2001 Maniacs

2005 · 87 min

A gleefully nasty, cartoonish splatter comedy that mixes gross-out kills with Southern-fried camp and a wink at the audience.

Tagline: You are what THEY eat!
Overview: On their way to Spring Break, college kids take a detour through an old Southern town. The people of Pleasant Valley insist the kids stay for their annual barbecue celebration... but instead of getting a taste of the old South, the old South gets a taste of them!
