Two women decide to take a trip to one of their dad's remote summer homes, only things get out of control when a creepy mask wearing guy tries to run them off the road. The two women soon find out the rural island doesn't take strongly to strangers coming, and they turn a blind eye on a local gang of three masked maniacs. Fortunatly one of the girls manages to contact her dad who lives 15 miles away, but can he make it in time to save her life.

Made in a very glossy grindhouse manner, it trys to rehash the 70's slasher, even to point of trying to market it as being banned in 47 country's. It's trouble is because it takes a 'play it out for the action' and not 'for its story' approach, Death Stop Holocaust feels lacking and hollow. There's zero character depth for either the victims, the dad or any of towns folk and killers. Still worth seeing, it runs under an hour and half and holds its tension pretty well.
