A loving homage to the films of William Castle as well as The Wax Museum films in particular, this is a fairly decent effort that would have been so much better had it been tighter and better edited. The acting and production values are also more then a touch amateurish.

The film is about a bunch of students holding a "Turkey's" Horror Film Festival. They discover a truly bizarre and quite unnerving film called The Possessor which is made by some sicko who had apparently disappeared years ago having committed some atrocity or the other... sounds familiar?

You bet. He has apparently returned to increase his body count in various ingenious ways. There are some very enjoyable sequences especially those featuring the Turkeys but on the whole it doesn't move along fast enough nor provide enough tension to be entirely successful. A decent effort and commendable homage.
