Effects
A low-budget horror film about a low-budget horror
film gone very, very wrong.
"A chilling combination of
luxury and discomfort." - Variety
"An unsettling climax that
takes 'illusion vs. reality' to disturbing lengths." - Mondo Digital
"The Day For Night of
horror." -
Focus on Film
Cobbled
together with loose change by George Romero's friends, Effects is a mesmerizing
D.I.Y. frightmare that no one talks about, but everyone should. A group
of coked-up filmmakers - including Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead), Joseph Pilato
(Day of the Dead), and John Harrison (Tales From the Darkside: The Movie) -
gather in Pittsburgh
to make a slasher. As filming begins and "accidents" happen,
it's clear that something isn't right. And no one can be trusted.
Landing somewhere between Snuff and a student film by John Carpenter,
Effects is a meta-enhanced takedown on the philosophy of horror that doubles as
a sleazy and terrifying movie on its own.
Make-up
