Anyone else seen this flick? It's the directorial debut of David Arquette and produced by his wife Courtney Cox (who also has a cameo). It is a rather bizarre slasher movie about a bunch of teen druggies who go out into the wilderness for a hippie 'lovefest' and wind up being stalked by a serial killer who dresses up as Ronald Reagan (and has an obsession with said president). Tonally, it reminded me abit of Severence and the cast includes the likes of Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman, Mystery Men), Balthazar Getty (Feast), Jaime King (Sin City), Jason Mewes (best known as Jay of the Clerks series), and the always awesome Thomas Jane (Punisher, The Mist).

I almost picked this up not so long ago. I'll probably get around to it sooner or later as it does look like a bit of a laugh:)

I was able to attend the red carpet premier of this in Chicago and I thought it was wonderful. It's got comedy, commentary, nudity, drugs and crazy slasher action with tons of gore. This is definitely one of the better slasher films I've seen hit the genre in years. Course, I haven't seen Zombie's Halloween so I suppose that could change but it's a cool flick anyhow. I'll be purchasing this when I get the opportunity.

I missed the screening. I do have a copy. I just have to wait for the wife to go out some night so I can view it in peace. Democrats....

She'll probably appreciate the man-eating hog named G.W. Bush in this flick.

I rented this film a couple of weeks ago and for the most part I did enjoy. I pretty much guessed right away who the killer was in the Reagan mask but it still was a cool flick that I will buy on dvd to add to my collection.

It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be, especially Courtney Cox's short cameo:lol:

I finally had a chance to watch this. What can I say? I loved it. Who can beat a killer butchering hippies and rednecks? The only thing that could have made it better would have been a killer butchering hippies, rednecks, and gangstas.

I missed her.. or did I?

rented it from netflix.. it was ok. I was expecting alot more in terms of laughs and more gore. the story just skated along at a bland level most of the time to me. Jason Mewes was great as well as Paul Reubens "f you... f you.. f you"
