Shot in 1991, but you'd be forgiven for thinking it was an early 80's flick, Popcorn is a fun horror.
Plot: A newly created film deptartment at a university is lacking funds, to raise said cash, they hold a horror festival, one night only at a soon to to demolished movie theatre, showing films in smell-o-vision and 3D. While leafing through set props the film students discover a reel that dipicts a rather disturbed cult leader. We learn he tried to kill his entire family as performance art. All the wile, the perky girl (there's always one) has odd dreams and thinks she's connected to the mad man. Then there's some people killed, etc.
Great facial prosthethics, there's a giant mosquito and some good individual scenes. It could have been darker, but who needs that when you've got left over 80's trash.
Budget: $?, can't have been much.
Gross: $4,205,000
Fun Fact: Small role for Dee Wallace-Stone (The Howling, Cujo, E.T.). This film was shot entirely in Jamaica, which might explain the oddity which is the reggae band appearing throughout the feature.
