Writer Jim (Tony Brownrigg) has become renowned for his socially
relevant screenplays ... but according to his agent (Miles Brennan), they
just don't sell, so Pete has agreed in Jim's name to do a horror script
next. Thing is, Jim hates horror, and he doesn't know the first thing
about the genre. And horror buff friend Carl (Edward Landers) isn't much
help either. Then one day, Victoria (Arianne Martin) shows up and promises
Jim to help him. Thing is, Victoria is a living dead woman, and she has
the nasty habit of killing people close to Jim. Jim soon desperately tries
to get rid of Victoria, but that's easier said than done - especially
since Victoria - being already dead - can't be killed. Eventually, Carl
comes up with a plan to get rid of her using some magic dagger - thing is,
she can only be killed at Halloween, which is still 2 months away ... From
now to Halloween, Jim and Victoria actually come closer to each other, at
one point, they even have sex, and when Halloween comes around, Jim
decides not to kill her after all, having grown weirdly fond of her ... when she gives him a present - a
tied up and gagged girl (Jenna Finley) for him to kill, so he can finally
get into the mood of writing some decent horror-stuff. Jim almost kills
the girl, too, until his conscience gets the better of him. When Victoria
kills the girl all the same though, Jim gets his magic dagger after all and stabs her to
death ... only then to find out he hasn't killed her but his friend Carl.
Victoria, still alive (in a dead sort of way), relates to him that she
isn't real after all but a figment of his imagination, and all the murders
he has attributed to her he actually committed himself. As a last resort,
Jim shoots himself - but now he comes back as a living dead, and subsequently
becomes the greatest horror writer alive ... Entertaining
horror comedy that still has room for improvement: While the whole thing
is full of well-written dialogue, the comic timing in spots could have
been better, the story could have been straightened out to make it less
repetitive, and a little more emphasis on the story's creepy and macabre
aspects could not have hurt either. But as it is, the film might not be a
masterpiece or even as good or sick as it could be, but it still is fun to watch.
