To make matters worse, the location proves to be haunted by the ghosts of a former production crew who died during a previous shoot.
Harry, who is desperate to make a successful movie, becomes increasingly unbalanced as the days pass. He lashes out at his cast and crew and even takes to sabotaging the production himself in an attempt to create more suspenseful situations. The resulting chaos is both comedic and horrifying.
Despite all the setbacks, Harry manages to complete filming, but when he screens the final cut, he realizes that the production is a complete disaster. Frustrated and defeated, Harry abandons the project and retreats to a bar to drown his sorrows.
