Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Dom Nickson Spoiler Alert!!! OK the whole movie is about the most overused concept a group of friends are looking to get away and into the woods. Here they do drugs, fornicate, and are picked off one by one by a mask wearing serial killer. Literally this movie had something going for it by having the killer be wearing a Ronald Regan mask, targeting hippies, and leaving a trail of black jelly beans for Thomas Jane to find. I must say the kills are pretty lame when it comes to creativity like for instance David Arquette himself only gets his neck broken when he deserved worse, a bare naked male hippie gets gutted upside down, and an old guy gets decapitated. Like seriously it's pretty used up. The only interesting kills I would say is the opening scene where a kid stabs his own father in the throat with a chainsaw and Paul Ruebens death where he gets chainsawed in half, vertically. This movie really doesn't have any interesting characters and the only one I was rooting for was Thomas Jane. This movie isn't really anything new when it comes to the slasher genre and if you are interested in seeing hippies getting murdered by Ronald Regan, a completely naked male hippie, or Thomas Jane seeing black jelly beans I recommend it one watch. I give it a 4 out of 10.

evileyereviews David Arquette has created a carnival of drug hazed carnage in this fun little B horror whose political machinations are as subtle as a race riot. This flick unfairly gets a low rating cuz people just take their political intrigues too seriously, and while the republican right is portrayed in a rather severe light, the liberal hippies are depicted as retarded imbeciles almost deserving their punishment. The acting, especially for a B movie, was decidedly competent. Arquette's direction show that his career should rightfully be found in the director's chair. The story itself was funny, inventive, and wonderfully convoluted without being overdone; and that dialog... The camera was wonderfully dedicated to expressing the fog of a drug bender in the throes of a blood fest. Good clean fun this was, naked granola soaked in blood. Genruk'Evil Eye Reviews

idinomania OK so I've read a lot of these comments about how they think it's dumb that the characters are so revolved around they're drug use the whole movie or people just asking why that is.I have been to festivals and understand how and why the characters are acting like that. hippies go to festivals to mainly do a lot of drugs and watch amazing bands. At festivals most people talk about drugs a quite a bit of the time. They're excited and very pleased that they're going to be able to be free with they're drug use and not really worry about the law and people who define they're drug use as criminal or just wrong. So honestly that's what most of the conversation at festivals are about. I'm not saying that it's not messed up that even though they see murdered people that they're still partying. My friends and I that watched this movie together agreed that we would be trying to do something about it like Sam.I loved this movie. I thought it was hilarious and as far as behavior of the characters and the setting was pretty realistic. The blood was super super super fake, as well as all the gore. They probably should have explained things better, and had a little more sorta storyline on the killer. But overall I really enjoyed it. the whole concept was great!

thegreatbeast2000 That so many prominent actors would collude to produce this piece of crap saddens me. Sophomoric would be an aspiration for this film but The Tripper can't reach that bar. The crudity of the political impetus to this film is not just simplistic, it's severely retarded. To draw characters of such stunted stereotypicality is an insult to any prospective viewer. There isn't one role that isn't appallingly encumbered by the nature of their shallowness of type. The sheriff (Jane), while chasing the killer's father, comes across the lair of the psychopath , papered with newsclippings about Reagan, and is scared when the (venal, crooked and meddling) roughed up mayor steps out of the shadows blubbering. This causes the sheriff to not only lose his hat but drop on the floor the shotgun that had been his main weapon while in pursuit. Does he stoop to pick it up? No, and of course as soon as the sheriff helps the mayor out of the shack, the shotgun becomes an immediate need when dogs attack the mayor. Does the sheriff take out handgun on his hip to take care of the dogs? No, he runs like a scared rabbit. Courtney Cox, Paul Reubens, Jaime King, David Arquette, Thomas Jane, Lukas Haas and Balthezar Getty-- you'd think acouple of them would have called for a rewrite to the crapulous script,but again, no. What a terrible waste of money (because the production values are of a professional caliber). Better that the celluloid wasted on this film had been used to make guitar picks.
