“Star Light” (** out of four) was a hokey horror thriller about a rebellious teenager (Cameron Johnson) who finds a pop star (Scout Taylor-Compton) who is beaten and left for dead and he has to help her to escape her violent pursuers but finds that they may be more than meets the eye. Ungainly pastiche of sci/fi and horror and teen melodrama elements doesn’t gell but is well-made enough to be watchable. From the executive producer of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” but this lacks that movie’s gory vitality and buzz.
