Slaughter Studios (2002)
An actor gets accidently shot while filming a movie in the seventies. The studio is shut down for the next three decades. Just hours before it's scheduled to be torn down, an independent film crew sneaks in to make one last movie in the doomed studio. But soon someone starts killing the young crew and cast one-by-one. I found this to be a very entertaining film on different levels. IN one way it was almost a comedy, almost a spoof without the idiotic humor. But at the same time it was gorey and crude at just the right moments.Decent characters and death scenes, not to mention the gratuitous nudity. Oh the nudity! But all seriousness aside, it was a clever and entertaining film. Especially the last 15 second. 4 out of 5.
