Chained for Life

Movie star Mabel Fairchild (Jess Weixler) was looking for indie cred when she signed on for the cultish horror vehicle mounted by an eccentric German director (Charlie Korsmo). As she sought to relate to her co-star Rosenthal (Adam Pearson)--an amiable Brit non-actor cast for his severe facial deformities--there’d be unexpected consequences for both. Aaron Schimberg’s self-referential and surprisingly charming film-within-a-film also stars Stephen Plunkett, Sari Lennick. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; deleted scene; theatrical trailer.
