I was so fortunate to see this darkly funny horror movie at the Phoenix Film Festival in April 2024. Like many of us movie lovers, it's a welcome treat when you come across such a film with so many unexpected delights!
Led by veteran actors Lou Diamond Phillips and Malcolm McDowell, the talented cast take us on a thrill ride of what happens on and off stage in a production of Julius Caesar. Be sure to watch for a great comedic turn by Brennan Keel Cook as a handsome but not-too-bright actor, challenged by the pivotal role of Brutus.
Needless to say, not all the blood spilled remains on the stage. Screenwriter / Director Max Tzannes literally pulls back the curtain on a world of an ill-fated troupe of players and the crew who try to hold it all together.
