Scream Queen (2003)
Indie spoof of scary movies... or a slacker Nosferatu?
Scream Queen looks like an indie DV movie that goes behind-the-scenes in the making of an indie DV horror movie... kind of like the version of Nosferatu with John Malkovich that starts with the premise that the actor might really be a vampire. Good characters, including a horror movie geek who decides that he can make a movie just as good as the ones he loves, and the B-movie actress who's the star of his favorite movies and the object of his obsession. He decides that he, being her biggest fan, should direct a movie where she finally gets to stretch her acting talents. There's good plot twists, as the no-budget production is forced to shoot in a remote location in the Mojave desert with an inexperienced, strange crew... It's like Scary Movie for people who have brains.
