Gory but kitsch thriller set in the deep south about a gang of college kids on spring break who spend the night in the inappropriately named town of Pleasant Valley - a decision they will regret. Persuaded by the overzealous mayor to join them for the town's annual BBQ, the prospect seems hard to resist until they begin to disappear one-by-one in the most gruesome of fashions.

3.5/5

It's all gleefully over-the-top - from the comedy to the gore - and rife with playful Southern traditions.

...riddled with precisely the sort of unconvincing and subpar acting that one generally associates with low-budget horror flicks.

...on a level playing field, Sullivan's remake is a better film [than the original] in every regard...Not for grandma, but loads of crude fun otherwise.

Wow! Even if you don't enjoy the movie, you can't deny that Robert englund and lin Shayne made this movie through and through. Being from the south, I enjoyed the movie even though it makes fun of our heritage. I got a real kick out of it.

Filne ruim, o roteiro é ruim, as cenas de terror são ruins, junto com as cenas de sensualidade, e ofinal é horrível os dois amigos tentam escapar mas morrem por causa de um arrame no meio da estrada. Eu não recomendo esse filme ruim do caralho, vai se fude.

Think campy sexual innuendo comedy similar to Road Trip/Eurotrip meets crazy cannibalistic southerners. Robert Englund was good but Lin Shaye was the standout for me. Decent special fx and interesting kills. Just to note, lots of sexual content as well as animal deaths, so just a warning if you wish to avoid those things.

I think 2001 Maniacs might be my favorite movie to watch during the 4th of July season. A great comedic slasher movie with Robert England and Lin Shaye. 2001 Maniacs puts a whole new twist on the "Southern Hospitality" saying. I'll never think of it the same again.
