Cherry Falls
copyright 2000
Cherry Falls held the record for most disgusting double entendre title for a mainstream film until Freddy Got Fingered came out last year.

You see, it's a film about a killer who targets virgins, and it also takes place in a town called Cherry Falls!  It's Irony 101, folks!

It's a horror comedy, that isn't really scary or funny.  Maybe I've seen too many slasher movies, but some dude running around in drag killing kids isn't all that scary, especially when it was blatantly obvious who the killer was.  Anyway, the kids decide to hold an orgy to put an end to the killings.

Things I will give the movie credit for:
-Casting Jay Mohr as the sensitive professor.  He's one of the funniest actors out there.
-A couple of mildly amusing sex jokes.
-Some of the actors looked like real teenagers.
-The ending when the killer shows up at the orgy is hilariously cheesy.  Imagine about 100 half naked teenagers simultaneously trying to run down one flight of stairs.  You gotta love it.

Things that pissed me off:
-The Killer was obvious.
-How did he know who was a virgin?  People don't exactly go around advertising things like that.
-It wasn't scary.  There has to be some suspense or the movie just becomes tedious.
-Brittany Murphy does pretty well until the scene where she is in her boyfriend's room.  She's turns into freakin' Angelina Jolie, looking like a heroin addict and shoving her feet in the poor bastard's face. 
-The Killer's wig always covering his face.  It was just ridiculous that he could run down halls, fight someone and get hit with shit from across the room without the wig ever moving.  Then, when he reveals who he is at the end and goes on the rampage, the wig is never in his face.  I know it's a nitpicky little bullshit thing, but you'll bitch about it when you see it.

Anyway, the movie was mildly entertaining, but ultimately not worth watching over any other generic slasher film.
