Cherry Falls (1999)
1/10
Worst Horror Film I have EVER seen
7 July 2005
Warning: Spoilers
I knew this film wouldn't be high art, but I was not prepared for an hour and a half of absolute rubbish.

From the outset it is blatantly obvious who the killer is, even though I was hoping (praying even) that it wouldn't be that person and there would be a clever twist somewhere. Needless to say I was wrong.

I look at actors and actresses like Michael Biehn and Brittany Murphy and it staggers me why they accepted to do films like this considering they are capable of so much more. Gabriel Mann who plays the dopey, horny boyfriend will probably have a career acting this type of role (the likeness to James Spader is incredible), but I doubt he will ever rise beyond it.

The concept of killing virgins and then a quest to lose their virginity was a good premise, but not developed here. When the background story of the killer is revealed it makes even less sense. Why would you avenge your mother's rape by killing innocent teen virgins who had absolutely nothing to do with it??

The fact is this type of film has been done before, and a lot better, so why bother?
