Advantages: A Parody Lovers Playground

Disadvantages: Not meant to be taken seriously and never will be.

If you are a fanatical follower of parodies then you will love this American Movie. If you don?t, then I wouldn?t bother going to watch it at all.

The Plot - 6 high school kids recall what they did last summer, and then spend the rest of the movie getting followed about and murdered by a comical ghoul type character. Along the way Parodies from almost every teen horror movie are acted out including Scream, I know what you did last summer, the Matrix, The Blair Witch Project and the Sixth Sense.

This movie is not meant to be taken seriously and has to be aimed at late and even early teens, even though it has a well deserved 18 certificate.
The film tries to be ?tongue in cheek? at all times and sometimes I did actually find my self laughing but on the whole the acting and the plot could easily be reproduced by any Drama department in any secondary school.

For the politically correct amongst us there is a lot to be upset about, from the gratuitous violence to the blatant sexual and racial stereotypes.
For me there was nothing special about this film and will become instantly forgettable amongst the drivel that can be churned out of Americas Teen Movie Conveyor Belt.
