More dumb bitches get chopped into pieces in this trashy yet relatively entertaining slasher about a group of strippers faced with a crazed psychopath. If you’re bored and want to see a bunch of stupid sluts take off their clothes and get turned into mincemeat, then you’ve come to the right place. If not, this might not be the right review blog for you.
After humiliating a bar owner, a group of feisty entertainers decide to park their big fat butts on a campground for the night with the intention of exposing them in front of drunk patrons. Fine in my book, because a girl’s gotta make a living. If there was anything more to the story for a synopsis then apologies: it was genuinely difficult maintaining enough interest to pay attention.
Though mostly a tedious ramble into familiar territory, and seriously lacking in any substantial material, the jumpscares are alright and the gore isn’t too bad. Some of the kill scenes are pretty gruesome and violent; thankfully there’s no tacky special effects, with the direction relying on props, costumes and makeup. This was a good choice as they’re done convincingly well a by crew clearly experienced with the job.
Its main selling point for sure is the surprisingly decent performances and fun personalities from the unashamed bimbos as they fight for survival against their merciless axe murderer. Refreshingly, they actually have a sense of comedy and aren’t afraid to not take themselves seriously instead of being the stone cold props which most slashers seem to produce, and put up an excellent show of screaming and squirming for their lives against the brutal antagonist.
This is probably the weakest point of the flick. Weakened by a lack of clarity as to what he actually is, other than an undeveloped and generic homicidal maniac who appears to slaughter without discrimination and collect human heads, his idea or reason to exist is barely discussed or explored at all. There’s also the question how someone which is constantly growling and attacking people with the ambition of decapitating them is walking around freely in society. Yeah… not normal.
By the end the whole thing has lost the plot and has collapsed into disappointing meaninglessness. Usually spoilers are against the rules in these writeups but this one is an exception, because the bullshit decision to kill off everyone was completely self-destructive and unnecessary; with the strongest appeal of the flick being the characters themselves and their down-to-earth personalities, something more memorable could have been salvaged or accomplished from the mayhem.
3/10
