(2015)
Regisseur:
Martin OwenSchauspieler:
Eric Roberts, Mischa Barton, Dave Bautista, Andy DickEin im Epizentrum der Oberflächlichkeit agierender Slasher entführt in aller Öffentlichkeit eine Reihe von Reality-TV-Sternchen, was die Medien zu selbstkritischen Fragen herausfordert: Kommen wir ohne diese C-Promis nicht besser zurecht? Können wir nicht ganz auf diese eitlen Sternchen verzichten? Spätestens als eines dieser Pop-Produkte hingerichtet wird, erfahren wir einen Einblick in die Innenwelten repräsentativer Rollen wie die der Schauspielerin, des Reality-TV-Stars, des Drogendealers oder gar des Bürgermeisters.
Incensed by the tabloid culture which celebrates it, the L.A. Slasher publicly abducts a series of reality TV stars, while the media and general public in turn begin to question if society is better off without them. A biting, social satire about reality TV and the glorification of people who are famous for simply being famous, "L.A. Slasher" explores why it has become acceptable and even admirable for people to become influential and wealthy based on no merit or talent - purely through notoriety achieved through shameful behavior.
