Made by Sherman, a respected New York photographer best known for her “Untitled Film Stills,” Office Killer intends to mock the horror genre, though it emerges as a mockery itself. Laid-off copy editor Dorine (Kane) helps her boss with the downsizing at Constant Consumer Magazine, but not by using conventional corporate methods. She murders her former coworkers and then assembles them around a television in her basement. Inexperience isn't the only problem here; the clunky script would have stumped even the most experienced director.
