Overview

Billy is mute, but it hasn’t kept her from becoming a successful makeup artist. While in Russia, working on a film directed by her sister’s boyfriend, Andy, Billy finds herself trapped in the studio one night and is horrified to see a snuff film being made. Billy escapes and, with the help of her sister, Kate, alerts authorities about what she saw. Unfortunately, in doing so, she makes an enemy of the Russian mafia, who funded the snuff film.

Viewing Notes

I’ve never heard of this movie even though it’s from the mid-90s and it’s pretty good! Set in Russia and filmed largely at the Mosfilm studios in Moscow, this also hits my sweet spot of being a movie about making movies.
