An obsessive man named Vinny Durand (Joe Spinnell) is determined to do a film with his favourite horror film actress Jana Bates (Caroline Munro) whom is making an appearance in France.
He tells his mother that he is going to make a motion picture with her that will get into the Cannes Film Festival but she doesnt believe him. Still he convinces her that it will happen.
He travels down there but acts unprofessional about stuff when he talks to producers and other people who diss him.
These people suddenly are slayed while being video taped and there's a note to Jana that this will be her last horror film after she encounters a person who was just slaughtered. This freaks her out but her manager tells her this could be great exposure so they advertise it.
However, more and more people starts to become deadly victims and Vinny seems to be responsible for all of this.

 

I was in total agony watching this film after buying it at a store in Venice, California for a dollar as the film itself is more worth half that much.
There's nothing good about this one. It's extremely corny, almost plotless and terrible scenery in it.
If someone is to make a bad horror film they should do it right so it will appeal to viewers who enjoy bad horror flicks as I have fun watching bad one's but this one bites the dust.
It doesn't make any sense at all from start to finish.

The acting is terrible as it seems like the cast has only done experince by doing voice over's for foreign films as we all know how badly acted out they are.
This film isn't even worth watching for scream queen Caroline Munro although not many of her other horror films were top shelf either.

A lady actress is naked in a jacuzzi
Many woman are sunbathing topless
Some skinny dipping
There is also a stripper too taking it off.
For a terrible film like this of course they need to show this.

There are gory moments on some films shown like a guy being cut up etc.
A man's head falls off
A gruesome slit throat
A head is bloodily shot
A person's head is chopped off close towards the ending.

David Winters shows no inspiration at all with his directing as he makes the film a total bore.
Caroline Munro and Joe Spinnel of course worked together before in another awful flick called Maniac as I don't remember it too well since it's been a while but have no intention to re-rent it to review on this site as I nearly threw up it was so bad.

We have the typical screechy violin music and the piano playing composed by Jesse Frederick and Jeff Koz but it's really nothing to brag about.

We also have an interesting soundtrack by groups like Depeche Mode with their tune "Photographic" and the rest by Jesse Frederick and Jeff Koz.

Jana Bates: I've seen enough fake blood to know the real thing when I see it.
