Dopo tanti filmacci d'azione, era giusto concedersi un filmaccio adolescenzial-pruriginoso: e
Cherry Falls non ha deluso!
La letizia regna sovrana nella ridente cittadina di
Cherry Falls: gli adolescenti limonano felici (anche se più in là dell'annusarla sembra non si possa proprio andare) nelle loro automobilone americane, amorevolmente supervisionati dai genitori (si vede che ad una certa età si diventa contemplativi...)
Presto a turbare l'idillio arriva un simpatico serial-killer che ammazza le coppiette, concentrandosi esclusivamente su verginelli e verginelle.
Ora anche la piccola
Brittany Murphy (che ha fatto del tirarsela un hobby, uno sport, un'arte ed un mestiere) si sente in pericolo! La sua unica speranza è che
il babbo sceriffo - che già ha combattuto degnamente il
Terminator - catturi il mariuolo, prima di perdere tante cose importanti tutte in una volta (non ultima,
la pellaccia).
Efficiente quanto la pubblica amministrazione italiana, la polizia locale combina ben poco e l'assassino miete vittime a dozzine. E qui i liceali dimostrano un acume fuor del comune: se l'assassino colpisce solo i vergini (ed in misura minore i capricorno), l'unica via d'uscita è organizzare una mega-festa con orgietta monogama a seguire, onde risolvere alla radice il problema!
Pure genius...
Da qui in poi il film peggiora, e si svela un improbabile plot fatto di stupri, ubriachezza molesta e vecchi rancori di cui - francamente - non ci riesce proprio di interessarci.
I film adolescenziali sono sempre una garanzia, e questo non fa eccezione: da tenere d'occhio il trans-killer che in alcune inquadrature ricorda
Iiigor, l'ingorgo sulle scale per fuggire dalla festa ed - in generale - la disarmante stupidità manifestata da tutti. Ragguardevoli le prove attoriali.
Il regista è da tenere d'occhio, perché dimostra un notevole tocco per il trash moderno e patinato.

Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Michael Biehn was born on July 31, 1956 in Anniston, Alabama, grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska, and at age 14 moved with his family to Lake Havasu, Arizona, where he won a drama scholarship to the University of Arizona. He left prematurely two years later to pursue an acting career in Hollywood. His first big role was as a psychotic fan stalking Lauren Bacall in The Fan (1981) and later appeared in The Lords of Discipline (1983). He hit the big-time when he was cast as Kyle Reese, the man sent back through time to stop Arnold Schwarzenegger in James Cameron's The Terminator (1984). This established a good working relationship with Cameron, a relationship that should have catapulted Biehn to international stardom. He starred in Cameron's subsequent films, Aliens (1986) and The Abyss (1989), the latter a standout performance as unstable Navy SEAL officer Lt. Coffey. In the 1990s he starred in films like Navy Seals (1990), K2 (1992) and was particularly memorable as Johnny Ringo in Tombstone (1993). Biehn is married and the father of four sons.
Trivia random: Replaced actor James Remar as Corporal Dwayne Hicks in Aliens (1986).
Citazione random: [About not spending much time with Arnold Schwarzenegger on the original Terminator]: "I saw him around, you know. He was doing his thing, I was doing my thing, but I didn't really get to talk to him because Linda and I spend the entire film running away from Arnold."

Murphy, Brittany
Nome di battesimo: Murphy, Brittany Anne
Data di nascita: 10 November 1977
Altezza: 5' 3" (1.60 m)
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Perhaps it was being born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in Edison, New Jersey that bestowed Brittany Murphy with the adaptability that has allowed her to conquer a fairly prodigious amount of projects for her 25 years. Brittany first honed her acting skills in regional theater at the age of 9. By age 13, she had signed on with a manager and began appearing in television commercials. In 1991, at the age of 13, Brittany and her mother moved to Burbank, California, where she landed her first television role on the show "Blossom" (1991). This lead to a starring role on "Drexell's Class" (1991), a series that proved to be short lived. Brittany's major breakthrough film appearance was in Clueless (1995), the Emma meets "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) comedy, in which she starred opposite of Alicia Silverstone. She has gone on to demonstrate her versatility and talent for not only comedy but drama; Brittany was nominated for best leading female performance in the Young Artist Awards for her role in the television film David and Lisa (1998) (TV). Aside from the 25 screen appearances since her Clueless (1995) breakthrough, Brittany has lean her vocal talents, established in the early 1990s as a lead singer of her band "Blessed Soul", to the cartoon "King of the Hill" (1997) as the voice of Luanne. She now resides in Los Angeles, where she lives with her mother.
Trivia random: In the early '90s, she was the lead singer in her band, called "Blessed Soul".
Citazione random: [On seeing her Girl, Interrupted (1999) character on screen] "I always envisioned her looking like a spindly blonde, but she looked like me".
