Harry Penderecki, a once-heralded horror auteur, finds himself on the outside looking in at Hollywood. He hasn’t had a hit film in years and most in the industry, including his close friends, think he’s washed up. Harry is given one last chance to redeem himself with what could be his best—or last—picture. 'Brutal Massacre' becomes just that, as the cast and crew find themselves battling one mishap after another, and the film’s audience become voyeurs as they look into the vicious world of independent filmmaking, watching Harry struggle to keep his sanity against overwhelming resistance.
