3.0 out of 5 starsDifferent, but ultimately the same.
By Paul B TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 2 April 2008
Format: DVD Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
It's difficult reviewing The Tripper. Do you rate it against all other films? If so, it's just another low budget slasher with a big name attached (in the form of David Arquette, not to mention Jason Mewes and Paul Reubens), or do you rate it against other slasher movies?

In general terms, The Tripper tries for something slightly different from the usual slasher film. It has a political background in the Reagan years and the underlying message is of how Reagan `ruined' America with various political measures. The question is, are any of the standard slasher movie fans going to know or care about this enough to make the idea worth while? Anyway, it creates an excuse for the slasher themselves to wear a Reagan mask, so I shouldn't complain.

In the meantime, the film explores (in the same way that Toy Story 2 explores the effects of the collector on the toy industry) hallucinogenic drug culture, which is basically a case of having some long haired people on drugs and various trippy effects used throughout the movie. Cue Jason Mewes as one of the tripping reprobates (typecasting ahoy!).

As with many other Slasher flicks, it's no surprise to find that it has a low budget look and feel and aside from trippy visuals and so-so political messages, it looks and feels like a typical movie of it's ilk. So while The Tripper has some nice ideas and is probably worthy of your collection should you be a fan of these type of films, it's interesting additions to the genre don't really add enough to stand it above the other films it might be compared to. So not a bad film, by any means, but not likely to win any awards either.

1.0 out of 5 starsIf Monica made horror movies...
By Clint on 25 Jun. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
In all honesty, this film has less than nothing to offer.
Story is mundane.
Characters aren't even one dimensional.
The staging and cinematography are a joke.
The fx are very poorly executed, unoriginal, uninspired and dull as dishwater.
The "political" referencing is pointless unless you're American. The "drug" use/abuse scenes are clichéd and 100% inaccurate. Why did I watch it? Because I was stupid enough to believe the reviews/write up saying how gory it is. The old school stalk and slash expectations never materialised. Still, it's your time and money, if you want to endure a "horror" film co produced by Monica from Friends, go ahead fill your boots. But remember, I told you it's crap.

4.0 out of 5 starsSeverance meets American Pie
By Juhani Jääskeläinen (Finland) on 17 July 2011
Format: DVD
This is a low-budget horror movie with humour, gore, scariness and a well comic tone. The tripper doesn't have the most best cast assembled (besides Jaime King, Thomas Jane, David Arquette himself, Courteney Cox). So the story is about a young boy who witnesses the vision that hippies are evil, so after chainsawing a person's throat the boy gets sent to a medical instiution. Later in 2006 when hippies return to a festival for some deserved vacation, they notice that forests are not allways your friend and that tripping can be fatal. For fans of Severance and Friday 13th. Don't take it seriously tough.

4,5/5

Result: For fans of horror-comedies like Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz and Severance

3.0 out of 5 starsReago~mania
By Arch Stanton on 2 Mar. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
A van full of friends head out into the woods so that they can attend a free~loving festival of music and hedonistic drug abuse. Only to be hunted down and hacked into pieces by a nut~case dressed up as Ronald Reagan, who has an axe to grind against all hippies...

Usual slasher fare, which although pepped up by offering a few good performances and a handful of splattery moments, never exceeds the dizzying dalliances of being totally mediocre!
It's major problems for me, other than it being completely cliched and rather dull because of it, are that it has an unlikeable heroine and really isn't witty or satirical enough to set it apart.
Yeah, sure, one could argue that it's a slasher film, and therefore it doesn't need to be clever, providing it gives the fans what they want, namely gratuitous sex and violence, but unfortunately it doesn't really give us much of that either.. At least not to the levels that will make it stand out, and as I've already said, one can't help but think that somewhere it missed a trick and that the writing team should have gone for at least another draft in an attempt to make it that bit smarter. Oh, and the maniac doesn't really look all that much like Ronald Reagan either...

So what does it have going for it? Well, for a start it's quite well made, and certainly less inept than some efforts in this genre, and along with having one or two fun moments, it also has some quite cool trippy bits and neat colourful lighting effects. But aside from that, that's about your lot. Not bad, but just nothing to set it apart.

The disc on review is the unrated region 1 disc, which is uncut, unlike the R Rated print, which was used for the UK release.
The disc has a commentary, a behind the scenes featurette and 3 making of... short shorts.

3/5

3.0 out of 5 starsHeeere's Ronnie
By West25 on 18 July 2011
Format: DVD
The Tripper is David Arquette's directorial debut, it seems like an homage to 80's slashers with a political edge. In the 80's a young boy witnesses his father get hit by a hippie protester, in retaliation he kills the man with a chainsaw. We see the boy get dragged away by the police, now it's present day. A group of teens are going to a drug fueled hippie weekend music festival, when they run into 3 hillbillie redknecks and get into an altercation. Once they get to the festival and everybody gets high, a deranged serial killer in a Ronald Reagan mask starts slaughtering everybody.

For such a low budget horror movie, it actually has a pretty good cast, I assume a few are doing Arquette a favour. Balthazar Getty, Lukas Haas, Thomas Jane, Jaime King, Jason Mewes, Paul Reubens and Arquette himself are the biggest names in the cast. Mewes and Reubens were probably the most fun, Mewes gives the most hilarious reply i've ever seen to somebody having their hand hacked off with an axe.

I'm not really sure how to rate Arquette's directing, as the film clearly was never meant to be anything more than a fun throwback to past slashers. It's upto the individual to make up their own minds as to whether this is a decent homage, or a film simply riddled with cliches. It has the grainy, gritty look of a much older film, and it was clearly made on a shoestring budget. There's scenes where we see the picture as if we're tripping out ourselves, it felt kind of awkward, annoying and unnecessary. If this was directed by a newcomer instead of Arquette, then I highly doubt the movie would have assembled the cast it did. It's the well known actors in roles you don't regularly see them in, that makes the movie a lot of fun.Read more ›
