Best movie of this year hands down!

To me, this movie is perfection.

So much average

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Were this made in the 80's during the height of the slasher craze it might have been considered mediocre; 30 years later we've had Scream, Scary Movie, Jason and Pinhead have both gone in space and if you're going to make a slasher you better bring something fresh or else wallow in the genre but Girls Gone Dead never rises beyond wannabe. The best parts are the opening scene which is somewhat tense, intriguing and full of nudity; and the credits which show outtakes. Everything between is simply someone's lazy excuse to get a lot of women in bikinis (or less) with a pitiful protagonist who randomly kills people for Sin! The blood and gore make up is passable, at times even gross, and the girls are fairly attractive though no show stoppers. The story attempts some pathetic humor, one girl's dad lets her have a beach house for Spring Break but the ditsy girls (eventually) realize it is part of a retirement community and there isn't much partying that doesn't involve Karaoke or shuffleboard. A group of dorky hunks on their way to Daytona Beach stop at the local watering hole and decide to set aside their Spring Break plans to party with the girls. Even though they are apparently only miles away from Daytona beach it never occurs to any of them to simply drive there and join the fun. The rest is too pointless to describe but suffice to say a masked monk shows up to slaughter sinners for The Lord. Girls Gone Dead is a very, very, long hour and half that is better spent stabbing yourself with a fork. Oh, and there are quite a few Saved By The Bell references for fans of that show.

Going to a small, isolated house for spring break, a group of cheerleaders trying to have a girls-only weekend find their activities halted when a masked madman arrives looking for retribution against the girls for their perceived promiscuity and forcing them to fight him off to survive.This here turned out to be quite an enjoyable and entertaining effort that has a lot going for it. One of the biggest pluses is the fact that, as a slasher comedy with comedic touches, it would've been painfully obvious to try to make the killer a rather weak and almost joke-like individual. This really could've been a hammy one-liner spouting joke for the most part, but that's thankfully avoided here with the killer being kept to a threatening role and only appearing to dole out a quick death or initiate a chase, and with the striking mask and choice of weaponry used it creates some powerful images at times in terms of being an imposing figure. Coupled with the nice reasoning that they give here for why they're engaging in such a killing spree all gives this quite an impressive killer. That leads into the film's best aspect, the high amount of slasher action featured here. The adult video shoot massacre is great with all the flailing body parts featured in the rampage, containing the slaughter of the video crew and several of the models, several of the briefer inserts of the killer striking some of the outer members of the group in remote locations. The last half is also rather interesting with the killer striking them throughout the darkened house as the gradual rise in dead bodies found in the different rooms is quite well-done offering up some nice atmospheric touches and the confrontations start getting more and more intense, revealing some nice twists with the revelation about the killer's identity alongside the fine chasing and making this quite enjoyable. Alongside with all the nudity and gore featured it makes for an attractive addition to the movie. The main problem with this one, though, is a common feature in many of these hybrids, where the comedy here is just lame and not that funny. Ranging from jokes about religion to overweight individuals and how drunk they are, it's quite lame and tiresome to see these lame styles of jokes repeated over and over in these types of films so their use here is completely aggravating. As well, it tends to run a tad too long with several rather unnecessary subplots that serve just to add bodies to the fray, but overall it's not too bad regardless.Rated R: Continuous Nudity, Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, frequent alcohol use and mild sexual activity.

Hands up if you like hot women. And hands up if you enjoy excessive violence. If you haven't got both hands high in the air, then you've got the wrong film, because babes and blood is what Girls Gone Dead is all about. Although described as a comedy/horror, decent laughs and scares are in short supply, while T&A and gore fill almost every frame.The film sees six sexy girlfriends spending spring break together being targeted by a killer brandishing a massive warhammer (a cool weapon—part axe, part hammer). That's pretty much it as far as plot is concerned, at least until the unmasking of the maniac and we get a typical slasher explanation for their killing spree.During the course of the film we get lots of skin from some very curvaceous cuties (blonde lead Katie Peterson and brunette Brandy Whitford are smokin'!), oodles of cool blood and guts courtesy of Marcus Koch, and fun cameos from cult icons such as ex-pornstar Ron Jeremy, scream queen Linnea Quigley, and teeny-tiny bug-eyed Howard Stern regular Beetlejuice (who gets his head chopped off!).Obviously, it's all very puerile, but since when did a film have to be sophisticated to be fun?

GIRLS GONE DEAD is the campy follow-up to Michael Hoffman Jr's 2008 slasher flick/parody, SPRING BREAK MASSACRE. Originally intended as a sequel, the script was re-worked into what it is now - mostly a comedic effort at the slasher genre, with respectable homages to such films as the SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE series and even Brian DePalma's CARRIE. The plot is somewhat simple, with a group of college-aged girls going to party at a semi-remote location for Spring Break - only to be stalked and slashed by a masked maniac, brandishing a battle axe. All the while, a Girls Gone Wild-type shoot is going on nearby, and we are treated to some pretty humorous commercials along the way (featuring HOWARD STERN's Beetlejuice and porn star legend Ron Jeremy).Speaking of other notable cameos/appearances, The Queen of Scream herself, Linnea Quigley (THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS, and also in the previous SPRING BREAK MASSACRE), is hilarious as bartender Willie - where she uses a fake Aussie accent and performs Karaoke to a song, hysterically off-key. Shawn C. Phillips (aka "Coolduder" on his YouTube channel) even makes a small appearance as the token fat guy who picks up one of the girls while she has a severe case of "beer goggles." Professional wrestler Jerry Lawler also stars as Sheriff Jackson Cole and has his own moment of hilarity during the film's conclusion.As I mentioned above, the film is mostly a comedy - with horror elements thrown in for good measure. My favorite scene (and one of the more serious and tense moments) comes when all hell breaks loose towards the end of the film, and it definitely reminded me of the SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE series - of which, if anybody knows me, I am a huge fan of. The movie flows well, and the cinematography is surprisingly impressive for a low-budget film. I applaud the ambitious use of crane shots and the angles that were used, to achieve a pretty damn good-looking film - low-budget or not.If you are a fan of anything that USA UP ALL NIGHT played back in the '90s…anything that Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, Michelle Bauer, or any other countless scream queen appeared in…anything directed by Jim Wynorski, Fred Olen Ray, or David DeCoteau…or just an enjoy a good, campy time - GIRLS GONE DEAD delivers and more!
