[Fright Flick]
Plot:"Fright Flick" keeps the laughs and screams rolling with a sinful combination of dark humor, suspense and comic-book-style gore! In the movie...that satirizes the filmmaking industry...when the air-headed leading lady of a B-grade fright flick turns up brutally murdered during the film shoot, the motley members of the cast and crew find themselves at the heart of a real-life whodunit - and with so many competing egos on set...everyone's a suspect!

Cast:Chad Allen, Mitchell Self.

My Thoughts:Campy B-horror fun!

Review:"Fright Flick" is an indie slasher pic from filmmaker Israel Luna, about some murders that are occuring on the set of a B-grade horror film. This all begins when the films star, a prototypical blonde, gets murdered in her dressing room. By a mysterious assailant, who is never captured. She is then replaced by another actress, and the shoot goes on. That is atleast until...the murders kick up again. "Fright Flick" is a movie shot on a very small, modest, budget.

I think if I had to estimate it's shooting finances, it would be somewhere between "Return To Sleepaway Camp", and "Satan's Little Helper". A decent budget, and Luna as writer/director...manages to make the movie work well enough to climb above any limitations it's financial straits may have placed onto it. This is one of those movies where a bunch of murders are occuring on the set of a real-life horror film, as it's being shot. We've seen this formula done before in movies like "Smash Cut", "Scream 3", "Skeleton Crew", etc.

It seems the indie horror genre...and to an extent, studio horror films, are in love with this premise and or scenario. Luna's film though boasts a cast of extremely diverse characters though. And that helps it a lot, even through those rough patches where the dialogue isn't as on point as it should be, or the movie is just hitting a boring moment or two. The characters keep you on your toes, and all have personalities that range from so many different ends of the spectrum. At the same time, they're all humorous in their own way.

As well as interesting on some levels, and ultimately, and most importantly...typical Hollywood. With a dash of exagerration thrown in for good measure. The deaths are extremely gory, which should've come as a surprise in an Israel Luna film, that stars Chad Allen, and comes from Breaking Glass Pictures and LaLuna Entertainment. These forces are always coming together to bring us some good gory times in the realm of indie slasher films. And "Fright Flick" is no different.

The movie is basically a prototypical deal where we sit back and watch random people get picked off by the film sets serial slasher. In bloody and differing ways and methods. We are then left to guess who the killer is, in a group of people who some are obnoxious, hyper-ambitious, hyper-driven, strange, odd, weird, and quite frigid. The killer could be any one of them. Which includes the character or two who could've just snapped from being around so many bad people, and just decided to start taking them all out. But Israel's film gives the characters...bad and good, more than just one dimension.

As far as character depth is concerned. Thus...it makes it all the more complicated and harder...to pin down or peg one or the other as the killer. Although you do have an idea from time to time as to who the killer might or might not be. This makes the movie a fun watch, as you actually have to pay attention to the film from start to finish, as it actuallyg rabs your attention considering you can't just easily guess who the killer might be, and then go do a load of laundry as you check in from time to time...waiting for your guess to eventually come true. It's really a smart film, and written way beyond it's budget and expectations I would say.

When things are all said and done though, and the third act is upon us...the movie saves the best surprises and loops and twists for last. As there are revelations that actually manageto be shocking and surprising. In an indie slasher film of all genres. A genre which has suffered greatly as of late from generic cinema, and lack of creativity and imagination. Luna's film manages to offer up an exciting and creative conclusion which also has dashes of dark humor thrown in for good measure.

This however doesn't compare to the films final scene, which is an even bigger laugh in it's twist-worthy outrageousness. "Fright Flick", although hampered at times by it's budget limitations, in an indie slasher/comedy film...that succeeds in bringing the slashing, and comedy full force. It's definitely worth a rental. Especially for connoisseurs of this particular genre.

Positives:Good performances, a solid script that works on all of the basic levels and thensome...very diverse and entertaining characters, gory kills, and a terrific third act.

Negatives:The budget hampers the movie in some scenes from achieving their maximum potential.

Overall:Three stars out of four.
