As the horrible murders continue, Ritt is unknowingly pushed into the killer’s games and he soon becomes a target of the police.

The film Fatal Frames isn’t totally without credit. They seemed to have a decent budget, and that translated to fairly good special effects and decent cinematography. Even some of the set-pieces are better-than-average. It’s just that the film takes itself too seriously and that’s where the fun begins. The producer-star Stefania Stella and his (excuse me, her) boyfriend director Al Festa are on an all-time high ego trip, and for some unknown and probably bizarre reason they have managed to lure quite a few fairly well-known horror faces to witness it. Now we’re lucky enough to be able to see the outcome. Grab a few beers, some snacks and invite your friends over for something totally different.
