Talk about transcending the genre. This is advertised as a spoof of slasher films, and it is that, but it is so much more. Wonderfully acted, clever screenplay, and some very moving scenes between mother and daughter trapped in a movie.
Basic plot. Young girl & mother are in car accident. Mom, an actress in slasher movies, dies. Young girl grows up. At a showing of her mom's movie, fire breaks out. She and her friends escape by going through the screen (and into her mother's movie). Girl tries to save Mom. Mom, in the end, dies to save daughter.
Terrific most of the time; clunky now and again. All in all, really an admirable movie. I'm jealous of the writers.
