A small-town sheriff, Brent Marken (Michael Biehn), discovers the presence of a serial killer in his sleepy hamlet. Since the perpetrator has been targeting only virgins, both male and female, the deaths cause panic in much of the local high school population. Sheriff Marken's daughter, Jody (Brittany Murphy), is among the potential victims, since she has yet to sleep with her boyfriend, Kenny Ascott (Gabriel Mann). Can the lawman stop the killer before he goes after Jody?

Mohr is as fun as ever, and Biehn hogs the standout scene with fantastically bad, tongue-in-cheek gravitas.

It becomes a balance between gory and very silly.

The film is audacious and thought provoking even in its sterilized state.

Nashville Scene

Tragically eviscerated by the MPAA in a bloodletting that shames any of this underseen slashers extant kills, 2000s Cherry Falls has one of the best horror-movie hooks cinema has ever given us.

Horror Queers Podcast

Though marred by edits made to satisfy a post-Columbine world, Cherry Falls still manage to be one of the more effective (and funny) post-Scream slashers.

Rated: 3.5/5

Just as the movie opened with intentional scares, it certainly ends with unintentional laughs.

Half decent slasher movie with a phenomenal leading turn from the massively underrated Brittany Murphy. Gabriel Mann makes for a fine leading man, too.

I saw this movie several times on TV as a kid and always liked it, it has a great small town fall aesthetic. It's definitely dated and a good time capsule into the 90's, so great for nostalgia. Watching it as an adult now it's a lot more silly than I remember as a kid, I enjoyed it again and it kept my attention but some of the acting is cheesy and almost reminds me of "the room" but it gives me laughs and does keep me guessing; so if you take it for what it is as a "black comedy" then I think it works. But would probably be better if we ever got the "uncut" version.

Even though it has some choppy editing this is an entertaining and underrated slasher with a great cast

This movie is built around teenage orgy, and they wanted a horror movie so they made a slasher with virgin killing maniac. Not worthy unless you are sailing the high seas and have nothing better to do.

This is not the worst but also not the best. It is a middling horror movie. I was disappointed with the lack of gory killing but the implied violence is pretty cool. The twist was interesting the first time but once remembered it becomes a bit stupid. The idea of having sex to stay alive is a good one and the teen orgy was genius but still handled in a generic manner. Worth a watch for horror fans.
