Somewhere in Hollywood, CA: Pamela (Jackie Moore) couldn't be happier
when she learns her new landlord Alan (Daniel O'Meara) is a veteran actor,
and one who takes an interest in her young career even, starts to mentor
her out of pure friendship. Sure, his methods are unorthodox, but she
trusts him and takes a liking in him - only as a friend though. Thing is,
Alan is not a perfectly good guy: Not only is he perfectly washed out as
actor and weirds out all casting directors across town with his constant
narcissist attacks and his failure to do even very simple readings. As
balance for this, he puts casting calls up on the internet, only to either
freak out the girls who answer ... or he even murders them, and in very
brutal ways, too. Pamela though is safe from his attacks ... well, until
she gets a role in a soap opera behind his back, and introduces him to her
boyfriend Seth (Brett R. Miller) - upon which all hell breaks loose in
Alan, emotionally ... Everybody's fave Eric Roberts plays an
entertainingly broad parody of himself as Alan's cocaine-obsessed best
friend. Deadly Famous is a mean little film, and not all
murders in it are easy to stomach - though it's often what's not shown but
only suggested (like Alan's cannibalistic urges) that's even more
disturbing. But that said, Deadly Famous is more than just your
typical gross-out shocker, it's actually well-structured enough to invite
us into Alan's head for a bit, does outbalance its gruesomeness with bits
of comedy and the like, and not only does Daniel O'Meara really carry the
movie with his performance, he also has great chemistry with Jackie Moore
that's really needed to properly engage the audience. Cool movie ... but
pretty creepy all the same!
