Trivia

"Hush" from the soundtrack (played fully over the end credits) is heard briefly on the radio of Barry's car. See more »

Goofs

When Julie and Helen are looking at David Egan's obituary, it mentions that he was 28 when he died. But when they go to see David's sister, she says that he was Class of '92 at the high school. So that would make him 23 when he graduated. See more »

Quotes

Julie: [after discovering the killer has removed Max's body from her trunk] No... don't... don't even! He was there, goddamn it, and he was wearing your jacket, Barry!

An average slasher flick featuring the superstars of high school
19 June 2005 | by See all my reviews

What can I say? The movies I can relate to & remind me of my youth have been horror movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Barry is the guy you want to be, Ray is the guy you feel like & the girls remind you of the prettiest girls from school.

Although this movie at times makes little sense something about it feels like magic to me. It could be the superstar cast, it could be the age I was when I first saw it, it could be Kevin Williamson's fairy dust (most likely it's all of these things).

Overall for *most* people this will be an average movie. There isn't much suspense or great death scenes which are key for a good horror movie. For people who are looking for a good teen slasher movie (and David Arquette running around) I suggest you check out the underrated Scream (1).
