Cutting Room

Low-budget horror/comedy about writer/director Ed Smith working on a low-budget horror film besieged by a real murderer who is trying his best to derail the film by offing various members of the cast and crew. Less irksome (but only slightly so) are the studio liaison who wants to put his input into the film, the producer who's funding this little venture with mob money & the big name star's agent, Sandy (Jon Polito known best for his roles in multiple Coen Brothers' films) who won't let his client take part in the movie in order to pursue more lucrative ventures.

Perhaps labeling this as a horror/comedy is a bit of a misnomer as the horror elements are played down for the most part, and the supposed 'comedy' aspect of the film is non- existent. It was cool, as always, to see Jon Polito act, but his part is minimal and is barely more than a glorified cameo. I just felt that this film was much ado about nothing and that I wasted my time on it.

Also for those few that actually make it to the end credits before falling asleep, there's another scene after the credits roll (I wouldn't have known this if I hadn't let them play while writing my review)
