Rebecca (Katie Peterson) known as "The Virgin Mary" joins 5 girlfriends for a debacle weekend break. Her mother watches over her like Carrie's mother. Meanwhile a film crew similar to "Girls Gone Wild" follows them around. There is also a slasher who wears a mask, that isn't too hard to figure out due to the limited number of candidates and cliche writing.
The style mimics the 80's slasher with ample nudity and Troma style effects. If fact it goes too far overboard in that it is more of a "Girls Gone Wild" film with a slasher. The dialogue and interactions of the characters was weakly written, which is hard to do for this type of film. Plenty of nudity and scream queen Linnea Quigley is always a treat. If you are looking for a slightly amusing slasher with plenty of nudity, this one will fill in until something better comes along. Personally I preferred, Sid Haig's "Creature," to each his own.
Ryan Keely who does lesbian scenes in adult movies, coerces ample Mandy to remove her top in front of her, yet in another scene rejects the advances of Caley Hayes.
Perv guide: F-bomb, crude sexual talk, sex, nudity (Brandy Whitford, Krystyna Ahlers, Shea Stewart, Ryan Keely, Kelly Otis, Caley Hayes, Janessa Brazil, uncredited stripper, uncredited slide girl) and full frontal nudity (Jennifer Worthington).

GO HAMMERHEADS
Neither wild or killer
Part of me was semi-intrigued, being someone who is no stranger to slasher films and has liked quite a lot and the idea interested me somewhat despite being ridiculous. A large part of me was apprehensive though, having heard it was not good and that it looked like one of those cheap and overdone films with a muddled tone.
Which, when watching it, was what 'Girls Gone Dead' essentially was. It is not a complete waste of time. It is also a long way from a good film as well. 'Girls Gone Dead' may not have insulted my intelligence and there are certainly far worse films. However, if it was trying to entertain, scare or both, 'Girls Gone Dead' failed quite badly on both counts, making the film, despite a few decent things, a chore to sit through. Am not hating or trying to be malicious, it is just my genuine stance on a film that didn't do anything for me as well as many others.
'Girls Gone Dead' doesn't look too awful, the photography and editing are not award-worthy but neither are too amateurish in quality. Some of the music is catchy.
The best thing are a couple of the cameos. In particular Beetlejuice and Sal injecting a much needed trashy charm.
However, the rest of the acting, from particularly the leads, is both overplayed and stiff. In all fairness they were hindered by hammy direction, constantly awkward and limp dialogue and that the film has no interesting or likeable character whatsoever.
The script is childish, flabby and even improvisatory-sounding. The story is not much of one and takes forever to get going, when it finally does it is not for long and it is too late to care. 'Girls Gone Dead' seemed like a comedy mixed with slasher horror, and over-emphasises the comedy too much.
Sadly, the comedy is not even close to being strong enough to make this imbalance not matter, it is completely witless, childish and so overdone it gets exhausting. The more horror-like elements are a long way from tense or suspenseful, generating little interest even. The kills were not creative and would go as far to say they were too tame, while the things there to by the film's definition "spice things up" (especially the nudity) came over as gratuitous and abused.
Overall, weak with nothing wild or killer. 3/10 Bethany Cox
Puerile fun.
Hands up if you like hot women. And hands up if you enjoy excessive violence. If you haven't got both hands high in the air, then you've got the wrong film, because babes and blood is what Girls Gone Dead is all about. Although described as a comedy/horror, decent laughs and scares are in short supply, while T&A and gore fill almost every frame.
The film sees six sexy girlfriends spending spring break together being targeted by a killer brandishing a massive warhammer (a cool weapon—part axe, part hammer). That's pretty much it as far as plot is concerned, at least until the unmasking of the maniac and we get a typical slasher explanation for their killing spree.
During the course of the film we get lots of skin from some very curvaceous cuties (blonde lead Katie Peterson and brunette Brandy Whitford are smokin'!),oodles of cool blood and guts courtesy of Marcus Koch, and fun cameos from cult icons such as ex-pornstar Ron Jeremy, scream queen Linnea Quigley, and teeny-tiny bug-eyed Howard Stern regular Beetlejuice (who gets his head chopped off!).
Obviously, it's all very puerile, but since when did a film have to be sophisticated to be fun?
