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.
