Copycat
In the summer of 1990, a teenage filmmaker successfully raises $100,000 to shoot a pioneering horror film. 25 years later, he tells the story of a cult classic that never was.
Why it matters
A meta-horror time capsule that dissects indie filmmaking obsession and the price of cult status.
- Explores the blurred lines between ambition and madness through a layered narrative spanning decades.
- A love letter to ’90s practical effects and the DIY spirit before digital domination.
- Perfect for fans of films like *Behind the Mask* or *The Disaster Artist* with a horror twist.
- Uneven pacing and low-budget limits undercut some tension, but the authenticity of passion keeps it alive.
