The rambling story attempts to turn the genre on its head, but it ends up giving in to every slasher clich (Arquette himself plays a backwoods redneck). The acting ranges from abysmal to barely adequate.

A mostly dull-blade exercise that offers little to think or scream about.

Reminiscent of the 80's horror flicks with a sharper edge, but a genre unto itself, The Tripper is a trip and a half.

too many moments just didn't make sense or work in the slightest for somebody sober
