Dom Nickson Spoiler Alert!!! OK the whole movie is about the most overused concept a group of friends are looking to get away and into the woods. Here they do drugs, fornicate, and are picked off one by one by a mask wearing serial killer. Literally this movie had something going for it by having the killer be wearing a Ronald Regan mask, targeting hippies, and leaving a trail of black jelly beans for Thomas Jane to find. I must say the kills are pretty lame when it comes to creativity like for instance David Arquette himself only gets his neck broken when he deserved worse, a bare naked male hippie gets gutted upside down, and an old guy gets decapitated. Like seriously it's pretty used up. The only interesting kills I would say is the opening scene where a kid stabs his own father in the throat with a chainsaw and Paul Ruebens death where he gets chainsawed in half, vertically. This movie really doesn't have any interesting characters and the only one I was rooting for was Thomas Jane. This movie isn't really anything new when it comes to the slasher genre and if you are interested in seeing hippies getting murdered by Ronald Regan, a completely naked male hippie, or Thomas Jane seeing black jelly beans I recommend it one watch. I give it a 4 out of 10.

Tss5078 From the twisted mind of David Arquette, come the Tripper, a Horror film, that he promised would change the way we see Horror. There's no doubt that Arquette set big expectations for this film, unfortunately the Tripper fell well short of achieving it's goals. A group of hippies take a road trip to this weekend music festival, in the woods of Northern California. The locals don't want them there and pretty soon, the party goers wind up being hunted, by an ax wielding man, who is convinced he's Ronald Reagan. The cast of friends that Arquette put together for this film is impressive, and there were some terrific cameos from the likes of Jason Mewes, Courtney Cox, and Pee Wee Herman, but ultimately they didn't do much to help this film. There are some funny scenes and some great lines, aside from that, this film is nothing different from your traditional, mediocre, slasher film. The one stand out was Thomas Jane who was thrilling as the Sheriff, but the scenes that didn't feature Jane were predictable and honestly kind of dull. The setting was different, the killer was certainly a nice change of pace, and the cast was top notch, but the movie itself was nothing you haven't seen a million times and I was left feeling less than impressed.

Dominic Harrison Don't expect a great film, or even a good one; rip-offs galore and plenty of nonsense cut-away/scenes. But Ronald Reagen is a huge saving grace for this beermat script. If it weren't for the weird insert of this serial killer I think I would've been pretty saddened at having lost time on it. But as it is those Reagen moments are pretty funny and strange enough to sit and wait for more.If like me you have to watch this on the TV because nothing else is on and so you're stuck with it then why not, don't bother making any effort to see it though and don't blame me if you do, you were warned.And just for the sake of the "10 line rule" :p

pain93 Well, if comedy/horror is your thing, than David Arquette's 'The Tripper' may be for you. Part satire and tribute to 80's slasher films and part political satire, I can't say I did not enjoy this flick. It's goofy, but gory, and maybe a little stupid, but it's a fun ride! There is some nudity, some gore and laughs! The plot is simple-Hippie kids to a rock fest, do drugs and then are killed by a wacko in a Ronald Regan maskThe acting is so-so and some of the time is feels a little sloppy BUT that didn't stop it from being a hoot!If you like slashers, with comedy thrown in, this is a good choice. Though nothing original, it gets a 6/10 from me
