In between screening two films, the cannibal super-thriller “Dinner for Monsters” and “Slit,” an art house foray into the world of a human cutter for hire, the Dr. Nasty cast and crew find themselves battling off-screen antics, blown out egos, and a deranged killer who refuses to stay in the shadows any longer.
