Who Would? Hollywood!
1985's SCREAMPLAY is one of those rarities among independently produced films that embraces its low budget and inexperienced actors and uses them to great advantage, and the result is an entertaining flick that is better than 90% of the tripe that comes from mainstream Hollywood. Not that these filmmakers dislike Hollywood far from it! SCREAMPLAY is, in fact, both a loving parody of Hollywood's second-string detective and horror films of the '30s & '40s and a celebration of the camera tricks and special FX of the early days of filmmaking.

Though a troupe of mostly unknown actors--as such, that is--the players in SCREAMPLAY are obviously knowledgeable about the cliched characters they are portraying and are well aware of the deliberate histrionics required to re-create such characters in a way that is both accurate yet still entertaining for a modern audience.

Who would love this movie ? Holly would.

Lloyd and I agree that this is a masterpiece ! This gem from 1984 is definetly part of Troma's unsung masterpiece series ! Even though it is in Black & White, it has a remarkible story that can entertain anyone !
Edgar Allen is a screen writer who came to Hollywood to sell his movie, only to have horrible luck and a horrible job as a janitor at a cheap hotel.
When he starts writing his horror novel about an ingenious serial killer, the murders start actully happening, leaving him guessing who is committing the murders ! And when the killer is revealed, you wont believe your eyes !
The acting is wonderful, the story is fantastic, the box art is wonderful, and I even think that Paul Bartel had a brief cameo in this ! A must see for every Troma fan !

So bad it's hilarious!

This isn't a movie where the actors are playing it straight and it comes off stupid. These folks are playing it for yucks from scene 1. It's wonderful. I paused the movie to write this and I can't wait to get back. This is great. Might be worth buying.
