Late one night, a young couple are brutally murdered at a make-out spot by an unseen assailant, their bodies tossed into the nearby river. As the lifeless lovers drift slowly downstream, the residents of the town excitedly prepare themselves for their annual carnival, unaware that a machete-wielding maniac with a twisted grudge is lurking in their midst. When a group of teen revellers plan a late-night after party down in the local cemetery, they unwittingly set the stage for a bloodbath.

With wierdly compelling dialogue, but no scary scenes at all until the last 10 minutes. To little to late. The music is more 70s cop show than slasher, probably one of the reasons it doesn't work

I didn’t know it was possible to make a boring slasher but this is so dull. It doesn’t even have the charm that most 80s slashers have. Not even the incredibly exciting score could save this.

honestly it’s your average slasher film but throughout the film i kept thinking why in the hell the lighting was so bad like the film was so dark it had you thinking what the hell was going on most of the time also none of the characters were really interesting at all and the kills were all really boring and the killers motive was very stupid in my opinion he was trying to rid the world of sluts like this whole movie was dumb i only watched because i thought the poster was cool and thought it was gonna be a fun slasher but was i wrong

Holy smokes this treads water with mildly amusing townie business and a full (FULL) day at the carnival. We're talking repeated shots, going back to the well on unfunny bits, the works. The opening is baffling - I think I get what happened but not 100% sure. The second kill is slightly less baffling but weird. It only occasionally works but the kills are pretty weak. I will be confusing this with like 8 other slashers from here on out.
