Hadn't heard of this one till the press release arrived but it sounds like it's right up our alley. Here is the complete press release and the cover art.
Allumination
FilmWorks is thrilled to announce
that it will be releasing writer/director Matt Flynn’s action-packed slasher
spoof Hack! on
DVD December 11,
2007 for a
suggested retail price of $29.98.
Horror and hilarity combine to make Hack! a thoroughly entertaining
adventure in this send-up of slasher-movie clichés.
Reality filmmaking takes a new turn when
Vincent King (Sean Kanan, “The Bold and the Beautiful,” Chasing Holden) and his wife Mary
Shelley (Juliet Landau, Drusilla from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel,” Ed Wood), two rabid horror-movie
fanatics, decide to make their own reality-based slasher film
masterpiece.
These two filmmaking maniacs happen to
own a small isolated island where, much to their delight, a group of college
students, led by the deceptively innocent biology major Emily (Danica McKellar,
“The Wonder Years,” “The West Wing”), have arrived to study the local fauna in order to
earn some extra credit. While they
try to make the most of their time on the island, little do they know that
they’re about to end up on the cutting-room floor – literally – as the
filmmakers take on-set editing to a gory new extreme!
A true homage to horror, Hack! is packed with references to
both classic and contemporary shockers. It’s both a scary and very fun
ride.
Steven West of HorrorReview.com calls the
film, “Brisk and enjoyable… A good balance of splatter and laughs, plus an
engagingly sexy McKellar topping a first-rate cast.”
Hack!’s killer cast also includes William
Forsythe (Halloween, The Devil’s
Rejects), the legendary Kane Hodder (Jason in Friday the 13th Parts 7-10,
Hatchet), Jay Kenneth Johnson (“Days of Our Lives,” “North Shore,”
“Scrubs”), Gabrielle Richens (TV’s “Dancing With the Stars,” “Celebrity
Survivor”) and Academy Award nominee Burt Young (the Rocky franchise, Back to School, Amityville II: The
Possession).
