Movie Reviews

Dread Central - 8/10 by Johnny ButaneHorror fans with a sense of humor will really enjoy this slice of gory goodness.
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfMuch like David Arquette's acting career, the film is often unbearable and rarely shows competence, but still remains an antagonistic curiosity that can't be easily denied.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 6/10 by Jeff ViceIt's sort of fun -- at least if you're someone who has a taste for gory slasher flicks.
Sci-Fi Movie Page - 5/10 by James O'EhleyA serial killer wearing a Ronald Reagan mask is killing off hippies at what must be the most under-attended music festival ever . . .
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanThe rambling story attempts to turn the genre on its head, but it ends up giving in to every slasher cliché (Arquette himself plays a backwoods redneck). The acting ranges from abysmal to barely adequate.
CinemaBlend - 4/10 by Brian HolcombIt's different, but is it any good? As another former President might say, "Depends on how you define 'good'."
VODzilla.co - 3/10 by Anton BitelDavid Arquette's debut is a so-so slasher elevated by its unexpected (but eventually overworn) political mask.
Boxoffice Magazine - 2/10 by Jay AntaniIneptly written by Arquette and Joe Harris, The Tripper is a carnival of cretins doing and saying one ass-headed thing after another.
User Review - 10/10 by Angela Gwell umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch..its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie...i think that both jason mewes (the legend actor from jay and silent bob movies)...n david arquette play good parts throughout this movie...i think that both thomas jane n paul reubuns play good parts as well thorughout this movie..i think that the director of this horror movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect thorughout this movie..its a good movie 2 watch n its really enjoyable throughout this movie..i think that the killer of this movie is pretty kewl because its a maniac with a rronald reagen mask on which is kewl me thinks
