The movie begins with a girl (newcomer Ashley Brightwell) in panties and open blouse attempting to find her way out of an industrial building. There is a "rave" flyer on the floor and rave music playing. She doesn't fare well. The movie switches to a nice suburban scene with chiroing birds and distant lawn mowing sounds. Four college girls are inside with various accents. They are going to go to a "rave" party tonight to get drunk and meet boys. Thankfully they all have to shower and change beforehand. One of the girls is make-up specialist Mary Avelis in an acting role as C.C. Newcomer Victoria Roberts plays Kayla and the other two girls are Krissy Linville (southern accent)and Rachel Marie Smith.
Meanwhile there are 2 cops on a stake-out discussing ties and basically messing up their lines (I don't think they did second takes). They are waiting for a drug deal to go down. Some of the lines were added after the movie was shot, giving it all the ambiance of a cheap Italian import. The girls follow proper etiquette and take a hit of ecstasy (or "X" as they called it) before entering the Rave.
As it turns out they are the only ones there and are locked in. Meanwhile there is a man (Nathan Todaro in his first starring role) in a kitchen chopping vegetables wearing a bloody chef's hat and cheap blue surgeon's gloves (extreme low budget film). How low budget? One of the girls ventures out on her own. A burly guy (burlap face) stabs the girl in the stomach complete with stabbing and blood gurgling sounds. As he drags her limp body away, we discover there is no wound or blood. The cannibal chef tells us he was raised a Buddhist.
The movie was designed to be campy. I love campy. It certainly achieves it. But what we discovered in this movie is that campy, when cold sober, is not always funny. The box claims this was the winner of the 2008 Fright Night Film Festival. I don't want to see the losers.
Nudity, f-bomb, and an apparent off camera rape.
