Itself a genre film shot on location during the actual 1981 Cannes festival, [it] exploits the realities of cinema's biggest dream market, while weaving into this world of cutthroat deals the kind of slasher plot that can only happen in the movies.

The slasher material is pretty amateurish, but what’s fascinating about the picture is its makers’ guerilla approach, stealthily shooting ample footage from the 1981 Cannes Film Festival.

The backstory behind The Last Horror Film (Fanatic) is really far more fascinating than the actual production.
