Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

According to teen slasher movie convention, sexually active girls and boys get diced while good little virgins escape the psycho's knife. So what if there were a killer who targeted only virgins? Faced with a 'hymen holocaust', hitherto chaste teens might reconsider the value of their sexual purity. A potentially subversive scenario is, however, wasted in this half-baked horror movie. Will virginal heroine Murphy opt to save her life by going all the way with boring, horny boyfriend Mann? Sundry characters take a stab at being prime red herring: Brittany's flirtatious, alcoholic mother Clark, her uptight sheriff father Biehn, his slightly butch female deputy, and countless others. But it turns out to be the one you thought it was all along.
