Threats by the prof. matter not a whit, its time for Spring Break! Our boys, Anderson Lee (Jay Gillespie, Nelson (Dylan Edrington), and Cory (Matthew Carey: CREATURE [TV]) are on the road and on their way until they get involved in a little roadkill reminiscent of CABIN FEVER. Then Producer Eli Roth (CABIN FEVER, HOSTEL) shows up with his dog, reminiscent of CABIN FEVER, and, well, you get the idea. This movie is about Sex, Gore, Jokes and fun. Tim Sullivan admits that it's not brain surgery folks.
The boys stop at a gas station where they meet up with some folks their own age, who are far more jaded and sexually predatory.
The next thing you know, they all have taken a short cut --
SO the wrong thing to do in a horror movie
- and then compound that error by obeying a very suspicious road sign marked "Detour" that leads to a muddy backwoods unpaved road
- SO VERY MUCH the wrong thing to do in a Horror movie. In fact, if you've ever wondered why someone would do something stupid in a Horror movie, let me explain it simply. Most people don't realize that they are in a Horror movie until something really bad happens to them. So tonight, when you are in your house or apartment and hear a funny sound in the next room, remember, as you investigate the noise, that you just might be walking into a Horror Movie! Heh! Heh! Heh!
I'm shamefully digressing! The boys drive into the quaint town of Pleasentville where the townsfolks come out to welcome them as Guests of Honor to their Guts & Glory Jubilee.
The townsfolk, led by Mayor Buckman (Robert Englund: EATEN ALIVE, DEAD & BURIED, GALAXY OF TERROR, A NIGHTMARE ON ELMSTREET and way more), are a bit pushy, but the promise of sex by the local girls are enough to convince our trio.
And then more tourists show up. And then more.
Next thing you know, one of the tourist girls takes off down to the lake by one of the local boys, and Merry mishaps occur.
Non-horror fans are not going to like this, and may very well deride this, because they won't pick up on the hammer heavy signs that clearly show that 2001 MANIACS is Horror movie fun. It's not meant to scare -- in fact, there are several moments where something scary could have happened, but that's not what Tim had in mind. Tim wanted goofy gory fun.
