The core idea of the film, that a fan stalks former Friday the 13th actors is wonderful. What a disappointment that it was poorly written and fraught with over-acting, especially from Dee Wallace and Corey Feldman. The improbability of a completely incompetent police force doing no investigating when there are metric tons of evidence: texts, phone calls, videos, notes, etc is laughable. That none of the victims seem capable of defending themselves (until the climax of the film) is not at all believable and undermines the effectiveness of the film. Spoiler alert: the plot line twist, which started well when the "Snuffed Out" director was revealed as the killer, is destroyed by the twist to the twist, that an Friday the 13th franchise actress is a partner in the killing because she despises Dee Wallace's stardom. Bottom line: this is a forgettable treatment of what could have been a truly haunting thriller.
