Trivia:

Since the campus used as Alpine University in the film didn't have an actual bell tower, a 150 ft. tower was built at an estimated $150,000.00. All of the interiors were done on a separate stage and the actual bell was papier-mâché.

Goofs:

Continuity: Amy is seen walking through a heavy snowstorm, but by the next morning, the several inches of snow have disappeared and the trees are green.

Quotes:

Reese: [after Amy shoots Professor Solomon] That's my sister, baby, and she's a whole lotta woman.

OH why...WHY!?

I have to ask myself why did I even rent this... an ex-girlfriend recommended it so maybe it was all some sort of revenge...

Actually I really liked scream 3 so I was a bit hopeful in watching this but my hopes were mangled much like a fragile monarch butterfly caught in a lawnmower. The story was just horrible; it made no sense just a stream of unconnected gore scenes that don't build tension or suspense. The Characters aren't even amusing stereotypes, and not that the actors had much to work with in the first place.

The central problem with movies like this...without good characters the movie drags, the gore scenes become meaningless and we don't care who lives and who dies.

The stolen kidney death scene was nice and brutal, and the campus where it was filmed was really cool, that's about it on the good points.
