Effects
The story follows a small, low-budget film crew working on a slasher film in a secluded mountain cabin. As the shoot progresses, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur for the cast and crew. They slowly come to realize that the director, Lacey Bickle, is secretly operating hidden cameras to film a separate, nefarious project—and that the staged camera killings are actually turning into a real-life snuff film.
