Short description

A crowdfunding supporter named Herbert Blount becomes dissatisfied with the production of a feature film. Driven by his obsession with the lead actress, he steals the movie footage and kidnaps her to force her participation in his own version of the project.

Released in 2016, this American blend of comedy, horror, crime, and thriller was directed by Adam Rifkin. It is the ninth film in his directorial chronology, following Chillerama and preceding Last Train to Fortune. The screenplay was written by Penn Jillette, who also produced the movie alongside Rifkin and Peter Adam Golden. The cast features Penn Jillette as Blount and Missi Pyle, who appears as both herself and a character named Mabel. Other roles are performed by Harry Hamlin, Hayes MacArthur, Lin Shaye, and Gilbert Gottfried, supported by a total of 101 credited cast members.

Produced by Clink Productions with a budget of 5 million USD, the film has received moderate feedback from viewers. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 5.9/10 based on 811 votes, while on TMDB, it has a rating of 6/10 from 36 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Penn Gillette lost so much weight during filming that by the end of the production period, it was no longer possible to reshoot certain scenes—the actor had changed almost beyond recognition.
