Rating: Summary: Make me an offer. Review: I give this Dvd 4 stars total. Both films are entertaining with "Terror Tract" Being just a little better. "Terror Tract" is kinda similar to Cat's Eye. While Cherry Falls is more along the Scream / Urban legend kind of teen horror. The sound and Picture are first rate and the price is great. If you like horror get this twin billing it's defiantly worth 14 bucks.
Rating: Summary: Cherry Falls - Very Impressive Review: I just wanted to say that firstly i REALLY enjoyed Cherry Falls, as this is the only exception to what most people would consider "Crap BECAUSE it's a tv-movie". It is actually quite enjoyable.Just a quick note though, i HATE the fact that EVERYONE compares horror movies to "Scream". DUH! Not all horror films are MEANT to be like scream. Personally, i have grown to HATE scream due to the fact that people discredit "legitimate" slasher movies like I know what you did last summer, urban legend and now Cherry Falls, just because they've "seen" Scream and suddenly think that that's the holy grail of horror films. GET A LIFE! It makes me ill that people think just because they've seen scream they're suddenly a horror expert! I see people hate Halloween H20 just because michael myers keeps coming back from the dead. DUH! he's michael myers. Why don't you check out all the other sequels where he keeps coming back from the dead. Although unrealistic, it IS warrented, and all you horror fan wannabe's out there that think otherwise can go jump for all i care. As you can see, i am rather passionate on this issue. If you wanna see some REAL horror movies, check out Black Christmas, The House On Sorority Row, Re-Animator>, The Hills Have Eyes, The Exorcist, Hellraiser, Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Evil Dead, Night Of The Living Dead (and the rest of the Dead trilogy). <b>ONLY THEN</b> can you even think about decently posting thoughts on horror flicks, rather than just stating "Not as good as Scream". Bah Humbug!
Rating: Summary: A new slant on horror. Review: I managed to catch "Cherry Falls" on USA when it aired on Halloween 2001. I thought it was great. A horror film that throws the rules completely out the window. We need more scary movies like this. Here's a quick synopsis: A killer is stalking and killing the teenagers of Cherry Falls, Virginia. The common link between them all? They were all virgins. The students of CFHS decide the only way to live to stay off the hit list is to lose their innocence. Cool notion, huh? The performances were great. Brittany Murphy was awesome in this completely underrated role. Michael Biehn ("The Terminator," TV's "Adeventure, Inc."), as the town sheriff, gave a convincing performance of a good guy trying to right a wronged past. Candy Clark ("American Graffiti") does a good turn as Brittany Murphy's mom. For those of you who like trivia, look for Jesse Bradford ("Swimfan") and Clementine Ford (Cybill Shepherd's daughter, "Bring It On"). They have small parts. This DVD is not uncut as I had hoped, but it is worth the buy for the double feature. Check it out. You just might see something you like.

Rating: Summary: Good movies! Bad DVD...... Review: I really wanted this to be a good DVD, but sadly, it isn't. I got it mainly for "Cherry Falls," which is an EXCELLENT movie, and a bit for the other film "Terror Tract." And I got those movies... but that's it. I mean no extra features, nothing really special about it. "Cherry Falls" at least deserves MUCH better! This is becoming a cult favorite, and some features (like a commentary or the cool official trailer) would of been so nice... "Terror Tract" is an OK movie, but pretty much unknown, so there can't be that much for it. If you just want the movies, this disc is pretty good, with good video and audio quality. But otherwise, you may as well get the video.
Rating: Summary: Is it Scarry movie 4 ? Review: It's dawson creek meeting scary movie. I was wondering if this movie was a horror or a comedy. The acting is so bad, the killer is laughable in his/her disguisement.The dialogue is ridiculous.My opinion is : it's not derisive enough to be a great comedy and not serious enough to make you scared ! So what is it ? It's like the director wanted to make a comedy but his sense of humour wasn't good enough.Also it's so predictible. I knew who was the killer as soon as all the characters have been introduced (there is not enough possibilities indeed).SKIP THIS ONE !
Rating: Summary: Great Movie, OK DVD Review: Ok, everyone has seen "Cherry Falls" and that is why most people have bought the DVD. Hey ... sure, throw in another movie! But, when that happens, bad things also happen. There are no features! I mean, the movie is excellent, but people who buy DVD's are looking for features too! "Terror Tract" was ok, but there should be a few extra things. I read in another review, just go buy the VHS, but another reason why people buy DVD's is for the quality of the film also. So, here are the good points: Great movie, good sound, good picture, etc. The bad points: No features. I have seen MANY other DVD's for less than this that are LOADED with features! Good movie, but not so good DVD.
Rating: Summary: A tame disappointment... Review: Okay, so the DVD box and some of the reviews I read claim that this version of "Cherry Falls" contained footage "they couldn't show you on cable." Where is it?? Tame by any slasher fan's standards, this film takes a titillating idea (serial killer stalks virgins, so town's teenagers have a big orgy to save themselves) and makes it into a big yawn. The plot developments are laughable, the characters are cardboard cutouts, and the villian couldn't scare Miss Muffet. Not enough gore, not enough scares, not enough sex, and not enough production talent by half. I hope that Jay Mohr and Brittany Murphy find better vehicles in the future, and that I learn to stop buying things like this sight unseen. Oh, and "Terror Tract?" Now that I have cable, I can watch reruns of "Tales from the Crypt" and enjoy myself on the same level - but kudos to Buff Bagwell and the dad from "Malcolm in the Middle" nonetheless.
Rating: Summary: Cherry Falls + Terror Tract + DVD = Hilarious!! Review: One word....WOW! These movies are absolutely hilarious! I am sure they were meant to be serious horror movies but you cannot help but laugh at them. Cherry Falls is just great! Brittney Murphy, Jay Mohr...do ya need any one else??
