The premise relies on the "killer" (dumb) boyfriend following all the instructions and not thinking for himself. Any self respecting person would realise half way through that they were being manipulated and would try to alter how events play out. A very frustrating ending.

After working as a projectionist for 25 years he decides he wants to make movies and his genre of choice is horror. The angle he wants to use is having real people commit the murders in his film. He hones in on a couple as his casting choice and starts filming. At the end of the film playing the couple find no one else around and before you know it she's been kidnapped with him locked inside the theatre. The boyfriend receives instructions from the disturbed projectionist on what to do if he ever wants to see... you know the rest.Robert Englund plays the projectionist who has been told he can no longer be the projectionist limiting him to selling popcorn and cleaning. This of course helps in his new psychotic career choice. Englund plays the part to a tee. This wasn't too bad as watch how deep of a hole the boyfriend digs himself into. The ending might upset you if you like regular happy endings.

Story: Ever get tired of the daily jobs? Well this shows what happens when one man gets pushed too far. When Stuart ends up in a heated argument with his boss he decides he wants to make his own film and who better to star in it than a young couple on a date. We see how Stuart puts Martin through hell to save Allie. There are twists in the story that really make a difference to anything we might have seen before. The one thing I really liked about this was the fact the couple were only just starting to date and we get to see how people can react to what could have been done while learning to trust instead of a long term couple who would never doubt each other. I was surprised with what I got here and I think this really needs to get a full cinema release, it is easily one of the best thrillers I have seen this year. (8/10)Actor ReviewRobert Englund: Stuart a cinema employee who can get all the odd jobs done, but when his boss pushes him too much, he finally snaps attacking him and setting up to make his own film with a young couple on a date. Robert is haunting in this performance, this could easily be put on a par with Robin Williams in One Hour Photo. (9/10)Finn Jones: Martin who is on his date with Allie who doesn't really want to watch the film they are seeing. He gets put through tests by Stuart so he can save Allie, but things for him take a twist. Good performance showing how easily you can look wrong in the eyes of someone you are trying to get to trust you. (8/10)Emily Berrington: Allie who brings her date to watch a midnight screening of a horror film (Good choice, sounds like a great date) but when she gets drugged, she spends half of the film being used as bait by Stuart before not knowing who to trust anymore. Good performance from Emily, could she become the English scream queen? (8/10)Director Review: Phil Hawkins – I am always one to praise a director who can come up with an original idea and make it entertaining, watch out for this guy, brilliant work here. (9/10)Thriller: Really keeps you guessing from start to finish just wondering what will happen next. (9/10) Settings: Isolation works perfectly here, being trapped in any building has been done but a new modern cinema really comes off original. (10/10) Suggestion: This is a must watch for all the thriller fans out there, it will tick all the boxes to make it an enjoyable experiences. (Thriller Fans Watch) Best Part: Robert Englund is brilliant. Worst Part: Not enough people will see it. Favourite Quote: Stuart 'But I'm not the killer' Believability: I guess someone could snap but I don't think they would end up going this far.

The synopsis on IMDb didn't make this sound very good, and I almost skipped watching it. The only reason I did watch it was because I like Emily Berrington. She was great in 24: Live Another Day, as well as in The White Queen. Robert Englund always ads a sense of fun in the horror/slasher genre. Finn Jones is good in Game of Thrones, so here's my review British lovers, Allie (Barrington) and her boyfriend Martin (Finn Jones), go to see the last showing of The Hills Have Eyes 2 and find they're the only ones in the theatre. Stuart (Englund) is a disgruntled cinema employee who is working as the concessionaire. He slips some drug into Allie's drink, just before she and Martin go into the movie. From there, Stuart proceeds to make his own movie, even though the actors - Allie and Martin - are less than willing participants.The movie is well done, and the acting is good. The ending isn't what I expected, so I was pleased by that. I like being surprised. I don't know if this was exactly what would be called a low-budget, because all three of the stars are hardly no-names, and they probably were not cheap, but then again, none of them are especially sought after either.I gave it a 6-star rating, because the story was original, as was the setting for it. I liked the cinematography, and the script was pretty good. I don't know that I'd watch it again, but I would recommend it. However, there are no jumps, but it was still fun enough for what it was.
