                                               First off folks the title to this film is grossly misleading. So lets get to it!..... Four young college girls set out on a road trip to bond, they end up swimming naked in a lake. (this I liked) . As they drive at night to some other unknown place their car breaks down.(who woulda guessed?) I’m fine with this stereo-typical set-up here, it works. Our killer Billy comes out of the night in his father’s beat up old pick-up truck and gives the girls a lift to his Pa's farmhouse. When they get there Pa gets angry at Billy but in the end the girls spend the night only to be slaughterd by an unknown assailant. In act two we go thru a long grueling process of Billy who thinks he may have murdered the girls but isnt 100% if he actually did (finding himself scene). And I tell you folks this was a bit painful to sit thru. Either way Billy gets hit on by a sultry hot waitress named Sherry and she feels sorry for Billy and brings him back to her place. They more-or-less hook up. The Kills in this film are kinds bland, just not great. I wont go into the nitty- gritty details in the story but will say the acting isnt great and the film is very slow at times  but the characters are some what belivable in a corny way. I did like the nudity and the few kills. But other than that I will give this movie .........................
