Warning: Spoilers
Travis Simon (David Rountree, writer, director, producer) introduces the film with a narration claiming "This is not that kind of film." Travis works in a warehouse that supplies film makers with cameras and equipment. Lane (David Banks writer ,producer) in on parole for beating up a prostitute, his favorite pastime. Lane works with Travis as we wonder why Travis tolerates Lane's erratic outbursts and behavior.

Travis gets an idea to make a film of their own where they scare people. He has a script. Lane wants to wing it by setting up cameras around the warehouse and film stuff that way. Travis goes along as Lane turns to killing and Travis films it.

The film was okay while it tries to be different. It includes cameos by Suze Lanier-Bramlett (These Hills Have Eyes I and II) and Gabrielle Stone (daughter of Dee Wallace), but nothing to write home about. You watch a film that basically is "Faces of Death" while it tells us "Any idiot with a camera can be a film maker." Hmmm. David Rountree should have stayed behind the camera.

Nothing more than a rental. Soft 3 stars.

Guide: F-bomb, sex, brief rear nudity. Some blood, killing and violence. Nothing terribly graphic.
