Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

This crude slasher movie from Scream scriptwriter Kevin Williamson fails to spice up the old recipe and is far too sparing with the basic ingredient - the gruesome slaughter of nauseating American teenagers by a terrifying killer. Here a hook-handed fisherman (a sort of transmogrified Cap'n Birds Eye) terrorises four teenagers involved in a hushed-up hit-and-run accident. There are shoals of red herrings, lots of dumb 'Behind you!'-type scares, and not a scrap of imagination. Heche adds a dash of class as a weird country hick haunted by her brother's suicide, but otherwise the bland teenage cast simply go through the motions.
