well, i was tempted by this film as the cover promoted, in equal measures, chainsaws and schoolgirls. what a major disappointment followed such promise.
this is either some sort of student film or one big "in-joke" that only a select few are in on, one of which i am not. the dreary plot, that of a bus breaking down in the middle of nowhere and the passengers being killed one by one, is as long in the tooth as the majority of the schoolgirls here.
it gets a three as there are two rather witty deaths, ones that i have not seen in any other film franchise, but even then they are not as spectacular as they could have been.
and the chainsaw on the cover that tempted me? it has a blade as long as a conventional pencil, and does not get used on anything or, more to the point for the intended market, anyone.
people who harbour a desire to make films one day should watch this just to see how not to do it. everyone else should give it a miss.
