A clue to the worth of this flick and the honesty of the initial reviewers is the universal praise given on the same day. I hope they got change back from the dollar they spent making this...attempt. I've seen better movies shot using an iPhone. If you have nothing better to do than to watch this, you're probably already in a coma waiting to die.

Plot-less Texas Stoner Mess-acre Scores Two, Maybe Three Good Lines
jfrentzen-942-20421128 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Three Texan stoner wastoids board a van emblazoned with a "420" decal, pick up two equally whacked out females roped in via social media and hit the road to attend a music festival. Naturally, they get lost along the way down a dirt road to nowhere. The first half of TEXAS DEATH TRIPPIN' is somewhat good-natured, with a cast that self-consciously scores hits and misses on a succession of sub-Cheech & Chong pot and sex jokes, alongside a few offbeat, cartoonish flashback segments that keeps things fairly lively.
Halfway through, though, the movie careens into darker territory with the introduction of a pair of mutant thrill killers that keep half-alive people tied up in a basement. Eventually, one of the killers that resembles a Yeti dressed in a black jumpsuit covered in oatmeal goes on a rampage ("I see a Sasquatch!") and ultimately collides violently with the stoners. This section plays like a low-bunk TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE slash FRIDAY THE 13TH rip-off with a bit of Rob Zombie's HOUSE ON 1000 CORPSES thrown in.
Though the cast gets loonier as the movie progresses, the humor fades in favor of really badly done gore effects. There are comical elements here and there, mostly carried by Cody Calderas' amusing portrayal as a smirking, sex obsessed stoner. Also mildly funny is one of the killers' prisoners who rather than cowers taunts his captors ("What the hell are you? You stink!"). Overall, though, the gross-out factor is high, with a particular emphasis on pee-pee, poo-poo and food, as in scenes of people simultaneously eating and regurgitating food and when one of the stoners rolls around in a torrent of canned ravioli mess. When the troglodyte killer began murdering random campers, we checked out for good.
Writer-director Robbie Perez distinguishes this jumble with a series of NATURAL BORN KILLERS-styled fast motion mosaics depicting a Texas countryside full of death and madness. Unlike the bulk of reviews presented here, the non-stop drone of routine countrified rock and electronica on the soundtrack was more oppressive than enlightening.

This is probably the dumbest, lamest, most inept and least inspired bit of film making I have ever seen. There are maybe two or three throwaway lines over the paltry running time (and even that's padded as all hell) that are nominally chuckle-worthy. And that's it. I forced myself to watch it to the bitter end, as if I had been dared to sit thru 92 minutes of the most puerile, incoherent nonsense I could possibly fine. The kids should love it.
If you think the poster's bad...

... it's a prize work of art compared to the movie!
Ignore the barrage of shills propping this steaming pile up with votes of 10; if you dare start watching, you'll be reaching for a fork to skewer your eyes within minutes.

Texas Death Trippin'

Just as there have been many awful films made on huge budgets, so too have there been many excellent ones made on tiny budgets. Sadly, this isn't one of them.It's difficult to understand why this piece of rubbish received so many 10/10 reviews until you realise they were written by recent sign-ups to IMDb, some of whom also reviewed "Singapore Social" while others didn't even review that.
What can be said about this bizarre offering of American youth? The poor man's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" combined with too many recreational drugs? One point for the soundtrack. Don't give up the day job, boys and girls.

Actually hits a nice mix for the most part. The main characters are stoners, so they will say some things that are off the wall. Somehow, even some of the most random moments fit into the context of what is happening.

If you like fun stoner horror this is for you!

A lot of hate from one reviewer that obviously is not For.Or they don't get the stoner and retro look,
its a great fun easy to watch film,quick creative and flows nice,
reminds me of a 80s movie or music video from the 90s,
the positive reviews on the same day is probably because that's the day it became available.
Why go out of your way to be rude or hate and bash instead of encouraging this kind of creative uniqueness in independent cinema....like have you not seen the horrible stuff they makes movies out of nowadays?
This has moxy.
The humble role, Good acting
