Review of 2001 Maniacs (2005) by Cat B — 06 Aug 2008
The Title sequence immediately lets us know what we're in for: bloodstains, sharp, fast music, knife sound effects, and horror legend Robert Englund is the first name we see.
It takes place over Spring Break. We see the 3 guys driving away, which we see as they are leaving the comfort and safety of home. "Pleasant Valley" is the ironically named place where these three characters along with another 5, end up. It is unusually friendly, and the very odd sign displayed reads "guts and Glory jubilee". So we know where the events will take place. It also has the population 2001 displayed.....direct title reference.
There are some inventive murders, and the film overall is watchable, though it's one that I think would be most fun watched towards the end of the night with a few friends over.
