Deadlock

Rating:
Summary: Watch it with friends!
Review: This refreshing spoof of the horror genre starts from a clever premise -- an out-of-work soap actor inherits his dead brother's house, and the things that were haunting his brother -- and takes it in surprising directions. Fun characters -- especially the neighbors that are only slightly crazier than real-life neighbors -- and a dead-on send-up of Hollywood's ghouls. Low-budget indie manages to do some clever effects on no money (a "making-of" docu shows how). I've seen it twice with different groups of friends, and laughed out loud both times.
