A hybrid of Hitchcock’s Vertigo and the Wayan Brothers’ Scary Movie, Rebecca 2 is trash camp b-grade melodrama staged in small town New Zealand. Rebecca 2 begins with the dramatic suicide of a young, beautiful Big Brother Reality-TV star turned presenter/actress, Rebecca. Kate, a scrawny kid with brown scruffy hair, a dirty face and black eyes, watches with intense fascination and desire the news broadcast of the celebrity icon’s untimely death. 10 years later more than Kate’s hair is a mess. Kate is unemployed - indeed unemployable - a chronic alcoholic, a binge eater and a compulsive masturbator. Recently fired from her job as a nurse aid for accidentally causing the death of an older heart patient, Kate has little more to do than laze around in her filth infested bedroom, eating sardines and Oreos and jerking off to infomercials. However, unimpressed with his wife’s slovenly behaviour, Kate’s successful novel writer husband forces our heroine into the world of 9-5, tan suits and income tax. Listening, not to the pretentious self-indulgent spiels of her husband, but instead, to words of wisdom offered by a daytime infomercial, Kate eventually ignites a desire to begin a journey of self-improvement and purification. Kate’s new found desire for employment, cleanliness and good health is, however, shortly lived. Through a series of unexpected events Kate discovers evidence that her lifelong love, the reality TV star Rebecca, may indeed still be alive, living under an alias in New York. Unable to shake off this intriguing and intensely erotic possibility Kate travels across the world in the hope of uncovering the mystery of Rebecca.
