Having seen the original "Two Thousand Maniacs", I can say I much preferred it over this remake, despite the presence of Robert Englund. The original, which was just as cheesy and bad as the remake, at least is much more fun to watch. "2001 Maniacs" isn't scary, isn't well acted, and isn't well written, and is completely, ridiculously, terrible.

Unaware to the eight unsuspecting Northerners, Mayor Buckman and the residents have more in store where they plan to use the festival as a blood ritual by separating the guests and, killing them off one-by-one in ultra-gory fashion.

Ni particulièrement bien tourné, ni particulièrement bien écrit, il s'agit d'une oeuvre qui mise beaucoup sur son étrange humour ainsi que ses meurtres malsains. Il faut donc se trouve dans une disposition d'esprit particulière pour regarder ce film jusqu'au bout. Personnellement, je ne saurais le recommander avec sincérité. Dans le genre, je "

And yet, having watched it, I am now moving on to the sequel, with some very low expectations, of course. But if you want to watch this movie, do yourself a favour and go with the original film over this one.” read more
