In this horror story liberally laced with comedy, an up-and-coming rock band called the Wiseguys are making their first music video and they are shooting on standing sets at a major Hollywood studio. Some of the world's best-known horror films were shot there and the band and their director plan on milking the spooky ambience for all it's worth. However, it turns out there are more than just pretend scares in store for the band -- it seems a masked murderer is stalking the studio lot, and is re-creating a number of well-known death scenes, with the band and their girlfriends as unfortunate "extras." The Back Lot Murders stars Priscilla Barnes, Corey Haim, Charles Fleischer, and David DeFalco. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A music video shoot sets the stage for murder in this self-consciously hip horror satire from Framework Entertainment. Presented in 1.33:1 full-frame and offering audio in a selection of either English or Spanish Dolby Digital Stereo, this release also offers such notable extra features as interviews and a behind-the-scenes featurette. Also included is a theatrical trailer. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
