand why he is disgruntled in this digital world, his fellow colleagues and employer offer no respect, so why not take revenge by making your own movie.By the time the second act begins, you can understand why the budget was so low, it's filmed in a Vue Cinema somewhere in Chester I believe, and I think the staff just locked the doors and let them get on with it.It can get pretty tense in places, the stand off between Martin and the cinema manager is a highlight, but then it turns from a light horror film to 'Die Hard in a cinema', something that I thought would never be made.And the ending is something that I wouldn't have expected the makers or the writers to, so kudos to them for coming up with something original, rather than going down the safe path, even though you subliminally promise a sequel.But sadly, Berrington spends the majority of the film unconscious, Martin looks too much like Harry Styles from One Direction to convince as the hero, and Keith Allen pops up at the end looking for his career.It references old school horror, and there is a slight message of Old School cinema is the best, but its worth watching, even though it can get a little formulaic.

Horrible acting, horrible plot, horrible cast, horrible sound, horrible dialogue, horrible everything. This is easily one of the worst movies I've watched in a long time. There wasn't even any boobs! I really wish I had not watched this movie. The plot was predictable. The acting was horrendous. The gunshots sounded like a cap gun. The main characters must have had part of their brain removed.The movie tried really hard to be clever, and if there was a twist I must have missed it. The other reviewers for this movie are either paid or they didn't see the same movie that I did. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

I was hesitant to watch this, but after reading a member review and seeing original storyline, I gave it a shot. Not only original, not only great, spot on acting, from the moment it starts, your hooked, lets see how the film plays out. I wouldn't classify it as a b film, but have no doubt it will amass a cult following. Watch the film with no expectations, watch it for a thriller/ quasi horror film..promise, you won't regret it.so I need to make this review 10 lines, old timers who remember Nightmare on Elm Street, Robert Englund is AWESOME...Still was waiting to hear the blades scratching..this is not a remake (lame), not some t&a film..am I at 10 lines yet?Props to Phil Hawkins, writer/ Director.. will be keeping an eye out for more.. Cheers.
