It stars Jeroen Krabbé as horror filmmaker Boris Arkadin, whose pregnant wife Mary was supposedly brutally murdered by a Manson-like gang of hippy psychopaths during the 1960s. An eccentric recluse, Boris makes a comeback when he invites some actors to a large mansion in the English countryside to 'audition' for his new film. Unknown to most of them they are being filmed by hidden cameras linked to a snuff website.

Receptionedit
Philip French in The Observer wrote, "the movie is no fun, makes little sense and takes itself rather seriously".[1]Empire called it a "lurid, DV-shot sleazefest... Disturbing and distasteful, and not in a good way".[3]Derek Elley wrote in Variety, "Dialogue is cheesy in an unfunny way, plotting is unbelievable, even on a genre level, and performances are worthy of summer stock."[4]The Guardian called it "preposterous".[5]Time Out's reviewer wrote, "If there’s some fun to be had it’s in its frenzied plagiarism. It certainly fails as a thriller".[6]
ScreenDaily was more positive: "a deliciously Machiavellian horror movie which has cult hit written all over it".[2]
