Every once in a while a surprisingly good movie surfaces. And lately it's low budget movies that manage to come up with something unique and entertaining. This movie is one such gem. No A-list actors, which is always a good thing unless in your world, RJ is an A-list actor. That does not mean that the acting is bad. All the main actors do an outstanding job, if you appreciate subdued acting. This is not hyperhysterical sceaming dialogue that goes as good acting these days. Granted that some of the secondary actors aren't all that great- I'm thinking about some of the cops. The actors here succeed in portraying their characters, young community college kids, horny, hungry, funny. The script is outstanding. First of all, there is a script, unlike most movies these days that give you fancy effects and no dialogue. The script is fresh, funny, witty, unique. What starts out as a mundane story line of stranded cheerleaders in the middle of nowhere turns out to have plenty of surprises in store. The special effects are good and quite gory at times. The girls are pretty and there is a seriously erotic scene here, something you'll never see in your megaplex. In fact, there are a couple of scenes that only independent filmmakers have the guts to create and there are a few of those here. I like that this movie is filmed on location in Florida and not in some Hollywood backlot or in LA. This is an outstanding effort by a group of people who seem to like movies and know how to make a good production with a limited budget. I hope to see more from them. Andre the Butcher II would be something to look forward to. You won't be disappointed with this movie if you like your movies light, entertaining, fun, and sexy. For sure this is a better horror movie than 95% of the junk that ends up in theaters and is marketed as horror these days.

This is a bad movie, but is it so bad it is good? For me, it wasn't.This is an indie-style horror flick. But it's one of the 2005-era "horror comedies". So if you're looking for chills, you will be disappointed - there really were no scary moments.There's a lot that fails. Some of the acting is brutal. The story is full of holes. Some of the dialogue (a lot of it) is extremely poor. All of the scare moments and many of the funny moments fall flat.Despite that, I feel a little guilty to pan this film. There are some nice ideas, some of the actors turn in a good performance, the atmosphere in places is even well-done: at times it is dark, dreary and confined which is why it's a shame the scare moments fail.** spoilers ** Ron Jeremy is largely wasted as the killer. There are no in-jokes about him except the one deleted scene in the DVD.The idea of broadcasting the sins of the victims through the TV really worked for me. But Ron kills pretty much indiscriminately when he's not watching the TV, so that pearl of an idea was really wasted.Sigh. I could go on complaining, but I'm too disappointed. This was almost a camp classic, but I can't even recommend it as a cult movie. Frustrating!

I was given this wonderful film by a friend to watch and enjoy. The cover really made it look like another stupid horror movie. They are all the same. Thank God it wasn't. This was hilarious. The first five-minute scene (THREE POINTS!!!) is one of the funniest sequences I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. The ridiculous jokes, especially the name-calling (fartknocker), were truly hilarious. Watch this movie. And watch it without the expectations of being scared. Whenever you might get scared during this film, the director adds something like passing of gas to take away any suspense. This is a great, hilarious film starring Ron Jeremy, and should be watched and laughed at by any very mature audiences. Enjoy it for what it is.

First of all, this movie was meant to be a B-rated cheesy horror flick. You cannot take anything with Ron Jeremy in it too seriously anyhow (non-porno that is). I was expecting a serious, brutal gore-fest, but instead got a fun, gory, laughable movie. There's the usual blood, babes, and boobs and a hilarious old timer who helps narrate the tale. There is even a "fart" scene. Gee, what else could you ask for? The effects are decent for this type of flick and the acting isn't all that bad. Plus, there are a couple of hot looking chicks that aren't hard on the eyes. I just wish the DVD had more extras, like maybe a behind the scenes featurette or interviews with the actors and actresses. Anyhow, looking for a cheesy, fun, enjoyable late night movie? Check it out!
