All About Evil (2010)

The opening credits are arguably the best part of this blackly humorous homage to the heyday of horror made by Peaches Christ, but everything that follows is great fun and well-paced right to the end.
Natasha Lyonne, as a shy librarian with a new-found passion for making a killing (literally) as a horror director, steals every scene she’s in. She and her collective of blood-thirsty antagonists go all out to make it as dramatically entertaining as possible.
The occasional genre in-joke will keep fans happy; the highlight of which for me was Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) as a concerned mom.
