Title:
Dazzler
Synopsis:
While attending a high-profile Hollywood party, Dazzler meets film director Robert Benson, who offers her a role on a music video he is directing for superstar musician Teddy Lingard. Dazzler intends to accept the gig despite her agent’s warnings about the supposed Benson-curse.
After Benson exits the party, he survives a car-bombing.
The next day, Dazzler calls Benson and accepts his offer to audition that afternoon—an audition she nails without even trying at all.
She arrives at the set the next day to begin filming the horror-themed music video, in which she plays one of the zombie dancers. A brief rehearsal and a meeting with Teddy Lingard later, the shooting begins, but not before Dazzler overhears Benson making a suspicious phone call to a news station. As per her role in the video, Dazzler gets buried alive. After she fails to emerge from her grave on her mark, Benson stops the shooting, approaches Dazzler’s grave, and declares her dead because of a malfunction. Just as he begins to weep, however, Dazzler reaches up and grabs his ankle. While pretending to be a zombie, she tricks Benson into confessing that he not only tried to kill her for the sake of his career but staged accidents on several of his earlier films as well.
Benson is arrested and Dazzler parts ways with a grateful Teddy Lingard.
