☞ DETAILS:

Probably the Frenchiest way to spend Halloween. Parodying big budget Hollywood films such as Terminator, Pretty Woman, and Basic Instinct, this absurdist comedy has all the entertaining camp of a B-movie but with a distinct French sensibility (It is set during the Cannes Film Festival, after all)

☞THE MOVIE:

Odile, a sincere publicist, tries to promote a new horror movie at the Cannes Film Festival. The movie tells of a killer in a welding mask who murders using a hammer and sickle. The trouble begins when a real killer with the same m.o. begins knocking off projectionists at market screenings. – Synopsis
