How is it possible to screw up a movie involving girls in school uniforms and killings? Somehow the producers of the movie figured out a way. A van-load of high-school girls who appear to be in their mid 20s run out of gas on a desert road and a hockey mask wearing redneck tow-truck driver tows them and their van to his garage, where deaths and other strange things being to happen. One girl is killed in a car compactor, another has an air pump shoved down her throat causing her to explode, a guy gets it up the ass from a forklift(!) and it's unclear if the inbred, redneck tow-truck-driver is responsible. Since many of the nighttime scenes were obviously filmed through a dark blue filter, it is easy to understand why the killer's identity might be unclear, ... but the final twist is actually revealed in the film's trailer. Any attempts at actual horror were given away in the film's trailer (it reveals the deaths of several main characters, as well as giving away the entire twist ending!) If it was supposed to be a satire, lame double-entendres and obvious setups (guy with crutches, taking away the cellphones) sink this from the start. And film's soundtrack sounds like someone farting uncontrollably. It might be worth a few unintended laughs to watch this once, and to check out the so-so looking girls, but anything more is asking too much.
... View Morewell, i was tempted by this film as the cover promoted, in equal measures, chainsaws and schoolgirls. what a major disappointment followed such promise.this is either some sort of student film or one big "in-joke" that only a select few are in on, one of which i am not. the dreary plot, that of a bus breaking down in the middle of nowhere and the passengers being killed one by one, is as long in the tooth as the majority of the schoolgirls here.it gets a three as there are two rather witty deaths, ones that i have not seen in any other film franchise, but even then they are not as spectacular as they could have been.and the chainsaw on the cover that tempted me? it has a blade as long as a conventional pencil, and does not get used on anything or, more to the point for the intended market, anyone.people who harbour a desire to make films one day should watch this just to see how not to do it. everyone else should give it a miss.

View MoreLow budget horror there's different types but the main one is low budget (where the film could still pass for a real film)and then there's low-low budget which almost means no budget(where everything's just as crappy as the cheap as their home video look). But sometimes these films are some of the worst and should never be seen by anyone but also...sometimes there's also a fun treat. This is Scream Bloody Murder...god, this film is badly acted, badly shot, badly edited and stupid as hell but you know what...I actually liked it. I know it's weird but I found this flick fun as hell and had me watching amazed that was actually liking it. What I found most fun and really saved the flick was the script. I actually found it kinda of smart and funny and could easily tell what they were aiming for....cheap, funny horror that doesn't try to be anything that it isn't. So I liked how they actually went all out with that and made fun of themselves by being so beyond stupid that it worked. I found the script to be really smart for the most part but there were moments so stupid in the flick that I didn't know if they were actually written like that or just thought up on the day of shooting. First while most of the people in this film are bad actors there were a few surprises...first Brittany Montgomery as Parker was so great a being a bitch(i loved her) and I actually liked Gloria Balding as shay who okay as the dorky nerd. Then a couple of the other girls had some really good moments but for the most parts the girls did what they had to do thanks to bad directing. Everyone else was plain awful. But they all die so it's okay. Then some of these girls would have been so much more pleasing to eye for the camera if they would have had been made up a little. God, all the girls here look like they just walked off the street looking normal and plain. It's suppose to be a freaking movie, dress them girls up a bit yo!This movie would have been so much better and really have fit the script(without having to go all beyond stupid because of it's lack of money) with a bigger budget because the crappy look of the flick is what really kills it...besides it's bad acting and lack of nudity. Come on give us break, if your gonna make a really, and I mean really crappy movie with bad everything then at least show some nudity. It's the least they could do. For script that was made to be done on a low budget they could have at least done this once they found out how no budget this film was going to be. Acouple of boobs would have really made this film that much better. But this film wasn't a total waste, trust me after being burnt by other kind of these films(Scarecrow slayer) that just plain sucked this film was actually kinda good at being really awful.My Rating: It's kinda hard to say, this flick was really that good but good at being that if you know what I mean...and it didn't get me mad like Mr and Mrs Smith and Prom Night did which I hated a lot more than this flick. So I'm gonna have to give it a very happy A GOOD FLICK. If it would have had a budget that fit a creative script and some damn boobs then it would have gotten a better rating.
... View MoreOur "starlets" are all cuties in the extreme (Shay, whatta doll!), our plot is rather weak and transparent, our effects are rather on the cheesy side, but hey, a buncha incredibly cliched schoolgirls are on their way to the "big dance", their van breaks down, and mayhem ensues. Lotsa exploitive laughs, no real skin, some cheesy girl on girl action, and we have a halfbaked, but darn tootin' funny flick. Highlights include the actress playing Parker, who is far and away the best thing talent wise here, our hick rescuer who exudes some rather goofy charm in his bumbling, and our innocent Shay, who looks like an escapee from the Facts of Life, but is charming nonetheless. Our lowlights include badgirl Star, sluttygirl Honey, and the driver who you were rooting for to be an early victim. If you watch with your tongue firmly in cheek, you'll enjoy it, if you have high hopes of a great thriller, you're gonna be sooooo disappointed.
