Terror at Tenkiller is one of the most terrifying films of all time - not due to competance - but because it never seems to end.

The story opens with a pretty decent gore effect as an unintroduced character recieves a "razor blade smile", from an unidentifiable character, and is buried in Lake Tenkiller never to be heard from again. Skip ahead. A few days later. Enter the heroins - two college girls whose names I unfortunately forgot (in fact, I found myself forgetting a lot immediatley after viewing this turd-burger; and the imdb doesn't even list any character names). One is having problems with her pushy boyfriend. They break-up. She decides to go on a road trip with her friend to...that's right, Lake Tenkiller. Now, any characters who vacation at a lake that ends in the word "killer", just four miles from "Lake Gore", deserve to die if you ask me. Also, the driving scene includes music so incredibly inept, that it makes one beg for the theme from Kate and Allie. In fact, while listening to this tune, I almost relieved myself (how embarassing) in a hysterical laughing fit.

Well, the girls now have a job - at a local diner (where it turns out the first murder victim had worked) - and a love interest in common. Seems he works at a boat-rental port (not sure how there's business though, as the whole town has a population of about 20). Unfortunately, the horny old fisherman who owns the boat rental has the "sexy" (in the 80's "sexy" = "disgusting") girls in his sight. That's okay, though, as the love interest kills him - in fact, he's the killer. Oh, don't worry, I'm not giving anything away. The film TELLS YOU THIS twenty minutes in, ruining any chance at suspense.

The rest of Tenkiller involves the girls figuring out that loverboy's the killer. That's it. There's one or two other deaths, but who cares? There's no more gore (ooh, a ryhme). Also, the acting is beyond bad. It's on that "What's in the Box?" (Brad Pitt in Seven) level.

The High Point: It's one of the few films that live up to its title. Unfortunately, this may be the worst title in motion picture history.

The Low Point: The title lies. There's no terror.

The Bottom Line: Aside from the previously mentioned cheesy music during a driving scene, and some unintentionally bad performances, this is a miss. It's very boring. VERY, VERY, VERY BORING.
