"It's morning in America."

David Arquette's supply-side horror-comedy The Tripper pits a entire Pacific Northwest music festival's worth of stoned neo-hippies against their worst nightmare: a pissed-off Republican serial killer in a Ronald Reagan mask. Arquette's directorial debut is a visceral, highly amusing slasher. Calling in a galaxy of favors in the form of stunt casting (Tom Jane, Paul Rubens, Lukas Haas) and packed with psychedelic visuals, the film was fun, especially with a packed audience; I snagged the last available seat in the screening room, elbow-to-elbow with a thrilled crowd. Afterwards, Argquette graciously stayed to autograph every poster and take a pic with every member of the crowd.

Why do I keep closing my eyes in photos?
