Special Effects Aspiring actress Andrea (Zoe Tamerlis Lund, Ms .45) has run away from her domestic life in Dallas to New York City, with dreams of becoming a future movie star. Director Christopher Neville (Eric Bogosian, Uncut Gems) promises Andrea a role in his next film - but when she visits him at his apartment one night, a sexual encounter turns violent, and Andrea is murdered while Neville’s camera captures the whole sordid affair. When Andrea’s estranged husband Keefe (Brad Rijn) arrives to look for her, he is immediately suspected of her murder, until he finds an unlikely ally in Neville. In exchange for helping secure his freedom, Neville persuades Keefe to help him with his new film, and to find him a new leading lady, one who bears a remarkable resemblance to Andrea… Special Effects is a pungent, grindhouse-friendly riff on psycho-sexual thriller classics such as Vertigo, Peeping Tom and Blow Out, presented with inimitable style from the king of low-budget NY genre cinema, Larry Cohen (Q: The Winged Serpent, The Stuff).
