“It’s a very, very weird film and has scared off distributors from day one,” Rifkin previously told Entertainment Weekly.

Director’s Cut (2016) is a mind-bending horror-comedy that blurs the line between filmmaking and obsession. Written by and starring Penn Jillette, the film follows Herbert Blount, an unhinged superfan who kidnaps the director of a crowdfunded thriller and takes over the production himself. Through his own “director’s cut,” Blount injects himself into the film, reshaping it into his twisted vision while stalking its lead actress (Missi Pyle). Directed by Adam Rifkin, Director’s Cut is a satirical, darkly humorous take on fan culture, the movie industry, and the dangers of unchecked obsession. With its unique blend of found footage, behind-the-scenes chaos, and meta storytelling, this cult favorite offers a wildly original cinematic experience.
