Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Reel is a pair (with a third in the making) of Canadian independent Found Footage horror movies, following the exploits of one "SlasherVictim666" (or "Slasher" for short), a serial killer obsessed with becoming the greatest filmmaker ever.The first movie sees him stalking a vain YouTube movie reviewer named Todd Smith (no, not that Todd Smith, though both series are Canadian), who grew up in the same small town as him, while comparing their personal lives. The second movie is the result of an In-Universe Creator Breakdown, where SlasherVictim666 is upset because his first movie wasn't the hit that he thought it would be. He eventually comes to the conclusion that in order to make his movie a much bigger hit, he has to "cast" a woman in the "lead" role. Around this time, he befriends "Assistant Jane", a Polish immigrant who's at risk of being sent back home.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

All There in the Manual: There's a downloadable PDF called 50 Movies That Inspired Me To Be The Greatest Director Ever on the official site that describes much of Slasher's childhood in detail, in addition to being Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

Affably Evil: Slasher is always incredibly polite to fans when conversing with them online. Of course, it's not actually him speaking, but his seemingly anonymous actor staying in-character.

comment
The Alcoholic: Gregs is a heavy drinker and it's constantly interfered with his filming schedule and the time he spends with the McKuttle family, enough to make Slasher worry about him.

comment
Abusive Parents: Doug McKuttle was a director of what's heavily implied to be snuff films, and mistreated his children by telling them that he'll never live up to him. He kills his older son, James, when he finds out that he's been having an affair with his own mother.
