Billy is mute, but it hasn't kept her from becoming a successful makeup artist. While working on a slasher film being shot in Moscow, she is locked in the studio after hours. When Billy witnesses a murder, she must struggle to evade the Russian Mafia and stay alive.
It feels like Waller poured all the inspiration he ever had into one movie. But for a film forged through a favor and trial-by-fire moviemaking, it earns its place in the panoply of '90s psychological thrillers that throw you for a loop or six.
Gets off to a great, scary start, but then turns silly and comical, breaking the film's tone of dread.

Waller's witty, well-crafted yet unpretentious thriller--about American youths who make a movie in Moscow and get involved with the underworld--is a seductive piece of filmmaking that should keep viewers hyperventilating to the last reel.
