Horror Queen

THE PLOT

Two slackers working at a film processing lab find a hidden movie titled Macabre Pair of Shorts with a warning label on the front. Smart guys that they are, they decide to screen the film for themselves. The film tells three separate stories, with a wraparound of a vampire couple watching television. Once the film within a film ends, the guys are horrified to find that the film itself has come to life and is now eating everyone insight.

THOUGHTS/OPINIONS

I think this is probably one of those horror movies that was filmed and shelved, only to find a release because of one minor celebrity in the film. Remember that Texas Chainsaw sequel? Here it was David Boreanaz though he doesn’t appear for very long. His character’s name is David and he has a total of three lines in the whole movie.

This was still a little better than I was expecting. You should know that this is more of a parody than anything else, so it’s best if you don’t take it too seriously. I even laughed a few times. Everything that you want to make fun of: the acting, sets, plot, whatever is all fodder for the film because it actually wants you to laugh at the ridiculousness of the whole thing. I wouldn’t buy the movie, but it was still better than I expected.

FUN TRIVIA

David Boreanaz from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” actually has a small role in this movie. It was his first on screen acting job.
