A group of gullible teens head down to a lake where the townspeople kill to take their victim's cars and a little off the top.
This fun little ditty of a crapfest, filmed in Grapevine Texas, where I was just a week ago for Texas Frightmare Weekend. Anyway, it starts out with a couple of big boobed teen girls going to a lake to suntan, under a group of trees mind you. They take their tops off to tan then are almost immediately grabbed off their towels, killed, and dragged off.
Next were introduced to the large group of spring breaking teens that are heading to the same lake that the dead boobed bodies lie. Now after saving the life of a little girl her mother warns the kids not to go to the lake, but do they listen? Hell no they don't! So they head off to the lake, and I can swear I've been to that lake, and all hell breaks loose as the teens are kidnapped and sent to a factory where the bodies are harvested and turned into...well, let's save that for the end. Apparently the idea for the town is kill the teens and take their cars, selling the parts to keep the town up and running, or something along those lines. Anyway, the last few remaining teens that survive try to escape, but as they find out it's not half as easy as it seems.
 
Now this movie really disappoints me, honestly I didn't think that, being from North Texas, that it'd be great but this movie really puts the stereotype back into slasher rip-offs. The acting is pretty bad and the FX are cheesy, in fact you can see the blood rig on the knife they use to slit a girl's throat, and sadly she's the best part of the movie, you know, eye candy. This is definitely not a serious slasher and I'm sad to say that it's from my region of the world.
You know you figure sometimes that you'll give a movie a chance based on the fact that a lot of people praise the movie, then you come to find that they only did it to get on the cover once it's distributed. As for me, the only words I have to say is "Don't Bother!"
