    This movie isn't even OK. It's far from OK! Everything about it just disgusts me when it comes to horror.

    The murderer has some kind of skirt on his head as mask (which is laughable)

    Some murder scenes is TERRIBLE. One murder scene he drives over a girl sleeping on the ground and when u see him driving the girl isn't even there which is a disaster.

    Everything about this movie is completely god awful so yes my vote has to be 1/10. I've seen almost every horror movie out there and i will never recommend this one.

    Don't watch it.

    OK film about teens who go off for a little vacation and get offed one by one by a mysterious person. The acting is not bad actually but the very end almost goes out of control. Has a few funny one liners.

    The debut film from Indie filmmaker and friend Tommy Faircloth has many good things going for it... Once you realize that this film was intended as a parody and not to be taken too seriously, it really is a hell of a fun ride.

    The basis of this film is somewhat cliché as a group of friends go to a secluded cabin with a somewhat dark past (unbeknowst to them) for a weekend of fun, until the killer shows up.

    This is where the cliché ends: Our Killer isn't ordinary, he wears a crinoline doll like material over his head (which you'll find out why if you watch this film), the creative and inventive death scenes that range from death by: Ascot to Feces are ones to behold. Some of the most colourful characters (some are quite annoying and get well what's coming to them), and a drunk drag queen who is hooking in the boonies (a scene too funny to miss).

    Having said that, this film was shot on 16mm and has a great VHS style look to it, not to mention a great audio track that rivals most indie films that are out there today IMO. For a directorial debut this film has everything, One hell of a kick ass punk soundtrack from Liquid Meat Records, colorful characters, great deaths, adding from what I mentioned earlier; Interesting and funny one liners, great origin story for our killer, and a great twist ending!!

    I love this film just as much as I do its counterpart - Dorchester's Revenge (which I plan on reviewing next).

    If you have a chance to check this independent film out do so!!

    I miss the 80s! LOVE this movie and the sequel "Dollface". I recommend this and it totally reminds me of Sleepaway Camp. Also with the gay undertones. haha! So it's a typical slasher film, with these idiot kids going to a lake house...right? But it's a paraody but a not like a Waynans brothers type of parody..but more subtle. There is this butch lesbian that looks like Annette Funacello, seriously. A rich guy, a sweet girl, and crazy sorority girl, and a pledge who is like so mean for no reason...lol. The kills are what is really funny. Totally creative and not like you have seen. You will appreciate this film if you appreciate movies like "Pink Flamingos".

    This B-rated horror movie has some pretty funny death scenes (one involving a stalk of celery and one involving a toilet bowl), but for the most part this film is virtually unwatchable. It's supposed to be a spoof on the genre, but it fails with bad acting (for the most part ... the guy who plays the lead, Derrick, is pretty good, actually) and a ridiculous made-up language (you can't understand a word of what two of the characters say). The quality is very low rent (but appears to have been shot on 16mm at least), but I'm sure it was filmed on a shoestring by an aspiring filmmaker trying to get his break.

    Only good if you want to fast forward to the death scenes.
