Effects (1979)

Effects: Directed by Dusty Nelson. With Joseph Pilato, Susan Chapek, John Harrison, Bernard McKenna. While a small film crew are shooting a low budget horror movie in a house in the woods, the lines between reality and fiction start to blur, and the movie slowly starts to turn into a “snuff” film.

“I am sure for some folks this movie is the catu0026#39;s meow because of the cast and crew, but unfortunately, itu0026#39;s pretty boring. Itu0026#39;s not a horror movie (although they are making one in the film) and itu0026#39;s certainly not a thriller because there is little to no suspense. Itu0026#39;s the late 70s and theyu0026#39;re doing coke in a farm house while making a movie. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe concept is interesting (whatu0026#39;s the difference between making a movie where it looks like the people are getting killed and a movie where the people are being murdered on screen?), but it gets dulled down watching them do coke and putzing around in general. Itu0026#39;s kind of like some pre-cursor to a bizarre reality television concept. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eeh. kind of a waste.”
