While a small group faces conflicts in getting started on a new serial killer movie, a real killer is randomly killing everyone involved on the outside of the meeting room where the movie conflict takes place in this film within a film.
Cutting Room is aimed at being a serial killer comedy but kinda ends up just being a horror movie with a few one liners and a little stupidity on the side. Honestly, this movie has potential but it fell short on alot of points that could have made this film alot more watchable. The characters really don't have much personality and the killer only shows up in little spurts to give simple, unimaginative kills.
I did however find the janitor Manuel in the movie quite intriguing though the movie didn't really put him in enough parts to have a better understanding of why he was so creepy, or how he knew so much about what was going on, or so he thought. That and seeing Jon Polito in the movie was kinda cool, I remember liking his character in the movie The Crow as Gideon the pawn shop owner.
 
Anyways this movie seems to me to be a horror movie made by a guy that probably never involved enough of his time to be inspired by other horror movies. I think a little more creepiness to the movie would have set a better tone, but to me it just ended up being kinda boring and uneffective.
For mild watchers this might be an ok movie but for fans of horror I wouldn't suggest putting too much faith in this movie, you'll be disappointed.
