When Joe Orpheo, a young, Hollywood-endorsed auteur director disappears from the decrepit and empty house location of his big-buck feature shoot - along with his entire cast and crew - opportunistic B-Movie titan Derek LeClair declares squatter’s rights and starts setting up a feature shoot of his own in the same house. But the terrible fate of Joe’s cast and crew also awaits Derek and his collaborators. The slasher flick hack and the up-and-coming wunderkind bring their opposing artistic visions to bear in a final confrontation that has a third creative presence as well, one only interested in possessing souls both above and below the line.
