Take a look behind the scenes of the making of B rated movies in Troma’s is-this-supposed-to-be-funny? Not Another B Movie.  While a writer wants to produce a serious worthwhile film, the producer/director wants to make movie into a profitable cash cow.  How are they going to do that?  By make every scene into either nudity or violence, but before the night is over the script will be completely rewritten and redone.  That making a horror movie is a horrible thing to put any writer through and us to have to watch when they are this bad. 

 

What makes a good movie?  A high body count and sex, the more the better, is what the producer and director believes, because sex and violence sells.  To a very frustrated writer, his partners don't even care much less listen to his ideas or how the story should be.  As the writer tries to find a balance, he comes to terms that the producer/director will never produce a serious film.  Meanwhile, potential female actresses/waitresses are expected to cater to the director to get a role by willing to stripe for them.

 

This film pretty much makes fun of all B rated (personally I would give the film within a film a much lower rating) horror films.  It seems to say all horror film directors all have the same thing, naked girls getting killed in gruesome ways, while I won't argue the point sex and violence sells, but the same pattern over and over again does make the horror films predictable and boring.  So some writer finally makes a movie on how they are sick and tired of the producers/director following the horror movie cookie cutter formula and totally missing the point of film making.
