That’s a Wrap is a horror slasher movie following the cast of a newly filmed slasher being picked off by the killer from the movie. It follows the cast as they face the killer as the wrap party turns into a blood bath.
When it comes to horror movies using the production of a movie for horror, we have seen Scream 3 and Urban Legend 2 use this concept. However, this goes further to the post-production era, where the crew are looking to celebrate their work. When you watch this as a slasher, you get everything we would have expected to see. Each sequence brings us a bloody death as we see the killer picking off the victims. This movie is a welcome addition to the slasher collection in horror, getting to poke fun at the stereotypes that have become too famous along the way.
Final Thoughts –That’s a Wrap is a welcome addition to the slasher world of horror movies.
