“The Scout” (** out of four) was a minimalist horror comedy about a group of low-budget filmmakers (Anastasia Elfman, Kenneth Guertin, Eric Marq, and others) who go off on a horror shoot when a masked killer shows up and crashes the shoot and kills them off one by one and they have to use their survival smarts from their own horror films to outsmart him and stay alive. Never surpasses mediocrity but marginally better than others of its ilk thanks to some sharp and ironic dialogue about past horror films. Shot and made in all of 4 months! Needless to say, this is not a remake of the 1994 Albert Brooks-Brendan Fraser “cult classic” of the same name.
