The best thing about this ultra-low-budget slasher movie by Ocean King Productions (or OK Productions) is the tagline on the poster: "By Sword, By Pick, By Axe, Bye Bye." The film follows a group of college students who travel to an island property during fall break and are stalked and murdered one by one. Originally titled Fall Break, with a cheesy, incessant bad-'80s-movie theme song called "Fall Break" to prove it, this beachfront slasher has some pretty decent gore effects to accompany the pretty atrocious acting. This almost wholesome sitcom of an R-rated slasher has a mild, indie charm. Apparently, a 40-years-later legasequil has been completed!
