Chicago Sun-Times — Review by Roger Ebert is a surprising entry into the growing slasher genre, one that demonstrates far more craft than its lurid premise might suggest. While clearly inspired by the success of , the film distinguishes itself through confident direction and an unexpectedly effective narrative misdirection. The film’s greatest strength lies in its manipulation of audience expectations. By positioning one character as a likely suspect, only to subvert that assumption in a…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“This is the best film to come out of Harvard ever, short films included,” Robert Gardner, my filmmaking teacher at Harvard, said enthusiastically while crushing me in a tight hug. “Seriously, Noah, you've done more for the filmmaking course at Harvard than all the other students combined.” “Thank you, Mr. Gardner,” I said, a little embarrassed by his excessive praise when some of my fellow filmmaking students were standing right beside me. I separated from him a moment later and pointed…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“Noah, sit on the hood of the car and give me that high-fashion look, like all this doesn’t matter to you at all.” I slid onto the hood of the Porsche 911 and got comfortable. Thanks to years of modelling, this felt right in my comfort zone. I looked toward the camera, but slightly to the left, to make it seem like I was indifferent to its presence. “Perfect!” the man shouted excitedly as he continued taking photos of me in the same position from different angles. I had already shot…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“That was a fan-fucking-tastic movie, Noah.” Frank hugged me tightly and patted my back with gusto, as if telling me he was proud of me without actually saying it. “The changes you made to the film to give it a Valentine's theme were really commendable.” I chuckled when he released me. “Actually, those changes were suggested by Universal. I liked them, and they weren't too much of a hassle, so I agreed to do some reshoots. Had I not agreed to go back to Harvard to continue my education, I…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“If there’s one thing I hope you take away from today’s lesson, it’s that there are no painless solutions in this world, only trade-offs. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either campaigning for elections… or hasn’t done the assigned reading, as you’re about to do this weekend.” I couldn’t stop the amused snort that escaped me, and half the students were in the same boat. It helped that our professor was one of the coolest on campus. “See you all next week.” Everyone seemed…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

And the Oscar for the Worst Actor goes to... The Oscar ceremony was held last night, with emerging as the big winner. It took home awards for Best Film, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Timothy Hutton, who is the youngest male actor to win an Oscar in his category. But what’s interesting is that last night wasn’t just about the Oscars. It also marked the Golden Raspberry Awards, a newly minted award show dedicated to honoring the worst Hollywood has to…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

I decided to glare at the man who’d barged inside without so much as knocking, but the way he looked at Emma told me he meant business. “Cameron!” Emma gasped. “Couldn’t you have knocked?” “I got a call from your production team,” Cameron began without wasting a second. “They complained that you were acting like a diva and refusing to shoot. Is that true?” “Of course, that’s not true!” Emma glared at him. “Today is my first day on set. Why would I throw a tantrum today…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“I’m so sorry!” I immediately turned around. “I thought... you’d be dressed by now.” For some reason, my male ego forced me to lie instead of admitting I’d walked into the wrong trailer by mistake. “And you decided to come into my trailer wearing only a towel?” she shot back sassily. I raised the script pages in my hand. “John asked me to drop off the revised pages for tomorrow’s shoot so you could prepare. I thought I’d hand them over quickly and then go get…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“Thank you for coming here to see me,” I said, shaking hands with the man in front of me. John Landis gave me a nod. “It’s okay. I’ll do anything for my film. It’s my baby.” There was something in the way he said it that made me feel a little uncomfortable in his presence. Nonetheless, I indicated for him to take a seat on the couch opposite me. “So,” I began after a few moments of silence, “Why do I have a feeling that you came here not just to discuss the script with…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

“Aaaaahh! It hurts so fucking much!” I screamed as I writhed on the ground, covered in fake hair. “Turn around and show your back to the camera,” John Landis barked as he operated the camera himself. I did as instructed, dropping to all fours and howling while staring up at the ceiling. “Perfect!” Landis grinned. “We got what we needed. You can get some of the hair removed now, and we’ll shoot the next part.” Under the watchful eyes of dozens of crew members, I got up and…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
