- Synopsis:
- Cobbled together with loose change by George Romero's friends, 'Effects' is a mesmerizing D.I.Y. frightmare that no one talks about, but everyone should. A group of coked-up filmmakers - including Tom "Dawn of the Dead" Savini, Joe "Day of the Dead" Pilato, and John "Tales from the Darkside: The Movie" Harrison - gather in Pittsburgh to make a slasher. As filming begins and "accidents" happen, it's clear that something isn't right. 'Effects' is a meta-enhanced takedown on the philosophy of horror that doubles as a sleazy and terrifying movie on its own.
