Brittany Murphy gives another great performance as Jodie, the heroine of Cherry Falls, but the film isn't really sure if it wants to be a dark comedy along the lines of Heathers or a straight forward "serial killer returns to avenge the sins of the town's past" slasher flick. Sometimes, they work together well and, other times, it gets awkward.
The lack of gore doesn't help, but I heard there were censorship issues throughout the production, so you can't really blame the filmmakers for that. There are still enough fun moments throughout to give this one a recommendation.
