    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When asked about this movie, Renée Zellweger said, "It was dangerous. I don't know if any of it was legal. It was a great workout. Running from a guy with a live chainsaw is excellent motivation. It was a lot of fun. It was my first role, really. I couldn't believe that somebody was going to trust me with that, that somebody was going to take this chance (on me). I was really grateful. I have no shame about that (movie)."
    • Goofs
      When Vilmer sets the woman on fire, the flame disappears then reappears between shots.
    • Quotes

      Darla: See, he put this thing in my head, and all he has to do is push one little button, and *pwoooh*!

      [sound of an explosion]

      Jenny: * pwoooh*?

      Darla: *pwoooh*! Blow my head clean off.

      Jenny: [laughing] There is nothing in your head!

      W.E.: Girl, you just said a mouthful.

    • Crazy credits
      In the end credits, the "Patient on Gurney" actress was credited as ANONYMOUS.
    • Alternate versions
      The Finnish video version excludes numerous scenes including violence. Cut by more than 15 minutes.

    People have misunderstood this mindbending film.
    After first seeing this movie, my actions were warped toward the nonsensical for days. I have since seen it five or six times, and personally, consider it a fantastic film. It is primarily a spoof on the slasher movie formula, with a very esoteric twist added on. It follows a group of high-schoolers on their prom night, who, in the heat of an argument, take off in a car, and mysteriously become lost within minutes. Soon enough, they encounter Velmer, armed in his Illuminati Wrecking truck,(which should, for perceptive viewers,[which obviously does not include the impatient idiots who have reviewed this movie on this same board] illustrate some of the wierd events to come) whose job it is to cause these teenagers to experience absolute terror, with the hopes (of his Illuminati boss, who possesses archemedean-spiraled stomach nipples)that they will have spiritual experiences (or at least, that those who survive will!). Velmer does this with the help of his family, which includes his cocky but controlled girlfriend, his older brother, now emasculated (the former Leatherface), and someone whose relation to Velmer I can't figure out, as whose name, I'm pretty sure, is Dubayee (personally, I think that Dubayee is my favorite character). Expect events to transpire which will leave you wondering for weeks if not months, and, for earnest viewers, a serious search including multiple viewings, trying to ascertain just what this movie is trying to say. Good luck, happy viewing, and congradulations on refraining from quickly passing this, or any, movie off before you make a careful analysis of it (which, again, the aforementioned previous reviewers have failed to be). Peace. -Lih
