The Tripper (2006)

A David Arquette writes, produces, directs and stars in a film that probably seemed funnier and smarter in the planning stages than it does now it is finished. It is surely not meant to be frightening even it is a slasher film.

A bunch of very unlikeable young people head to a concert in rural California where the sex and drugs and rock’n’roll is interrupted by a killer who is modelled on Ronald Reagan. The Tripper tries for some political joke making, but doesn’t try hard enough, with a cast including David Arquette, Courteney Cox Arquette, Balthazar Getty, Thomas Jane, Jaime King, Jason Mewes, Wes Craven, and Paul Reubens. The only good thing about this movie is the use of Reagan Youth on the soundtrack.

“No hippies or republicans were harmed in this film.”
