A Meta-Horror Satire for the Modern Age

Once a scream queen adored by millions, Jennifer Hawkins now clings to fading fame—until a fan’s offer to reboot her cult horror franchise thrusts her into a deadly new role. But when the cameras start rolling in a rundown amusement park, the line between fiction and reality vanishes, and Jennifer must fight for her life as a real killer stalks the set.
