Six
sorority co-eds decide to throw a slumber
party on Spring Break at their resort by
a lake owned by Heather Kilbourne (Sarah
Minnic) in which her father Mr. Kilbourne
(John Schumski) allowed her to use the
place for their vacation in which they
have all sorts of fun including playing
volleyball or daring each other to go
skinny dipping in a dirty lake.
A bunch of guy's are drinking at a bar
and then decides to hang out there to
have fun with these co-ed's and party out
with them.
Yet what they don't know is that a
convicted killer Stanley Peterson
(Curtis Taylor) has escaped from prison
and seems to be killing these co-ed's one
by one but this killer could be anyone as
the head Sheriff Stanley Yates (Reggie
Bannister) and Deputy Michelle Hendricks
(Linnea Quigley) tries to find some
missing clues as to who killed all of
these people.
A film that tried
to carry on the T&A cheesy slasher
tradition like Slumber Party
Massacre or Sorority
House Massacre films but yet
that was alot more fun that this pile of
crap so let's take a look here and see
what I can comment on this which is very
little.
The beginning we see a film type of scene
which looks Grindhouse
tpye of material which is grainy like
taking place in the past which is 1997
and the scene's look cheesy showing some
people partying out and doing drugs and
then a killing starts with a pizza guy at
the door and then he enters and later on
is charged guilty.
Suddenly it's present day and we spot
some kids hanging out at a lake and
jumping in the water and I was thinking
that they certainly found a good location
for an independent film.
There's a moment with the head sheriff and deputy which looked too corny and not at all convincing at
the police station about certain
situations. Later on the
head sheriff goes to the place where all
the killings took place and then the
story is about to unravel by what has all
happened there. It seemed to leave the
film off to a nice start but then it goes
very badly in which the teens aren't
believeable partying out or playing
sports plus there's some scene's with two
police officers having sarcastic
discussions as well as getting aggressive
with one another which looked way too
slapstick and in a terrible way
especially on how the scene's were
written too. I wasn't impressed at all
and was bored stiff by watching all of
this.
It gets worst though as the guys hang out
at the bar and when you watch this it
doesn't look like they're having a good
time and it's all pretend as well as the
girls having a lesbian massage with one
another at their resort plus there's a
big guy next door who is supposedly a
creepy neighbor and the story even falls
flat there with the lines and how he came
across and I was about the puke it was
that terrible.
Then there are the girls daring to go
skinny dipping in a lake with dirty water
which I've seen much better than what is
happening here but yet there's a moment
with two guys slaughtered and one of them
doesn't realise this by trying to talk to
them which seemed pretty impressive but
then that falls flat too when he realises
they're dead.
There's a scene with the killers hands
grabbing the deputy and bashing her
head against a vehicle which was slow
paced and didn't look the least brutal
like it was supposed to be.
There's also moments with the girls at
their lodge playing cards or poker which
didn't seem believeably performed when
they are playing this.
But later on when the killer is revealed
it seemed a bit fun there when he
explains on what went on with everything.
This was the only good scene out of
everything as the killings were terribly
done and so was the plot.
Bottom line is this film is just as
clever as a really bad Troma Team type of
film and we all know how bad those one's
are and imagine the one's that were
really bad that you wouldn't want to
watch them. Everything about this film is
amateurish and easily forgettable.
The acting is
terrible as it looked like that most of
these performers have gruaduated out of a
porn academy. Not much to mention but I shall try.
Reggie Bannister (Sheriff Jacob
Yates) plays the lead role in it... yes
you heard right the lead role other than
in the Phantasm flick
and having minor roles in other films. He
was pretty wooden with his performance as
a head sheriff with an attitude which is
totally unconvincing. There's a scene with him having an attitude towards his fellow actress which was
extremely low on energy. It just seemed like
that he wasn't into his role at all but
there were odd moments he was passable by
investigating some murders but that's
about it folks.
Sarah Minnic (Heather Kilbourne)
played the female lead in the film as a
scream queen type of victim in the flick
in which she tried her best to portray
this character and also pushed to show
some energy but yet she seemed to fail in
order to do so. No points for her sadly.
Linnea Quigley (Deputy
Michelle Hendricks) had about 20 minutes
or so in her role and really was low on
energy when she tried to be sarcastic and
witty in her role but she was not
humoress at all. Plus she wasn't
convincing with her screams towards the
end of her performance which is sad. Hey
scream queen hey day in trashy low budget
ended years ago before she landed this
role and you can see why.
Bob Farster (Mr. Malone) was the
worst out of all the cast members in
which he portrays a suspect to the
killings in this film in which he draws
humor and intimidating moments which both
fell flat. There's an approach by him acting weird with an actress which lacked
greatly. He seriously couldn't act his
way out of a wet paper back and barely
had the intimidating looks too.
John Schumski (Mr. Kilbourne) was
proabably the best actor in this film as
he was stale like the others in the
beginning by acting way too over the top
at first but then he seemed to really get
into it when he acted crazy so he was not
bad there. Yet we spot a moment with him by acting
crazy towards the rest of the supporting
actresses who survived the massacre which
I was thinking to myself "This is
such a joke!" There is a good performance with him discussing about what had happened and
telling twisted secrets as to why he was
doing the things he's doing which had
some nice class.
Women are topless in a
resort massaging one another
Two women are naked taking a shower
together
Then many boob shots on them daring to go
skinny dipping
Throats are slit
Faces are sliced
A person is stabbed through with a
machette
The music is composed by Joseph
Butera III in which he does have
some odd good moments like the typical
banging sounds in which makes the scene's
effective when you're supposed to jump as
well as the odd screeching sounds too
with some chiming sounds and creepy tones
that was used in the Scary Tales
flicks. However, he has composed many
cheesy music effects too like the light
piano playing music and other types of
music too that doesn't seem to fit in. |
