Popcorn (1991)

When a college film class decides to put on a film festival complete with 1950s style gimmicks, they stumble across an old film thought to be lost forever. The film was made by Lanyard Gates, a crazy cult leader who filmed himself killing his family in a theater.

Maggie freaks out because she has been having nightmares in which a creepy guy with a beard tries to kill her and the film is the same as her dreams. This leads her to believe she is actually Gates' daughter Sara.

When the film festival opens, Maggie thinks she sees Gates, but no one else sees him. Soon a killer is in the theater dispatching those involved with the film festival. Is it Lanyard Gates as Maggie thinks, or is it someone else? Whoever it is, they are adept at making masks of other peoples faces and they plan to kill Maggie onstage in front of the audience, who think it's another gimmick.
