Indie filmmaker extraordinaire Jim Cummings returns with another twisted triumph that fuses genre elements into comedy gold. Splitting writing and directing duty with PJ McCabe (who makes his feature film debut and also co-stars alongside Cummings), the pair cook up a sharp, no-holds-barred satire of Hollywood that inhabits the form of an erotic thriller with horror leanings. Slick and controlled, The Beta Test is delightfully unpredictable and features another excellent performance from Cummings.
