Cast: Lukas Haas, Balthazar Getty, Jaime King, Courteney Cox, Paul Reubens, David Arquette, Thomas Jane, Jason Mewes, Rick Overton, Richmond Arquette, Brad Hunt, Paz de la Huerta, Marsha Thomason
This attack on the morally righteous right-wing political establishment involves a group of hippie friends attending an annual music festival in the woods. This time, the festival turns into a scene of terror when a psycho killer–who, as a boy, was traumatized by hippies in the same woods being used for the festival. The killer wears a Ronald Reagan mask, brandishes an ax, and chops up the hippies, which, needless to say, accounts for plenty of blood and gore in this film.
