Plot:
When the B horror movie ‘Chain-Face Clown’ was released in 1985, no one knew the film would one day become a classic. Heralded as a cinematic “tour de force”, well, at least by a select group of horror movie fans. The film’s biggest fan, 29-year-old Emily Lynessa always knew she was going to meet and fall in love with Jonathan Blaklee, the star of the movie. She has idolised him, and the film, ever since she can remember.
Her plan is simple: meet Jonathan at an upcoming autograph signing for the DVD re-release of ‘Chain-Face Clown’, and seduce him. She will lure him back to her home, where Jonathan will be imprisoned until he realizes Emily is the one for him…
Reviews:
“There are no knowing twists or unexpected revelations, but the whole thing powers along at a pace that makes sure viewers don’t have time to get bored. With a good side helping of gore for those who like that sort of thing, Celebrity Crush is a comedy that always keeps a straight face.” Eye for Film
“It almost seems like it would have been better as a 20-30 minute short. Instead, we get a fair amount of repetition and some really slow moments. These do threaten to derail the movie several times but it holds it together by being an overly entertaining watch.” Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life
“Celebrity Crush’s production values are only a notch or two more refined, though, characterized by routine camera work, bare-bones lighting and rudimentary editing. Groaningly exaggerated performances dominate the hopelessly repetitive plot, which has the feel of a single act stretched to three […] an exercise in self-ridicule that’s often squirmingly awkward to watch.” The Hollywood Reporter
“Celebrity Crush is a cool ride through the familiar “insane stalker” genre… it’s fun, comes from an authentic place, and is incredibly well-acted. I’m definitely goin’ to recommend you cats n’ creeps slap your putrid peepers on this as it’s now available on VOD!” Horror Fuel
“While Celebrity Crush isn’t reinventing the wheel of the stalker gone crazy subgenre of horror, it is a fun time and one that celebrates just that: having fun with your horror. Robbins and Co. do a great job of giving genre fans a film that you can have a wild time experiencing and it’s well worth your time.” Scream magazine
