Smash Cut (2009)

Low budget film maker Able Whitman (David Hess from The Last House On The Left and Zombie Nation) is constantly derided by audiences and critics for his unrealistic horror movies. Whitman seeks solace in a strip bar (Ass Menagerie) and then crashes his car on the way home killing his stripper companion (the imaginatively named Gigi Spot).

A stroke of genius, or desperation, leads Whitman to use the dead stripper’s body as a prop in a movie, bringing a level of realism to his films that people respond to positively. Success comes at a price, and Whitman has to keep killing to satisfy his fans and producer, Philip Farmsworth Jr (Michael Berryman, from The Hills Have Eyes and The Devil’s Rejects, in an amazing wig).

Whitman’s actions attract the attention of the Gigi Spot’s sister and journalist April Carson (Sasha Grey from Homo Erectus, Ass Eaters Unanimous 19, Grand Theft Anal 11, and Gang Bang My Face) who goes undercover as an actress.

Smash Cut wants to be a homage to the works of people like Herschell Gordon Lewis, (Blood Feast, Two Thousand Maniacs), who has a small part in the movie, but it needs a little more humour, or a smarter idea, to become a cult piece in the new millennium.
