Bad film, based on true events..... Do not be seduced by any references to five cheerleaders seeking thrills during a weekend getaway. Simple acting followed by coarse thrills makes this film bad. The Director flashes forward and backward into time as well as into the psych minds of the actors. The movie truncates without closure. Do not seek thrills in this movie - you will not be rewarded.

This movie hooks us "B-Movie/Slasher/Soft Porn" types pretty good in the beginning. 5 (somewhat) hot (supposed) cheerleaders head out to the williwags very scantily clad for a weekend .......... But they prove very quickly why none of them have ever been in a film before, and why the director's never directed before, and probably why the cameramen have never worked in the industry before.... And then there's the ending!! Pa Hillbilly just shows up out of nowhere, never even been in the film until now. It pains me to say it, but I'm not sure they could have saved this one even if they'd lost the bathing suits....

The plot seemed like it could work (if they had decent actors). But the acting was extremely bad. Almost felt like I was watching one of those late night movies where everyone is having sex with each other (but it doesn't happen). The story line sounded a lot like Texas Chain Saw Massacre. There's a fine line between 'B movie' and a '(extremely) Low budget movie'. And I believe that they should have kept the $20 it took to make the movie in their pocket and I deserve a free rental for wasting a perfectly nice Saturday afternoon on this crap of a movie. "Oh gosh, Amber, help me. He's gonna kill us." Trust me after the first 10 minutes you'd wish you were the killer and be done with Amber yourself.

Not full of suspense and you've pretty much got this figured out ten minutes into the movie. Lame ending!

OK now while there are 5 girls that come off as something similar it is never really clear that they are cheerleaders. The first 2/3 of the film is spent watching them swim and party. This has an R rating but comes off like clothed p*rn! There is an occassional flashback of a demented older brother making the younger one kill a cat and play some awful how much do you love me game and than suggesting that the younger brother kill their father. You do see paintings, that appear to be made with blood, of what we can only assume are other victims. BUT lets make things very clear, there is no GHOST the killing brother is alive and well killing more people and evidently has a couple of sons. If this movie had delivered the plot the case claims it had, perhaps it would have been worth watching.

This movie is so retarded! The title has nothing to do with the story and the cover of the movie shouldn't even look like this, because nothing in the movie looks like it! Waste of time watching. After the first 30 seconds into the movie, I just fast forwarded it to the end and got done watching it in 7 minutes. What a terribly made movie with a bunch of horrible actors.

No exposition, the movie starts with several bimbo college babes who can't act, climbing in a jeep to drive to a house for a vacation. Lousy audio, lousy camera work, lousy lighting. 90% of the movie is them sitting around the pool, or living room, talking, clothed or in bikinis, or letting a local stud do shots of booze off their belly buttons. Maybe 2% of the movie is horror, if you can call it that. Lame. No acting skills. No nudity. No plot. No drama. No hero. Beyond bad. 2D characters (at the end of the movie you still know nothing about the characters, can not identify a hero let alone a need of any character to drive a plot). I want the 80 minutes of my life back that I wasted watching this movie based on the DVD cover which looked creepy and promised what never was delivered.

Not a good movie - I love horror movies, even bad ones. This barely, barely qualifies as a bad one. I really don't recommend that you waste your time as even the plot is mediocre.
