A horror film about a screenwriter who loses the ability to distinguish between his fantasy world and the real world, with disastrous consequences. As he ruminates on his place in any world and loses his grip, he also loses his wife and his children's respect, and critics tear him apart. The final undoing of this screenwriter is a deadline that must be met at all costs, costs that perhaps are too great.

Notes

My quick rating - 5,3/10. For the time, this movie pushed some boundaries. The writer of horror movies begins to lose grip of reality and cannot differentiate between his screenplays and his real life. This begins to effect his family and work to meet that final deadline. Sounds like a tagline but it is the point of the flick. A bit dated but still does a decent job watching our author (Stephen Young) slide into madness. Part of his story is the punk rock band from hell and is a great spot. Worth admission just seeing that 5 minute segment.
