The majority of this movie was filmed on location in Kingston, Jamaica in the Ward Theatre, 10, North Parade, Kingston. The theatre was opened December 16, 1912 with a production of Gilbert & Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance". It is in a poor state of repair after being badly damaged by Hurricane Dean in 2007 and from 2012 funding has been sought for renovation.I watched this film recently on the Horror Channel in the United Kingdom and found it entertaining, holding my interest until the end. The acting was average for this type of film. As an aficionado of cinema and theatre building, it was its authentic setting which made it most enjoyable for me, and it was great to see the building in such good shape. Let's hope it will be restored in the near future.

A film club hosts a horror festival at their local cinema. The main character turns out to be the daughter of a film-maker and murderer and she is stalked by someone who she thinks is said killer returned to finish what he started. I liked the low-budget film look and there were some amusing moments and I really liked the films within the film. However, the characters mostly blended into one and although the setting is kind of unique, the story has been done so many times before that this film became dull and uninteresting during the last half hour when we find out who the killer is and then the day is saved by the 'hero' in a rather anti-climatic and predictable manner. While Popcorn has its moments they are few and far between.

This 1991 horror film stars Jill Schoelen, Tom Villard, Dee Wallace, Derek Rydell and Kelly Jo Minter. Schoelen (The Phantom of the Opera) plays film student, Maggie who has been having weird dreams and thinks about using them to write a film. Soon, she and her classmates have a chance to run an all-night horror film festival. That's when a mysterious, scarred killer starts wiping out the employees to get to Maggie. Maggie begins to wonder if the killer is someone from her past or not. The late, Villard (One Crazy Summer) plays Toby, Wallace (The Howling) plays Suzanne, Rydell plays Mark and Minter (Summer School) plays Cheryl. This isn't a bad horror flick and Schoelen and Villard are great in it. I recommend this.
