Slaughter Studios

The film opens with Steve recounting the history of Slaughter Studios to his girlfriend Madigan. He explains that he loved the studio's horror films as a child and notes that it closed twenty years ago after actor Justin Kirkpatric was accidentally killed on a shoot. The scene establishes the studio's haunted aura and Steve's obsession with reviving it.

The next day Steve pitches his plan to use the abandoned studio to make one last horror movie. They have only nine hours to shoot before the building is demolished, and the script is titled Naughty Sex Kittens vs. the Giant Praying Mantis. The setup emphasizes the looming deadline and the reckless ambition behind the project.

The casting discussion introduces Trish and other actors, and Steve selects Kevin to play the monster while Madigan serves as production assistant. Madigan would rather act, but Steve refuses to give her a role. The tension between Steve's control and Madigan's ambition sets up conflicts to come.

That night Steve and Madigan arrive at the studio and meet the rest of the cast—Portia, Rebecca, Darlene, Candace, Chad, and Olie. They break into the studio, accidentally disturbing a homeless man in the process. The break-in establishes a tense, dangerous atmosphere from the outset.

Chad, an inept actor, is sent to a secluded room to rehearse. While alone, a shadowy figure sneaks up and kills him with a pick ax. The killer's presence becomes clear as the first murder unfolds.

With Chad dead, Steve improvises and casts Olie as the leading man. He also pushes for a lesbian sex scene between Darlene and Rebecca, which ends up becoming a real encounter. The improvisation heightens the studio's dangerous energy.

Darlene and Rebecca go to shower after the scene and are murdered. The timing of the killings suggests the killer is inside the studio and targeting those tied to the film. The body count starts to climb as paranoia spreads.

Candace wanders off to search for the ghost of Justin Kirkpatric and is killed, deepening the mystery of who is responsible. Her obsession mirrors the others' fixation on the studio's legend. The danger feels personal and inescapable.

Trish is strangled by the unseen killer, and her death is captured on a hidden video camera. The recording foreshadows the killer's reach inside the studio and hints at a bigger threat at work. The footage also raises questions about who else is watching.

Madigan discovers the hidden camera and confronts Steve, but learns the camera belongs to Olie, who planned to sell the footage to an online porn site for quick money. The revelation shifts suspicion and adds financial motive to the danger.

Olie tries to leave but is chased back into the studio by the security guard. Gary connects Olie's camera to a TV, and they watch the footage, which includes Trish's death. The group realizes someone is still inside with them and the risk escalates.

Olie is killed when the killer drives a spike through his head after discovering the bodies of Rebecca and Darlene. The trio realizes someone is still inside the studio with them, heightening fear and desperation. The body count continues to rise as the night wears on.

Portia awakens after a drug overdose and storms off when Kevin refuses to sleep with her. The dynamic among the survivors grows more unstable as fear and frustration mount. The night drags on with no clear solution in sight.

Gary, Kevin, and Madigan realize that the security guard is not the murderer and that the killer remains inside the studio. They acknowledge Portia is still in danger, and the tension peaks as they confront the possibility of a hidden intruder.

The killer finally impales Portia on the set, confirming the danger inside the studio. Beside the killer sits the ghost of Justin Kirkpatric, who shares the sentiment that it ain't right to fuck with a man's house. The ending cements the studio's haunted history as a chilling backdrop for the tragedy.
