Less of a Giallo, Actually an 80s Slasher

This is not what I was looking for at all, I was hopeful because of the creative usage of the movie theater atmosphere but this director was obviously more influenced by the experience of being a child in the late 1980s or early 90s and watching slasher flicks than anything else. Depressingly, the film they're watching in the theater for our "meta" experience as an audience is complete crap. Apparently, the folks creating Al morir la matinee could not purchase the rights to something a little more recognizable even if it was low grade sleaze. One Dario Argento poster for Opera hangs prominently in lobby, but we're dragged through some American D-movie I've never even heard of.

5 stars for style, totally watchable, just probably never again unless I'm stuck in a hotel with basic cable somewhere.
