Dani is currently, and unofficially, living on the set of the film she is working on. Her attempt to arrange a late night hook-up with an ex-boyfriend instead conjures up someone – or something – else. Something that will not take no for an answer.
GRIMMFEST SAYS: Matt Stuertz (TONIGHT SHE COMES) makes a much-welcome return to Grimmfest, with this mind-bending tale of a hapless young actress, alone in a deserted film studio, struggling for survival against a malignant and mysterious intruder whose manipulative skills quickly move from psychological game-playing to the reshaping of reality itself. A manic and mischievous mix of the metacinematic and the metaphysical, it serves both as a sly commentary on the horror genre’s love of tormenting its “final girls”, and a wider meditation on the notion of the deus ex machina as narrative resolution. Blackly funny, brutally bloody, and utterly outrageous by turns, with riffs on Sam Raimi, and a twist or two of Troma, this is a riotous, rambunctious slice of splatter satire, wild, weird, and frequently jaw-dropping in its chutzpah, Anchored by tour-de-force lead turns from Jackie Kelly and Jeffrey Decker, both most recently seen at Grimmfest in SYPHON, and beautifully shot by David Christopher Pitt (SYPHON, LOOM), this confirms Stuertz as one of the most startlingly original and unpredictable voices in contemporary genre cinema.
