Popcorn
Synopsis:
Popcorn is Canadian slice and dice action par excellence - and returns to the good old days of splashed blood, high body counts and a mysterious killer as a young female screenwriter (played by the great Scream Queen Jill Schoelen from
The Stepfather and
Cutting Glass) suffers nightmares of a strange figure who may well be breaking into the 'reel' world. Postmodern and provocative, and featuring a genre ensemble cast that includes Dee Wallace Stone (
The Howling) and Kelly Jo Minter (
The People Under the Stairs),
Popcorn has maintained a following of macabre movie fans for decades since its release!
