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
Second film in our local Dismember the Alamo movie marathon programmed by Trace Thurman of the Horror Queers podcast.
Really love this one! The Hitchcockian / De Palma-esque cat and mouse premise after our mute protag witnesses a murder is both thrilling and amusing. I had heard this was a good movie and it definitely lives up to it. A treat to see this one on the big screen with a sold out audience. It’s still available on Shudder and absolutely worth viewing if you haven’t seen it.
Funny: When we first hear Alec Guinness’s voice I was like, “wow they’re doing a p good job imitating his voice!” Then we see his face. LOL - great story on how he got involved with this movie esp. given his disdain for being in Star Wars.
