Special Effects (1984)

Reality and illusion collide as megalomaniacal filmmaker Chris Neville murders a young would-be actress, then sets about making a feature about the deed, casting the deceased's clueless husband as the patsy, and finding a dead ringer to play the late actress.

86% The ending was a bit of a let down, other then that, I really enjoyed this dark film.

Film within a film has struggling Director resorting to a snuff film by secretly filming a murder and building a film around it. I've always enjoyed Larry Cohen's sly wit, which is especially present in the script-writing homicide investigator here.

For m this was an interesting look at mid-'80s NYC, following around a director who kills a woman in his own apartment, then eventually contrives to get her husband (under suspicion for the murder!) to reenact the murder on camera for the film that he's working on. It's an interesting watch, with Eric Bogosian playing things pretty fast and loose just to see what he can get away with, and I absolutely loved his apartment. Worth a look if you have the chance.

Interesting, but sleazy picture. The lead actress is so horrible and almost completely torpedoes the whole movie, but listening to Cohen's ideas on the picture, gives me a different appreciation for the whole thing.

It is as if Cohen had a list of ideas he wanted to incorporate, but no real sense of how to articulate them, so they all wind up in a big, messy stew.
