Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

In the small town of Cherry Falls, someone is killing virgins. The sheriff's daughter (and virgin) Jody, discovers a dark secret in the town's history: meanwhile the high school students organise a party intended to be full of rampant sex in order to get rid of all the remaining virginity in the town.This film takes the tried and tested teenage slasher formula and tweaks it with some clever and knowing touches, not least of which is the town's name (a real town in West Virginia, by the way.The sex and violence, integral to the story (and of course to the horror sub-genre which this movie is deconstructing) are almost entirely missing due, I understand, to the studio going for a more anodyne edit in order to get a more charitable censorship rating.Brittany Murphy is great - what a loss - and Jay Mohr has as much fun as the audience, if not mo(h)re.

I only wanted to watch this, because of Michael Biehn, who is one of my all time favorite actors. But even the guy from The Terminator, Aliens and Tombstone, can't save this crap.Besides from a pretty dumb plot with at twist that involves Biehns character, it has plot holes and really bad special effects, that can't be forgiven.Plothole number 1: how can the killer possibly know for sure, which of his victims are virgins? 2: The sheriff (Biehn) drives to the house, where a woman he and three other boys raped 27 years earlier, lives. How did he know where she lives? 3: Then the killer, who is not the woman they raped, but her son disguised as his mother, not only makes it back to the town, before the sheriff. But he has also had time to kill the principal at the high school, which was one of the other rapists. How is that possible? 4: Why would the son avenging the rape of his mother and himself being beaten by his mother, by killing innocent high school kids? Why didn't he just go after the rapists right away? 5: Four men raped the woman, two of them conveniently moved away. If the killer went through all of that trouble, why didn't he track down and kill the remaining two rapists? Had the movie not been a teen slasher flick but an adult thriller about the 4 rapists and the killer, this might have been a decent film.Michael Biehn is pretty much wasted here, considering how awesome he has been in other movies.As far as the bad effects go: when the killer attacks the sheriffs daughter (the late Brittany Murphy) she throws him out of a window on to a balcony. hard enough to hurl him over a fence, that magically disappears so he can fall over the edge, only to reappear in the next shot. Then he falls down on a broken fence, that is literally painted on to the film, because it wasn't there when they shot the scene. The dumb teenage kids, who were having a sex orgy in the house stares in horror. One of them has a chopped off hand on top of his head and never notices it.That pretty much sums up how bad this movie is.Don't watch this unless you're as brain dead a teen, as the kids in this movie. Then you might actually enjoy this.

This movie is nothing but excellence. I actually enjoyed it and would recommend this movie to a friend. The only thing that I don't really like about this movie is that it doesn't have enough chase scenes. Although the movie doesn't have many epic chase scenes, every second of the movie is crawling with suspense. The setting is in the quiet, small town of Cherry Falls. A series of murders begin to become common with teenage virgins. Likewise, all the teenagers have a party where they all plan to lose their virginity to take themselves off the endangered spices list. Mayhem breaks out and the police forces of the town are left clueless. Jody, the sheriff's daughter, helps solves the mystery. Throughout the film deadly secrets are revealed leaving you wanting more. Will the town's teenagers survive?

In the small town of Cherry Falls a masked murderer is killing off the virgins of the local high school.The cast was decent if not quite A-list: Jay Mohr as a teacher, a post-Clueless Brittany Murphy as the female lead (and sheriff's daughter), and genre favorite Michael Biehn.AllMovie gave it a favorable review, writing, "Of all the teen slasher flicks that premiered after the wildly successful Scream series (Urban Legend, etc.), Cherry Falls will possibly go down as one of the most creative, but sadly unseen ones in the bunch." Although reviews were generally mixed or negative, Entertainment Weekly gave a shockingly positive one (grading the film as A-). They have labeled the picture "the wittiest, most subversive teen thriller since 'Heathers'." While I am not a fan of "Heathers", this is still high praise.I probably would have expected more from "Romper Stomper" director Geoffrey Wright, but I guess it is a different territory. The concept was good, and they more or less succeeded in carrying a one-joke film all the way through...
