MTV's The Real World meets
A Nightmare on Elm Street in this independent horror opus. Five young people accept a film crew's offer of three months' free room and board in exchange for having their waking hours filmed as part of an experimental video project. Aspiring actress Erica (
Nichole Pelerine), funny man Tom (
Donny Terranova), sometime college student Gary (
John Fairlie), fast food worker and party girl Tina (
Promise Lamarco), and eccentric artist Kyra (
Amy Weber) move into a fully furnished but remote home in the mountains, where the other housemates discover that Kyra is a bit more eccentric than they imagined. Kyra has mysterious scars on her wrists, and she shows her new friends her deeply disturbing paintings of a faceless man hunting down innocent victims. But Kyra doesn't tell them that the faceless and bloodthirsty man has been haunting her dreams for some time -- and that he may not be a figment of her imagination.
Kolobos also features scream queen
Linnea Quigley in a supporting role; it was the debut feature for the directorial team of
