Cherry Falls: The Most Expensive Tv Movie Ever

While Brittany Murphy is often remembered for her roles in Clueless and 8 Mile, there's a different film that stands out to me. So I'm spreading the word about a Murphy-led slasher where the killer flips the usual formula on its head, and instead of going after the horny and debaucherous, is targeting virgins. So join us today on Real Slashers, as we take a look at Cherry Falls.

SERIES SYNOPSIS: Ahhh the 80's. A simpler time where the blood ran red, the tits swung freely, and the weed was copiously smoked. A time where rampant killers were simply excuses for excessive sex and over the top murder. Yes, we're looking at an era where the slasher movie ran wild over cinemas everywhere. Today, we're looking at "Real Slashers."

One of the most underrated slasher flicks with a great Brittany Murphy performance, RIP

[@JR_LeMar]

I loved this movie! I agree it stood out from the other teen slasher films of the era, and it should've been a bigger hit.

[@jcriniti2644]

Inspired by Scream but definitely has a life of it's own and I really love it.

[@JaxFPrime81]

Jay Mohr cracked me up as the killer. It was one of his best performances.

[@KyleALarkins]

I’d love to see a remake of this movie. It’s a fun watch with so much potential for more!

[@ghostfakekiller4201]

Love this film ❤ one of the funniest slashers of its time, This may be from 2000 but it's a 90s slasher at heart

[@Pinkranger87]

Ive seen it. It's really good. It got lost in Scream and post Scream movies. But thank God for horror movies being shown on USA or Sci-fi on the weekends

[@russellcheck]

I completely forgot this movie existed! Saw it on IFC many years ago. Thanks so much for spotlighting this! I'm going to hunt down a copy!

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Cherry Falls was definitely a cut above other slashers at the time. It was not only a horror film, but also complex in the killer's identity and motive. It felt like a giallo plot at times. Unfortunately, the shadow of the Colombine murders was causing studios to pull back on their teen horror films and like "My Bloody Valentine" (1981), Cherry Falls seemed to feel the biggest wrath of the censors.

[@Pinkranger87]

Horror movies coming out 1999 really got cut down after What happened at Columbine

[@mrsynysterjay5530]

It's Great to see you post this one. It needs more attention. I picked it up a few years ago on a blind buy, and absolutely love it! I only wished I had seen it back then. I was certainly, missing out.

[@ballztodawallz8713]

Brilliant movie.. defo underrated. The premise was superb, caught me at the right age

[@wstine79]

I vaguely remember this movie in high school. I'm definitely going to check it out now. Brittany Murphy was pretty cool.

[@HumungusO_o]

"Class Dismissed!" Lmao

[@BigGroovyFunker66]

obviously my conundrum will probably be solved by the time it comes to this vid in my evening playlist but I definitely saw Cherry Falls at the pictures in the UK back then.

[@DericMyersYT]

I love this movie. I remember having it recorded off of USA that night. It was pretty chopped up but when they released it on VHS a few months later it was a little more gory. Not by much though. I wish they had released it in theaters and gave it more care. Maybe we would have gotten the unrated version or a sequel. It at least would have had a bigger audience.

[@thelostandforgotten9965]

The head slammed in door scene was my boy Worth Beckers house from Prince George, VA

[@Locadel2003]

This is probably one of the last movies of Michael Biehn that I truly enjoyed. He was very underrated, he did some really excellent movies during the 80s and 90s. What happened to him? He was wasted in the Mandalorian sadly

[@chrisadams8182]

He had a stroke awhile back. It’s affected his speech for sure. He’s talked about it in interviews. He mainly does the con circuit. Signing autographs and such.

[@charlesdavis7285]

Remember seeing it on DVD. Never knew it originally premiered on USA network. Great movie but you could figure out early on who the killer was going to be.

[@paulc1553]

One of my favourites. Tragic what happened to Brittany Murphy. Murphy was always my first choice for Harley Quinn.

[@ashh4929]

Soooo his serial killer get up is basically looking like the lead singer of Type O Negative? Lol

[@HorrorMetalMaestroRedrusty66]

I have the Scream factory remaster, and I do love it, such a shame it was so neutered and cut up, it could have been a masterpiece slasher classic instead of just a good film that wasn't allowed to reach its potential in the genre. AND most upsetting, none of the cut footage was saved so no Director's cut. Which is so face palming.

[@alejandromolinac]

Ha! I remember the days of the Arrow in The Head website days…. This flick was massively covered due to the censorship it was being subjected to with the violence being trimmed….

[@kingslayer2999]

Its a Shame what happened to Britanny Murphy 😢😔

[@emilyborquez8386]

I loved this movie even though I was way too young watching it

[@rvnhty]

I love Britanny Murphy ! ❤

[@Djoker99]

“Welcome to the pop your cherry ball!" 🤣🤣

[@LE-pq3lu]

I love Cherry Falls! I need to buy it. Real ones know about Cherry Falls 👏

[@Gerickmb]

Michael fucking Biehn is a super underrated actor! He should’ve had way more leading roles in his career.. it’s a crime in itself haha

[@dilbertfish]

@Gerickmb Did you know he turned down one of the major roles in The Usual Suspects?

[@Matthweus127]

8:16 - I dont think he waited a specific time. He just integrated himself first as a teacher to get closer to the students before planning the killings. They say the rape happened 27 years prior, which is likely Marliston's age.

[@MrBdiddypop]

Michael Biehn’s character actually had a back story and he to deliver an emotional performance. I’d say this was one of his better performances after the great ones he delivered for the 3 James Cameron movies he was in.

[@JamieWebster-vw4wg]

I always loved this fun little slasher and always suggest it to people.

[@maxpayne7312]

I remember the first time I saw this movie it was on SyFy since I think at that time, since I think SyFy and USA network had a TV deal around that time

[@shamarrialexandre-little3158]

I love Cherry Falls and I think it will benefit from a modern remake😊😊. It is one of those films that not a lot of people know about.

[@shamarrialexandre-little3158]

I’ve always love this film ever since I seen it for the first time 10 years ago. I remember watching on HBO during the summer of my junior high days; I instantly like this movie because of nostalgia❤❤❤

[@fletchbundy]

Cherry Falls is so damn good. I was insanely excited for this premiere, USA did a week premiering horror movies, I believe Terror Tract was also part of the week but Cherry Falls was easily the highlight and is one of the better horror movies I've seen. Great cast, especially Michael. There are some weird moments that are almost incestuous with him and Murphy, which I don't love. Reminds me of the dad in Halloween 6.

[@christiancuozzo7277]

I always feel so stupid saying this is my favorite movie ngl

[@DrNothing23]

I'm pretty sure the painted nail hand closeups of the killer are actual female body double hands slipped in to hide the obvious masculine hands of the actor.

[@cutehotjazz92]

One of my favorite movies ever! Thanks for covering it

[@LiamDalley-jd1kc]

I saw this movie for the first time last year. I enjoyed it as a fun 2000s slasher, fun fact I live in the UK and this got a theatrical release here in the UK

[@maddartist]

Does anyone remember the river inexplicably turning to blood at the end of the movie? No, just me?

[@sarajenkins3485]

The father/daughter relationship was weird 😮

[@johnconnor4040]

I thought they were portraying a close Dad and Daughter. Only time it got weird is when they were doing judo training.

[@Dorthyturner]

Thiiiss like the whole movie has such weird energy I LOVE IT

[@pikeb.3993]

I wish there was a Director's Cut

[@paladinnine859]

This killer was Tommy Wiseau Change my mind

[@Emlane09]

I cracked up at the library scare scene haha 😂

[@GRIMZTrustNo1]

I saw this on tv in Michigan when it came out, oh what a different time.

[@krs4976]

Its been a long time since I saw this, I think I may dig out the dvd from whichever box its resided in for 15years. I remember enjoying it as one of the better horror films released in the early 2000s

[@zadehgenerous9331]

This Blu-Ray is 5.99 at Best Buy. i'm pretty surprised to see it covered by Joseph Blows.

[@mikeobier7913]

Someone needs to find the original cut.

[@dycebastion]

The kung fu movie Drive (the mark ducacos one) is a great Murphy movie too

[@TheReelRapNerd]

Man I LOVE cherry falls. I think it's quite underrated in the subgenre of Slashers. I like it follows the same who done it style of the 90s but makes a unique switch in targets.

[@scottieman2]

Haven't seen this movie in forever. I remember liking it.

[@antbooboo5884]

I've always loved this one.

[@flynaty25]

I love this movie watch it on Halloween almost every year ......such a tv classic...

[@garymanus1263]

Will we get the uncut gore in 2039 ala Friday the 13th Part 2? It took 39 years in that case.

[@robertkeane9393]

This movie is dope though

[@dilbertfish]

Brittany Murphy would have made a brilliant Harley Quinn.

[@wadewilson8011]

It's funny how EVERYONE in pop culture: critics and fans, and reviewers alike, COMPLETELY misconstrued the "Final girl is the Virgin." Or "Only virgins survive in slasher horror movies." That's was never the original formula. John Carpenter himself said, that wasn't the case in Halloween. Annie, Bob, and Linda weren't killed because they were smokin dope and/or having sex. It was because they weren't paying attention to their surroundings. That's it. It was never intended to be, "only the good girl or virgin lives because they're not being naughty." 😂 No, Laurie in Halloween wasn't preoccupied by being horny or a ditsy Imbecile. And technically she did hit a joint with Annie earlier in the movie. So the "doing drugs in a slasher movie is a no no" was completely debunked there. I like how some clowns try to point out that "Laurie was immune to death because when she smoked, she coughed," implying that, "she wasn't an avid smoker."🙄 She still hit the joint. So, the virgins and non-drug users trope was all because people assumed the wrong thing and jumped to conclusions. Which is actually hilarious when you know the film marker's actual intensions.🤣🤣🤣

[@Spike0000]

Cracking classic....

[@Whyaeed]

I talk about this movie all the time….brittany is a final gorl!!!! One of the best

[@Necrow_Productions]

Um... Just watched this... They did OUTRIGHT saw who the father was...

[@CocainBuzz]

Learned about that one in Fangoria

[@julesrules7297]

I've heard of this and now I want to see it.

[@michaellrakes5521]

I fuckin love this movie! In a sea of cheap whodunnit slashers in the wake of Scream, this would be my favorite, far above I Know What You Did Last Summer even. It's cheap by its TV Budget, but it stands up well with a good cast and the twist on virgins was creative as can be. Plus, I always loved Brittany Murphy in almost everything she did. She was beautiful, sweet, hilarious and is sorely missed. No disrespect to her memory, but as a 17 year old kid when this came out, seeing a gothic Brittany trying to ditch that dreaded V card? C'mon man....hell yeah I watched this a lot lmao

[@rochellesweet4775]

Ome of my favorites

[@qtoni2615]

I love this movie!!

[@bryanthebryan2638]

I rented this from blockbuster about 20 years ago. It was double feature with Terror Tract. I loved it and I’m so happy it’s getting attention now.

[@crazy1234573]

I LOVE Brittany Murphy 💓 ❤

[@jameswilkinson2619]

Tv film? Saw this at the cinemas in uk

[@louis3141]

[@gorequillnachovidal]

[@eddead4235]

[@bbussey1967]

Absolute Classic 💯 ❤

[@xeno4665]

Im doing my part 2 😂

[@Analoguejunk]

At least this one is cool. Disney and amazon are making everything expensive and it sucks balls.

[@glennallen2605]

This was a great movie, but why'd you reveal the killer w/o a spoiler notice??? Kinda ruins it for those who haven't seen it, ya know? FYI. :-)

[@sirloin869]

"Never a good enough reason"? Sounds like a Hwyte thing,say less...

[@adriennereyes5405]

I love this film 😊🤟🤟

Jay Mohr's underrated af. Idc if he stole the Tracy Morgan story or not, it's one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

[@user-dz2xr6lh6k]
