Roy and Helen Knable get shaken out of
their dull suburban existence when they respond to a
trial offer for a new cable- TV network. In the time it
takes to flip a channel, they find themselves trapped
inside "Hellvision," a nightmarish alternative
universe run by Satan himself. Roy and Helen must spend the next 24
hours trying to escape a diabolical line-up of inane
programming or say goodbye to their souls forever.
A hilarious look at contemporary
television hits in a series of satirical sketches, with
titles like "Sadistic Hidden Videos,"
"Northern Overexposure," "Thirtysomething-To-Life,"
"Golden Ghouls," and "Beverly Hills
90666." Co-produced by ST Productions (USA).
Distributed in Scandinavia by Scandinavia Media Alliance
(SMA).
Estimated budget of $25 million.
Shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and Tucson,
Arizona in Alpha Cine color and Panavision, prints by
Technicolor.
Animators and photographers began shooting October 15,
1991. The crew went into post-production January 25,
1992. when the shooting was completed. Released in USA
August 14, 1992 and on video January 6, 1993.
Similar in its style to "Waxworks," director
Peter Hyams' animated film, "Stay Tuned" was a
good satire of popular television and the people who
watch it. Animation by Chuck Jones is considered to be
of exceptional detail!! |
