The story begins as a group of college students attend Raccoon Creek Campground in hopes of having the best summer break of their lives. But after encountering obnoxious frat guys, backwoods hippies, overzealous bible students, and an incompetent group of camp administrators that could put any government official to shame, chances for a successful vacation look slim. Things only get worse as it is soon discovered that killer raccoons have targeted the camp with the intention to wreak havoc, destruction, and hilarity!

Lo-fi comic horror distributed by everyones favorite low grade film company Troma. We kick off like Jaws, with a moonlight couple making out. Only the female gets her boob's torn off by something rustling in the bushes, cut to titles which features a redneck song about raccoons. The films set in the outback hunting camp grounds of Raccoon Creek, a area filled with deliverance styled dumbed down comic residents and its visiting drunken holiday making students. When one of the students gets bumped off, and with a little push courtesy of a promise of sex for the hero who kills the coon. The town decide to go on a coon hunt. The films got a few comic musical numbers and some dumb laughs in-keeping with its micro low cost. Thankfully at only 80 mins it flows along pretty quickly. Pretty average but if you're in the mood for a mindless giggle then knock yourself out heaps better than alot of other troma releases.
