FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL 2007 - MONTREAL July 11th
Video #6 PART 1
Film : THE TRIPPER

The mere description of THE TRIPPER garners chuckles and shivers from the get-go: An axe-weilding Ronald Reagan lookalike decides to deliver the ultimate presidential veto to a group of drug-taking modern hippies on the way to a rock concert in California's spookily primeval redwood forests. The bloody fun in this subversive horror comedy begins when said hippies -- played by a top-notch cast headed by Jaime (SIN CITY) King, Lukas (MARS ATTACKS) Haas and Jason (CLERKS) Mewes, plus King's meddling, hotheaded ex-boyfriend Balthazar (FEAST) Getty stalking from the sidelines -- head north on a road "trip" to attend a retro music fest, the sort that enchanted the bygone '60s generation and one filled with similarly ample amounts of hallucinogens and sex. But worse than a bad acid flashback, a Reagan-obsessed maniac, spouting familiar Gipper slogans, appears on the scene to mete out some conservative-style justice to the partying kids. And if you don't fall victim to old Ronnie, perhaps his killer dog "Nancy" (!) will do the trick!
--------------------------------------------
Un simple résumé de THE TRIPPER suffit à déclencher ricanements et frissons : un sosie de Ronald Reagan, armé d'une hache, applique l'ultime veto présidentiel à une bande de hippies contemporains et pharmacophiles, en route vers un concert rock présenté au coeur de la sinistrement primitive forêt de séquoias Californienne. Les plaisirs sanglants de ce film sont déclanchés lorsque lesdits hippies --interprétés par une distribution de premier plan menée par Jaime (SIN CITY) King, Lukas (MARS ATTACKS) Haas et Jason (CLERKS) Mewes, avec, en marge, l'ex-amant jaloux et intrusif de King, joué par Balthazar (FEAST) Getty -- remontent le temps et la côte pour assister à un festival de musique «rétro», du type qui enchantait la génération des années 60 et arrosée de généreuses doses de drogues et de sexe. Mais un danger plus néfaste qu'un mauvais trip d'acide les guette, incarné en un maniaque obsédé de Reagan, répétant les slogans familiers du «Gipper», prêt à casser le party en appliquant sa justice conservatrice aux jeunes délurés. Et si vous échappez au vieux Ronnie, vous devez encore vous méfier de sa chienne sanguinaire «Nancy»!
