The enjoyment of this double-feature could be raised by a simple switch around of their running order.

The mock-doc crosses into This Is Spinal Tap (1984) territory with its farcical and at times surreal portrayal of the lives of the fading stars of retro-grindhouse-slasher movies who were not able to reach the classic cult status

This mockumentary about a fake movie is basically the ultimate prank, and the co-directors and their subjects sell the whole thing as real -- which is totally cool, hysterically funny, and shows a true commitment to the charade.
