Charles Drake, maker of C-grade low-budget exploitation films, has brought on neophyte director Ed Smith for his latest bit of twaddle, "Curse of the Killer", based on an unfinished script penned by Ed himself. Ed fancies this opportunity as his big break, though he is alone in this belief as most everyone else involved with the meandering project sees it for what it is. Everything turns a darker shade of weird when people involved with the production start getting gruesomely killed off one by one. Charles, who has a history of dealing with nefarious characters, suspects the person responsible for the body count is a mob boss who is funding the film, but no one knows for sure. In the end, will there be anyone left to complete the film, or will the prophecy in the script "Curse of the Killer" turn into a reality?
The film premiered in 2006 at the Milan International Film Festival (MIFF)[2] and was distributed by Anthem Pictures. In 2010 the film was renamed "Wide Scream" for its Australian release.[3]
