Deadline Ratings & Reviews

jackmeatJanuary 16, 2025
My quick rating - 5.3/10. For the time, this movie pushed some boundaries. The writer of horror movies begins to lose grip of reality and cannot differentiate between his screenplays and his real life. This begins to effect his family and work to meet that final deadline. Sounds like a tagline but it is the point of the flick. A bit dated but still does a decent job watching our author (Stephen Young) slide into madness. Part of his story is the punk rock band from hell and is a great spot. Worth admission just seeing that 5 minute segment.
