About this product

Product Information

A bunch of hippies descend on a small woodsy town for a concert, little realising the terror that awaits them: an axe-wielding, Ronald Reagan-masked lunatic, waging a one-man war against drugs. The sheriff (Thomas Jane) tries to control the madness but a corrupt mayor and a greedy promoter (Paul Reubens) insist the free-love festival must go on no matter how high the body count. It's a scrappy little low-budget horror indie given some star clout thanks to David Arquette (the sheriff in the SCREAM films) in his directorial debut. Jason Mewes (aka Jay of Jay And Silent Bob fame) is one of the more acid-happy hippies. Lukas Haas plays a doe-eyed folk-singer type who tries to stay relatively sober since his uptight new girlfriend (Jaime King) is already recovering from some previous trauma. The music is punchy (Fishbone play at the concert) and the dialogue spot-on. There are also some nifty psychedelic special effects and, of course, plenty of gore for those inclined. Arquette makes fine use of the gorgeous old-growth forests of Northern California, and gets the drug culture references just right. Free blunt wrappers and Reagan stickers were handed out to patrons during the film's theatrical run, linking this to the old gimmick films of William Castle, crossed with a dash of Cheech And Chong. You may never look at Reagan the same way again, but for those in the proper mood, this will make a perfect 4:20AM cult horror-druggie-comedy film to revisit time and again.
