Fear City: A Family-Style Comedy
Directed by Alain Berbérian
Produced by TF1 Studio, France 3 Cinéma
A darkly comedic meta-thriller that blurs the line between a horror film and real murders at Cannes, mixing genre pastiche with genuine menace.
A second-class horror movie has to be shown at Cannes Film Festival, but, before each screening, the projectionist is killed by a mysterious fellow, with hammer and sickle, just as it happens in the film to be shown.
