Death Cast (2021)

The experience of six fame hungry actors is documented as they unknowingly trade their lives to star in an experimental horror film.This film begins with 6 young actors auditioning for a part in an upcoming movie. Upon being accepted for their respective roles they are all given scripts to rehearse on their own. A couple of weeks later they are all driven to a secluded house in the woods where filming will start. However, unlike other movies, they are all informed that there will be nobody filming them at the site. Instead, the director has chosen to place remote-controlled cameras inside the house along with cameras mounted on drones for any filming outside. So, once they are dropped off at the house, they are the only people there. What they don’t realize, however, is that the picture they are making is a “snuff film” and that all but one of them will be murdered. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an interesting film for the most part which suffered somewhat from an abrupt and disappointing ending. Likewise, being a low-budget production, it experienced the usual problems associated with films of this type, such as a weak script and uneven acting. It did, however, have a couple of attractive actresses with Danielle Stratton (as “Stefanie”) probably standing out the most. In any case, while this may not have been a bad film necessarily, it certainly could have been better in several respects and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
