Hey all...
The movie I'm looking for is a slightly comical murder mystery/thriller. There's only a few elements I can remember -
*The main character was male, and his profession was something to do with movies/tv series, perhaps he was an extra, or a stuntman, maybe even worked cameras, I dunno.
*There was one scene where he was inside a coffin.
*The movie within the movie they were filming was a murder/thriller kinda thing, and elements of the movie began actually happening.
*Towards the end, it was like he "woke up" and he'd imagined the whole thing, I think this had something to do with the coffin scene, like, he may have been knoked out the whole time?
I remember it being quite funny, but had a few good scares too...well, at least I thought so when I saw it, at the age of like, 15-16. Wouldn't mind seeing it again...if anyone can help, that'd be cool...

Damn, that doesn't sound too hopefull...
If this helps at all, I believe someone was attempting to kill actresses in this "movie", and one of them MY have ended up being the killer themselves.
um, I THINK the coffin had a fake bottom that lead to someplace underneath it (I think the main character guy smashed his way through it at some point)...
Uncertainties:
And come to think of it, the guy MAY have actually been some kind of detective/P.I...
(and one more thing, the title of the "film within the film" may be the same as the title I'm looking for...although I'm not sure on that one either.)
Anyone??

It also kinda sounds like Hauted Honeymoon with Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner.

Nova, yeah...I think thats the one...I checked out the synopsis on imdb, and something said about peeping toms being framed rang a bell...definately sounds like the one.
Was it actually any good?
Thankyou
