One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Slaughter Studios has a legendary reputation as the place where a slew of classic low-budget horror movies were made. Long since abandoned and now in ruins, a group of aspiring filmmakers led by overzealous writer/director Steve (robustly played with lip-smacking hammy gusto by Peter Stanovich) decide to break into Slaughter Studios to make one last B-grade creature feature on the premises before it meets the wrecking ball. However, Slaughter Studios proves to be the stalking grounds for a vicious psycho.Director Brian Katkin, working from a witty script by Dan Acre and John Huckert, keeps the entertaining story moving along at a constant snappy pace, pokes infectiously affectionate fun at cheesy dimestore schlock cinema, makes fine use of the cobweb-strewn rundown studio location, stages the murder set pieces with considerable style and flair, and delivers oodles of tasty gratuitous female nudity along with a handy helping of juicy gore. Moreover, it's acted with tremendous enthusiasm by an eager cast, with especially lively and amusing contributions from Amy Shelton-White as harried production assistant Madigan, Tara Killian as stuck-up bitch Portia, Eva Frajko as foxy make-up girl Trisha, Anand Chulani as the hopelessly geeky Ollie, Matthew Roseman as earnest cinematographer Gary, Darren Keefe as idiotic and untalented wannabe actor Chad Daniels, Laura Otis as the klutzy Rebecca, and Lorissa McComas as the ditsy Candace. John Matkowski's slick and dynamic cinematography gives this picture an impressively glossy look. Christopher Farrell's spirited shivery score hits the stirring spot. Slice'n'dice fans should get a big kick out of this one.

Slaughter Studios was left abandoned after an actor dies on the set of a movie decades back. In the present day, Steve, an aspiring director plans to break into the Studios before it gets demolished. An unseen maniac soon starts killing the unsuspecting crew. This film has the gore. It has the copious amounts of nudity. I just can't help to feel that it would have been better if it were played straighter with less insanely stupid comedy. As it is, I've seen much worse horror/ comedies then this, trust me. Some of those said worse movies are used as stock footage in this one, by the way.My Grade: C- DVD Extras: Commentary by Brian Katkin and Christopher Farrell; Original Trailer; Trailers for "Stalled", "Shakedown" and "Lethal Force" Eye Candy: Serra Ellison, Eva Frajko, Lorissa McComas, and Laura Otis get topless; Tara Killian does full body nudity

spoofing horror films is something people think is easy. in truth, it isn't. just being stupid doesn't make something funny. it just makes it stupid. throwing a bunch of naked chicks in the flick only makes me think of some porn i'd rather be watching.this is a bad movie that isn't scary. it isn't funny. heck, it isn't even gory. it is boring. i guess that's something.

I am sorry but this movie was so horrible. First of all, if you want to make a good horror movie, cut down on some of the nudity and sex. I know, I know, that every horror movie has the obligatory nude shot but this movie went over the top. The lines were so corny that at some points they didn't even make sense. There are some B-Movies that are fun to watch but don't even think about this being one. I got so bored during it. The music was so bad it didn't even set the mood for a good horror movie. If you ask me, I could make a better movie than this.
