Back in the early 1970s, at a mental institution near the Russian border, a crazed doctor, Dr. Anderson assumed the persona of "the Auteur," and began murdering his patients while filming the atrocities. Thirty years later, an American film crew has arrived at the hospital to shoot a horror film based on those awful events. The director, Steven, is determined to make the film as realistic as possible, a goal that doesn't seem too far-fetched when his Finnish sound men discover a hidden room in the hospital basement. There, perfectly preserved, are the original snuff films shot by "the Auteur". As Steven's obsession grows, his cast and crew begin to fear for his sanity. But this is only the beginning, because when Steven discovers actual camera used by "the Auteur", he assumes the role of the murderous doctor and the real slaughter begins.

Audience Reviews

patient1 6/10 Oct 15, 2025
We've a creepy introduction to this film, with a troubling environment and a rather menacing atmosphere.
The smell of mutiny as the madness is starting to show its ugly maniacal head is wafting through the air. The ugliness is showing in our possible main character, and the way he reacts to what appears to be true horror is very questionable.
We've now seen our first of the fatalities the director had tricked our cast into performing, and the body count grows. Things are getting really interesting now, and our characters are finding out just where they stand in this horror production.
...A Very Entertaining Film...
