A group of young students enrolled in a film course decide to reopen an old theater and screen some horror films revised with special effects (a fake wasp that flies around the theater, a machine that makes the “coders” real, and some seats that give shocks). On the day of the inauguration, the young people discover the film of a director who killed his own family to make a movie and then set himself on fire… and here he is to ruin the party, the director comes back… A bad horror that is hard to watch until the end. The subject was quite original, but the execution is poor for a film completely without interest that doesn't even offer a truly scary sequence.
