Special Effects (1984)

Reality and illusion collide as megalomaniacal filmmaker Chris Neville murders a young would-be actress, then sets about making a feature about the deed, casting the deceased's clueless husband as the patsy, and finding a dead ringer to play the late actress.

Ambitious Hitchcockian thriller that might have worked better in the hands of a better director. Jonathan Demme?

The overdubbing is so extraordinary bad that it constantly pulls you out of the movie. At first I assumed that it was “intentionally badly dubbed” like when DePalma has a campy, low budget film within the film. Unfortunately, the flaws in Special Effects seem completely unintentional
