And the Wilhelm scream at the end? That's Mastercard Priceless right there.

That scream is familiar, but it's not the Wilhelm (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cdbYsoEasio).

My favorite exchange:
"He took the phones."
"What a dickhead."

It looks like it could be fun, but that trailer seems to have spoiled pretty much every potentially scary/creepy/surprising moment in the movie.

And I would be really pissed if at the end it turns out it was all just a bad trip, or one of them had a trip so bad that he/she killed the rest of them.


EDIT: And it's also apparent, at least from that trailer, that no one involved in writing the movie has ever done shrooms.

Dammit! Then what's that scream called? It nearly as ubiquitous (and just as annoying) as the Wilhelm.

After doing a quick ten minute search for the answer, I got nothing. I came across several threads of several message boards querying about it, but with no answers.

I recognize that scream from the game StarCraft...does that help at all?

I know StarCraft lifted a lot of sound effects and voice-overs from Aliens.

Fantastic idea that is probably bungled.

Holy shit you're right. I played SC a ton but had forgotten that said scream was in there. You're also right that it lifts from Aliens. I remember now. The scream is from when dude carrying the cartridges in the bag gets a face full of flamethrower and topples over the railing or whatever. Same scream. Now if we could only figure out where IT came from.

Doesn't look like it capitalizes on its premise. I see little "trip" in there.

Still the film has a decent premise, even if it will probably descend into the usual cliched slasher picture.

I much prefer that scream to the Willhelm scream, although I have never been able to find out much about it. I do know it makes an appearance in AHHH Real Monsters, Face/Off and in Broken Arrow(When Howie Long gets kicked off of the train).

Yeah, that scream is very reminiscent of the sound from Starcraft which is connected to the Terran academy.

For once, I'd like to see a film where there are teenagers behaving badly but it isn't them who're getting killed.
