Mary Jean is just dying to get in the movies… She's about to get her wish.
A dark, meta-thriller about a murderous filmmaker who exploits reality and cinema to cover his crime, blurring the line between art and atrocity.
Reality and illusion collide as megalomaniacal filmmaker Chris Neville murders a young would-be actress, then sets about making a feature about the deed, casting the deceased's clueless husband as the patsy, and finding a dead ringer to play the late actress.
