It starts out as a kind of film within a film, almost like a 'behind-the-scenes' featurette. We see the characters and their relationships and it appears like a bunch of buddies just getting together, having a good time, and making a low budget movie. But midway through, things take a menacing turn when the director projects a snuff film. It kind of throws you a bit, as it's quite unexpected, and leaves you wondering where things are leading - and some of the crew also begin to wonder what's going on. Suspicions are raised, tensions amongst the crew heighten, and it all leads to a suitably grim and downbeat ending.

It's not for everyone, but I abolsutely loved it.
