American independent film made in Moscow by a British filmmaker. Writer-director Anthony Waller's feature debut is a having-your-cake-and-eating-it comedy-thriller, mocking the slasher-stalker genre and eagerly joining it. Strictly mechanical, strictly cynical, but with some clever variations on the creaky device of the literally dumb damsel in distress, and a lengthy, skillfully choreographed game of hide-and-seek inside a hellish film studio. With Marina Sudina, Fay Ripley, Evan Richards, Oleg Jankowskij, and an uncredited cameo by Alec Guinness (billed as "Mystery Guest Star"). (1995) — Duncan Shepherd
