Ron (Carlos Javier Castillo), a small-fry porn director of Ed Woodian
enthusiasm but unfortunately also his talent (and don't forget, Ed Wood
has directed porn as well [Ed
Wood bio - click here]), is convinced he's destined for
something bigger and thus makes his next movie a horror-porn-blend, a
genre he dubs horno. On set, he has to deal with all the usual
problems of a story-driven porn production, like an entire cast devoid of
any and all acting talent, a camerawoman (Ingrid Nicole Kennedy) falling
in love with one of the actresses (Oceana Christopher), actors (Frank
Merchant, Mitch Ryan) with erectile problems, and the like. Things really
get out of hands though when his male lead Dick Nasty (Terrence Williams)
not only has his dick bitten off by his girlfriend (Audrey Orozco), who
has turned into a zombie after taking some new drug, but Dick is also
turning into a zombie himself, starting to kill his castmates - who also
turn into zombies of course ... As Ron's cast and crew (which were
skeletal to begin with) get smaller and smaller, he by and by finds out
the source of the zombies, the very drug his (gay) male leads take to get
it up in a hetero scene. And ultimately, to get out of the whole story
alive, Ron has to kill his best friend, who's just on the verge of turning
into a zombie - but fortunately he has caught the whole thing on camera
and is able to sell it to his producer as the film he was intending to
make. The movie becomes a phenomenal success, but unfortunately, Ron has
forgotten that one of his male performers-turned-zombies has escaped the
set to roam the streets ...

Before saying anything else, I feel
obliged to state that Horno is not a hardcore porn-and-gore show but a
tits-and-ass film with some shocks thrown in. Having said that though, Horno
is the funniest combination of sleaze and gore in a long time, a
movie that works so well because writer/director Terrence Williams, a
filmmaker firmly rooted in independent horror, knows this world
quite intimately (and actually, his own film Revenge
of La Llorona shows quite a few parallels to this one) - and he seems to have a great time poking fun at it, from
the opening scene of a silly porn shoot (for a movie incredibly titled Jevoha's
Witness Anal Sluts) and Ron the film director whose talents never
match his artistic aspirations to the many scenes where the actors in the
film-within-the-film fight their way through the incredibly silly dialogue
and the big egos of the undertalented porn cast. Add to this a cast that's
really in on the joke and is having a good time and a direction at ease
with comic timing and not shying away from blood and guts either, and
you've got one fine piece of sleazy and gory fun.
