S&Man plot
Horror filmmaker JT Petty investigates the dark world of underground horror. When examining the comparison between film and voyeurism in the horror genre, things don't go exactly as planned. He discovers a collective of filmmakers, insane and possible murderers. The most infamous underground movie series he discovers is called S&MAN, produced by the humble and creepy Eric Rost. The more Petty digs into his subject, the more Eric withdraws, invoking a desire to protect his "creative vision". Petty's suspicion that the real reason may be that Eric's "actors" are in fact "victims" puts the filmmaker in dangerous territory and makes S&MAN the most disturbing horror experience in years.
