Review
"Fans of 1990's and early 21st Century horror should consider Cherry Falls a must-see; like Wes Craven's seminal Scream franchise, director Geoffrey Wright, and writer Ken Selden deliver a deliberate upending of traditional genre tropes, specifically the long-established connection between promiscuity and death in slasher films... In Cherry Falls, unabashed teenage sex is more than just a marketing gimmick; the filmmakers are directly challenging antiquated notions of virginity as something valuable, something to be cherished, a status symbol even. Virginity doesn't make one woman inherently superior to another, and the idea that a psychopath would concern him-or-herself with sexual status is ludicrous." - Joshua Millican, Horror Freak News
