Cutting Room is an American horror/comedy film written and directed by Ian Truitner, and starring Elizabeth Daily, Jon Polito, Weetus Cren, Richard T. Jones and Mark Elias.[1]

Plot

Charles Drake, a maven in the realm of low-budget exploitation cinema, has enlisted the talents of the budding director Ed Smith for his latest venture, "Curse of the Killer." The film's concept stems from an incomplete script penned by Ed himself. Ed envisions this opportunity as his ticket to stardom, although his optimism remains a solitary island amidst a sea of skepticism from all other parties involved in this wandering project.

As the gears of production churn, a grim twist of fate takes center stage – individuals associated with the film find themselves meeting gruesome demises one after another. Charles, well-accustomed to navigating the murky waters of unsavory characters, begins to harbor suspicions. He posits that the enigmatic figure behind this mounting body count might be a mob boss who covertly finances the film. However, in a world where everyone surrounding him is equally enmeshed in dubious dealings, singling out the true malefactor becomes a daunting task.

Amidst the carnage, a haunting question looms: will there emerge anyone unscathed, with the ability to see the film through to completion?
