Synopsis

A horror novelist and screenwriter who is a national celebrity — think Stephen King — tries to finish a new screenplay as his personal life falls apart around him. Throughout this film, his increasingly gonzo thematic ideas are shown in full fantasy set pieces in counterpoint to the wreckage of his personal life. A genuinely disturbing and powerful film full of gory deaths and new wave music.
