cherry falls (2000)

"I need to ask you a personnel question."
A killer is offing the pupils of a high school, seemingly based on their being virgins. This knowledge is announced to the parents by the sheriff (Michael Biehn) , and when this gets out to the students, they decide to organise a sex party to eliminate themselves from the killers focus. At the same time the sheriff's daughter Jody (Brittany Murphy) decides to investigate, and stumbles on a 27 year old secret...
A post modern twist on the stalk and slash, that cuts to the chase pretty damn quick, and is still essentially an enjoyable horror, but what lifts it above others of the genre is not its supposed satirical take, but the presence of Britney Murphy.
