The paradise Coconut Pete presides over, however, becomes a living hell when an unknown killer begins slaughtering the staff. As the body count increases, so too does suspicion among the survivors.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader A thick, rich slab of American cheese. As bad-taste comedies go, this is more clever than gross... Jun 29, 2022 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media This slasher/comedy isn't funny or entertaining. Rated: 1/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Even if it doesn't really succeed as a thriller or a comedy, the film isn't simply a hack-job either. Rated: C+ Sep 3, 2005 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal The Broken Lizard quintet follows its quintessential cult-comedy classic "Super Troopers" with something like "Ten Little Indians" interpreted by five big imbeciles - a slasher parody three "Screams" and three "Scary Movies" too late. Rated: 0/4 Sep 25, 2010 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Bullz-Eye.com Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 5, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Jay H This is my favorite Broken Lizard film. If you are a fan of '80s slashers, you will love this movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Melissa L Cheesy, but not too bad. If you're looking for a cheesy comedy-horror film, this is not too bad. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review S R Woefully underrated movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review jesse m One of my all time favorite movies. First time I watched this I thought it was absolutely terrible. Years later I realized it was absolutely perfect all the way through. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review Amy T This movie is a masterpiece; a perfect blend of campy 80's-style horror flick mixed with Broken Lizard's inside joke humor. This is a classic in my house and has been seen again and again, often singing the songs for days after. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/23 Full Review Jeremy B Oh yes, it's a very poor film, but it's shot well and chock full of tattoo-free dream girls. Also, Bill Paxton and a few other welcome side-characters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
