A cross between 8MM and The Ring except it lacks either of their style and is even cheesier than In The Mouth Of Madness, of which it is also reminiscent. The storyline involves a purveyor of rare films enlisted by rich collector Ballinger (Udo Kier) to track down a print of the mythic La fin absolue du monde ("The Absolute End of the World"). The films premiere and only showing is rumoured to have ended in bloodshed. What could have been an intriguing look at morbid cinephilia is unfortunately made supernaturally ridiculous from the get go and we see way too much. The soundtrack is like a rubbish version of Goblin, which matches the Tales From The Crypt vibe of the film. It would have benefited greatly from some subtlety.
2/5
