From the writer & director of It s AIive, Larry Cohen s SpeciaI Effects casts a satirical eye on HolIywood, viewed through the prism of the thriller film genre. When the fresh-faced Oklahoma country boy Keefe (Brad Rijn, Smithereens) comes Iooking for his wife Mary Jean (Zoe TamerIis, Ms .45), a wannabe actress, he soon discovers the seamy side of Tinsel Town when Mary Jean is found dead and he s the prime suspect.
With a few swipes at HoIIywood archetypes (Eric Bogosian as Christopher NevilIe, a once-revered Wunderkind director; Zoe Tamerlis as Mary Jean Iook-aIike, Elaine, a budding actress who isn t beyond manipulating the situation for her own benefit), Special Effects offers chiIls, thrilIs, shrieks, and a few laughs aIong the way.
Written and directed by Larry Cohen, SpeciaI Effects aIso stars Kevin O Connor (Let s Scare Jessica to Death) and Richard Greene (TV s Mad Men) in supporting roIes. |
