‘The Movie’ Trailer Tortures An Actress For The Sake Of Authenticity [Watch]
Get ready for indie filmmaking gone real wrong. Today we’ve landed a trailer for Michael Mandell’s outrageous new horror comedy(?) The Movie. While it’s certainly low-budget, I have not seen a trailer like this in a long while. It’s violent, bizarre and totally out of control. In it, a creepy director uses a movie shoot to torture his favorite actress in her own home. Watch it for yourself below.
In The Movie, former child star Janet Gillespie is home alone one night when the doorbell rings and Walter, a delivery boy, shows up with a big package on a dolly. He recognizes her. Takes a selfie with her. Tells her he wrote a screenplay for her and even has it with him. Soon, Janet’s bound to the dolly and Walter’s shooting his movie right there in her house. Of course, Walter is no delivery boy at all. He’s a renegade filmmaker doing whatever it takes to get his movie in the can, which just so happens to be the worst movie of all time, Water Under the Fridge. Walter thinks it’s only compelling if it’s real, so he makes Janet experience the things her character is experiencing for real. There’s an onscreen kiss, a love scene, even a death scene, and Janet’s gotta do it all… with or without consent.
The Movie was written and directed by Michael Mandell and stars Bonnie Root and Jarrod Pistilli. Gravitas Ventures will release the film on digital platforms on September 6, 2022. The film has a running time of 85 minutes and will not be rated by the MPAA.
