series The Vertigo Effect
Directed by Larry Cohen | 1984
With Zoë Lund, Eric Bogosian, Brad Rijn
Pulp auteur Larry Cohen offers a sleazy exploitation take on Hitchcockian malice in this lurid psychosexual thriller about a director (Bogosian) who murders an aspiring starlet (Ms. 45 star Lund) on camera and then creates a movie around the crime, casting a lookalike actress (Lund again) to play his victim. Cohen deploys an intricate film-within-a-film structure to explore the disturbing implications of moviemaking as the ultimate fetishistic fantasy.
