A crazed homage to 1960s and '70s drug and slasher exploitation flicks, The Tripper has "future cult movie" written all over it. A van full of neo-hippies (including Lukas Haas, Brick, Jason Mewes, Clerks, and Jaime King, Sin City) head into the California woods to attend a retro-60s rock concert (featuring the not-very-60s sounds of Fishbone)--only to find themselves harassed by backwoods rednecks and hunted by a Ronald-Reagan-infatuated serial killer. Along for the ride are a blunt but fair sheriff (Thomas Jane, The Punisher, sporting a seriously 70s 'stache), a jealous young Republican (Balthazar Getty, Lost Highway, and a venal music promoter (Paul Reubens, better known as Pee Wee Herman). The Tripper vacillates wildly between trippy visual effects and spewing gore, reflecting writer/director David Arquette's clear appreciation of such lurid b-movies as The Trip, Psych-Out, Deranged, and Three on a Meathook. Thrown into the mix is political lampoonery far too broad and scattershot to be called 'satire,' but it's clear that Arquette (better known as an actor, Eight Legged Freaks) has no particular agenda--he's just making fun of everything he can think of, and the results are preposterous, gruesome, and sure to hit the sweet spot for a certain brand of cineaste. You know who you are; check this out. --Bret Fetzer

Hey, I was a fan of Ronald Reagan personally...and I thought this was HILARIOUS! Of course it's a horror film, but it's also absolutely a comedy. Everything about it, for what it is, is perfect. I can't believe this was David Arquette's first movie (as director). I think he will be huge. And Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) as the slimy Frank Baker (organizer of American Free Love Festival) is just too funny, a gut buster, especially at the end when he's covered head-to-toe in s--t.

A group of hippies attending a modern day Woodstock-esque music festival find themselves being picked off one by one by a killer wearing a Ronald Reagan mask.
The idea behind this film, that of a conservative "President" killing drug-taking hippies, is a good (albeit warped) one, and thus it should have been a good film, but unfortunately, "The Tripper" falls down in its execution (no pun intended). It takes far too long for the killings to really get started - the first half of the ... Read More

This film is appalling. Not in the way 'so bad it's good', but so bad it's very bad. It has nothing to offer, apart from wasting an hour and a half of your life. I got this film for free, and I still feel conned. It's not scary, or gripping, or gory, or interesting. It's badly directed by a bad actor. You will be hard pushed to get past 15 minutes of this fodder without wanting to turn it off, but you keep watching thinking it has to get better, which it doesn't.
Even if you're a fan of old ... Read More

There's no need to beat around the Bush. This movie sucks. It gets lost in a haze of decent horror, poorly done dark humor, and atrocious inserts of political history.
It's nearly inconceivable how someone could mess up the simple horror formula that has been reproduced a hundred times: scary killer, a little mystery, lots of topless women, tons of fodder, a few sex scenes, maybe some drugs, and a pointless ending. It's a nearly flawless concept. It's too bad the movie is too much ... Read More

In "The Tripper," a slasher movie with a political conscience, a serial killer wearing a Ronald Reagan mask stalks a group of anachronistic hippies (so anachronistic they have cell phones along with their tie dye t-shirts and psychedelic van) who have come to the forests of Northern California to celebrate free love and partake in unlimited drug use at a Woodstock-type outdoor event.
The Red State/Blue State divide is never far from the filmmakers' minds as a bunch ... Read More
