It's sort of fun -- at least if you're someone who has a taste for gory slasher flicks.

Horror fans with a sense of humor will really enjoy this slice of gory goodness.

It's different, but is it any good? As another former President might say, "Depends on how you define 'good'."
05/02/08
Much like David Arquette's acting career, the film is often unbearable and rarely shows competence, but still remains an antagonistic curiosity that can't be easily denied.
04/26/07
The rambling story attempts to turn the genre on its head, but it ends up giving in to every slasher cliché (Arquette himself plays a backwoods redneck). The acting ranges from abysmal to barely adequate.

A serial killer wearing a Ronald Reagan mask is killing off hippies at what must be the most under-attended music festival ever . . .
10/29/07
Ineptly written by Arquette and Joe Harris, The Tripper is a carnival of cretins doing and saying one ass-headed thing after another.
04/21/07
The first thirty minutes are quite good and the ending works very well, but there’s an entire middle section which is badly paced and packed with filler.
08/21/07
Exhibit A for Courteney Cox if she does end up divorcing David Arquette...
04/19/07
A mostly dull-blade exercise that offers little to think or scream about.

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