Garrett Clancy, dir. 80 min. Horror. KILLER
STORY is a darkly comic horror feature inspired by Edgar Allan
Poe, and starring William Smith (Conan the Barbarian, Any Which
Way You Can, Rumble Fish, Red Dawn), Joe Estevez (Hell Asylum,
Dillinger and Capone), Pat Thomas (Uncle Fester in Addams Family
Reunion), and Janet Tracy Keijser (House on Haunted Hill).
Two pulp writers (Smith and Estevez) are locked
away in a remote saloon by a mysterious girl (Susan Featherly). She
challenges the two men to out-duel each other with their storytelling
abilities, offering herself as first prize. Both men are enticed,
but they do not know they are battling each other for their very lives.
First Fortunato (Smith) offers his story, a tale about a screenwriter
(newcomer Ron Drewes) with a wife from Hell who demands a face-lift
(Keijser). The screenwriter is happy to oblige. Next, Monty (Estevez)
follows with a tale about an ambitious college professor (Emmy Smith)
with a brain-damaged hubby (Thomas), who’s threatening to eat her
out of house and home. What she does to get rid of her gluttonous
beau is horrific and appropriate. It’s a tight contest, both men have
tried to outwit each other to win the Girl and stay alive by telling
the best Killer Story.
