Spring
break is usually the time for an old college tradition: hitting the
Florida beach for a little sun, beer and at least ten wet T-shirt contests.
Spring break is supposed to be a nonstop party of epic proportion. But
this year, there's trouble in paradise. This year, one of the local
bikers has just been set to the electric chair and his last words "I'll
come back for revenge" seem to be more than an idle threat. Just
as Spring Break kicks into high gear, a rash of grisly murders start
weeding out the visiting coeds.
Italian
director Umberto Lenzi is best known for his revolutionary jungle cannibal
movies DEEP
RIVER SAVAGES, EATEN
ALIVE BY CANNIBALS and CANNIBAL
FERROX, but those films don't reduce the significance of his
many other projects. Mr Lenzi went to the United States in 1988 to work
on the PRIMAL
RAGE project and decided to relocate. He directed this body-count
thriller shortly after HITCHER
IN THE DARK. Due to contractual problems, Mr Lenzi signed most
films with the pseudonym Bob collins, Humphrey Humbert and (in this
case) Harry Kirkpatrick). This one - as well as most of his other motion
pictures from the '80s and '90s - was co-written with Olga Pehar, his
wife.
