Hack!

A group of college students travels to a private island owned by Vincent King and his wife Mary Shelley, a wealthy couple with a consuming interest in horror cinema. The students have come to study the island's wildlife, but their hosts have something else in mind for the visit, drawing the newcomers into a project built around horror-film imagery. As the trip continues, the guests find themselves facing a killer who stages deaths in the manner of scenes from famous horror movies, and the island's isolation leaves them with few options.

Hack! is a 2007 American comedy-horror film written and directed by Matt Flynn, who also wrote the screenplay, with Kim Eva Matuka, Sean Kanan and Elsa Ramo producing. The cast includes Danica McKellar as the student Emily Longley, Jay Kenneth Johnson as Johnny, William Forsythe as Willy, Sean Kanan and Juliet Landau as the island's owners, and Tony Burton as Sheriff Stoker, among 25 credited performers.

Made for about 2 million dollars, the film received low ratings: 4.2 out of 10 on IMDb from roughly 2,400 votes and 4.5 out of 10 on TMDB from a much smaller sample of 49 votes. Both audiences agree closely, and the small TMDB vote count indicates limited attention. The premise of film-loving killers combines comedy and horror across an 89-minute runtime.
