You’re sexy.> That’s a movie line. I’ve never heard a woman really say that.Adam Rifkin’s meta, crowdfunded thriller didn’t blow me away, but it’s definitely a wild and wacky time. Missy Pyle and Penn Jillette (Penn and Teller) star in this strange low-budget flick.
Penn plays Herbert Blount, a crowdfunder for Adam Rifkin’s latest film, a horror-procedural. Blount decides he can make a better film than Rifkin, if only he could have Pyle all to himself and complete creative control. Totally plausible reason to kidnap a woman! What transpires is a hacked-together Director’s Cut of Rifkin’s original film, scenes with Blount and the kidnapped Pyle green-screened in, behind the scenes content spliced in, and Blount’s director’s commentary running throughout the whole thing. It’s definitely original, you’ve gotta give it that!
Penn brings the dark comedy with his role as a total loser and creep. Everyone else is pretty great as well. It’s also got Harry Hamlin in a supporting role with a
Real Housewives Lisa Rinna cameo! C’mon! I won’t spoil too much, but I really delight in people making weird shit, and
Director’s Cut is certainly that.
This thing is just begging to be watched and now steaming on amazon, so check it out!
