Cherry Falls (1999)
Show notes
"Like American Pie with a body count!"
You know the trope, only virgins survive a slasher. Well in CHERRY FALLS, it's the virgins who are getting slashed! This movie is considered a hidden gem of the nineties slasher revival, but how does it hold up REALLY? And why is it the most expensive TV movie ever made?
To round out spooky season, take a dip into the waters of CHERRY FALLS with Baby and Crystal!
