Cherry Falls

Cherry Falls

Cherry Falls is a small town with some dirty secrets--secrets that come to light when a psychotic killer starts killing teenagers. Only the killer has an unusual criterion: only virgins are marked for death. Cherry Falls is a striking movie that never got released in theaters, probably because marketers didn't know what to do with it. It's not a winking, smirk-while-you-shriek twist on the genre like Scream, nor is it a broad parody like Scary Movie--instead, Cherry Falls tries to turn the clichés of slasher movies into something that will do more than make you jump in shock, and it largely succeeds. It's still scary; few things are creepier than wandering the empty hallways of a high school after hours, and Cherry Falls takes full advantage of that. It's also often funny, mostly because the mechanics of a slasher movie have become just a little too much and you can't help laughing. But it also makes you think twice about attitudes towards sex--moments such as parents breaking into a brawl while talking about their children's sex activity, or an "experienced" girl's pep talk to an assembly of girls eager to lose their virginity, are both funny and caustic. Brittany Murphy (Clueless, Girl, Interrupted) shines as the sheriff's daughter caught in the middle of it all; Michael Biehn (The Terminator, The Rock) is great as the earnest sheriff who knows more than he lets on; and Jay Mohr (Go, Jerry Maguire) smoothly handles the part of a teacher with an unhealthy interest in Murphy. Cherry Falls doesn't tell you when it's funny or scary, which makes many viewers uncomfortable. But if you're interested in watching a slippery, layered examination of sexual attitudes that is also a successful, spooky slasher flick, then this movie is for you. --Bret Fetzer

Leonard Marliston:
Cindy, come on, I think it's important in time like this, we offer each other some support.

Cindy:
I'd like to offer the killer's ass some support... in the f***ing electric chair.

Cindy:
This is Ben's pathetic concept of cool, is to pretend he's not afraid.

Ben:
Well hello Cindy Freud, what's your concept of being cool, Doc? Banging the whole entire senior class starting with A?

Jody Marken:
Think she goes all the way?

Sandy:
Doubt it, who'd wanna f*** her?

Ben:
She thinks fellatio is a character in Shakespeare.

Cindy:
Girls have to do everything. Boys are totally clueless when it comes to sex. It starts with them trying to unhook our bras, fumbling around, and it never changes. Wait until they try to put their dick into you.

Diana:
Please don't say they need help with that.

Cindy:
Always.

1st father:
What are we supposed to tell our kids?

2nd father:
Tell them to go out and get laid so they can feel safe?

Sheriff Brent Marken:
No, I'm not saying that.

3rd father:
I can't lock my daughter up in the basement.

2nd father:
I wouldn't worry about it Victor.

Leonard Marliston:
Ben, I know you have a very different point of view on this tragedy, so go ahead.

Ben:
Well, I would like to know if this killer removed any body parts or sexually defiled any orifice of the victim.

Cindy:
You're tragically sick.

Ben:
I wanna know because if he didn't, this loser deserves a thumbs down!

Heather:
How can you be so insensitive?

Ben:
Oh what, when you're like Mother Teresa? You're the one who told him to drop dead.

Dylan:
You're only fooling yourself with this display of indifference.

Ben:
Hey jackhole, you're not playing DeathQuake now, *this* is the real world!

Dylan:
F*** you.

Timmy:
Holy hymens, Batman--they're killing virgins!

Dylan:
Annette, it's always a compliment when a guys says you can suck a mean dick.

Annette:
You're a sh*t-sucking liar!

Dylan:
It's better than a cock-sucking liar!

Sherrif Brent Marken:
You know what happened!

Leonard Marliston:
I can't remember this part of the story so tell us what happened.

Heather:
One time in the eight grade, I told Rod to f*** off and die.
