Resurrecting The Street Walker
2009, 80 minutes
An ambitious young filmmaker discovers an abandoned and incomplete horror movie from the 1980s and decides to finish it - big mistake!
James is a twenty something wannabe filmmaker whose just started work at a Soho production office as a runner. He’s eager to impress the top man, Mike Lowrie while struggling to please his superior, Dorothy whose incessant demands for food and habit of referring to him as ‘Shitface’ are beginning to take their toll. While doing his best to make himself indispensable, he starts clearing out the office basement where he comes across reels of an unfinished film, The Street Walker. Fascinated, he watches the film which turns out to be the story of a man who lures women home on the promise of a film audition before torturing them and eventually disposing of their bodies with acid. <P> When James stumbles across a scene in the film where the director, David Foreshaw’s reflection is revealed through a reflection in a shop window, he becomes increasingly obsessed with him and even more so when the sound runs on after a scene and he’s sure he hears someone say the words – ‘she’s dead’. Meanwhile James becomes determined to finish the film himself while best friend, Marcus starts making a documentary on his friends downward spiral.
