Surely a uniqe movie. Iv'e seen a good amount of movies and this one is hard to compare to anything I've seen. I would give it 3. 5 stars but thats not an option.

If you enjoy horror films from Canada or films that take shots at the Hollywood industry, you'll find plenty to like here!

Entertaining mid budget horror thriller with a fun storyline following the author of horror screenplays. A few very ****** scenes and fun, even giggly kills. Comes with trailer and nifty artwork on reversible sleeve.

Synopsis: Steven Lessey is at the top of his game with best selling novels and top grossing movies that he wrote the screenplay for. There is always more though and he is trying to write something new and less formulaic than his previous gross out novels/movies but he is pressured to stick with what works and this is giving him writer's block. His wife no longer loves him and his kids are neglected by him but the only thing that matters to Steven is his DEADLINE despite his world collapsing around him.

Review: Clever family drama with scenes of extreme ultra-violence spliced in to add some flavor. What is sad is that the family drama becomes much more disturbing than scenes added to shock and appall us. Great social commentary on how horror is and was portrayed in the media and the effects it can have on the youth, even if it is greatly exaggerated. Stephen Young gives a fantastic performance as someone who is so enamored with the limelight and meeting his deadline that he fails to see what shambles the rest of those around him are living in. The graphic scenes of violence are done extremely well with a hint of humor and sarcasm to them.

Carnage Count 3/5

Sleaze Score 3/5

This is a unique horror movie, more of a character study. Recommended for deep thinkers.
