The crew features a "washed‐up yet unwavering" director, a leading couple whose onscreen romance has bled into real life, and a hot‐tempered makeup artist. The true nightmare begins when the director performs a "Blood Moon Ritual" meant to force genuine terror from his actors, no acting, only real fear and real tears.
