Plot
Homage to 3 distinct Hitchcock films (Vertigo, Rear Window, and Dial M for Murder), the film begins and ends with our hero Jake on the set of a Vampire movie. Failing to rise from the coffin due to his claustrophobia, Jake attends an acting workshop to improve his skills. He has recently found himself homeless, due to the witnessing of his girlfriend's affair - it was "her place". At the workshop class, he get's a house-sitting offer he can't refuse. Later in the film, we see the "movie within a movie" in the Frankie Goes to Hollywood video for the song "Relax".
