Jim is a writer with a background in classical drama. His previous works "Green Grass across the sunset", and "A time for rememberence".. have not been selling so well. His agent, frustrated tells him to write him a horror film (he can sell that for sure).. Jim is reluctant, He doesn't like horror, he doesn't understand horror. (opiate of the masses) as far as he's concerned. His agent prompts him however, and he agrees to at least try it despite his hate for the genre.
While pacing around his house one night with a bottle of sherry, trying to figure out what to write about, he notices a body under the covers in his bedroom. He freaks out a bit as he pulls down the covers and finds a dead girl under them. She looks like she's been dead for quite some time, and looks partially mutilated. He quickly goes to dial the police, but finds that the phone has been disconnected. As he tries to figure it out, the girl gets up out of bed. Walks over to him and informs him casually that she cut the phone line..
Insert lots of freaking out, and running here. Victoria is her name, and she has the brutality of Jason, with the class of Grace Kelly.
When she finally gets him to calm down, (mainly because her intestines are hanging out).. She informs him that she is his muse, and is here to guide him through the rules of horror. He figures he is drunk and after passing out, and waking up the next morning. He realizes that it's only a dream. (thank god)... When she shows up again at his morning coffee shop, he realizes that only he can see her.
His appointment with his therapist follows almost immediately.
His therapist informs him that he's overworked, and needs to give up on this horror film thing. Jim finally agrees, and decides to quit.. While thanking his doctor he notices that he's not moving a whole lot, and blood is starting to pour from his lips. He looks behind and sees that a machetie is thrust through the back of the chair and the therapist is now dead. Suddenly Victoria is behind him again.. and informs him. "The first rule of horror is that the first mistake you make, is the only one you can't take back. ".
Now Jim must finish the script to Victoria's approval. The alternative is watching victoria kill all those around him in gruesome ways.. (all part of illustrating horror for Jim)...
Can Jim make a horror film that Victoria can be proud of before everyone he knows and loves gets killed? Will she finally leave after the script is finished? .. Will she return for the writing of the sequal?
this is the film that is "Red Victoria"
