College kids go into the woods to research the legend of a long-missing local serial killer called Crinoline Head (he wears a skirt on his head, because why not?) and you know what happens next. If you’re looking for red meat, here it is. All we need now are some potatoes.
The big question: Is it watchable? Yes. This is an old-fashioned low-budget slash-’em-up with good simple make-up effects and that doesn’t take itself seriously. It gives us cute girls, dumb guys and creative kills. There’s a pretty good pinata-related death, along with a clever strangulation with another person’s intestines.
I could also give you details about the memorable part where the bitchy girl in the group goes out in the woods to pee and the killer is out there with his knife positioned in just the right place to give her the surprise of her life, but I don’t think I’ll say anything about that (please ignore this sentence).
The BEST reason to see this though is for B-movie great Debbie Rochon in a showcase role as a crazy older lady who lives in a trailer and isn’t shy about trying to get sex from the college hunks. Her hair is a mess, her costume is a rag, she puts on a ridiculous hick accent and her lines are 90% filthy talk and she still comes off like a star. This is Debbie’s movie, even when writer/director Tommy Faircloth gives a little too much attention to the relationship soap operas among the young idiots.
