What does one get when you mix an androgenous "Boy George"-channeling female lead, unsettling nudity, lack of diversity and a small non-threatening wooden wall decoration? Apparently, you get funded by Image Entertainment to make a direct-to-video cultural abomination titled "Tiki".
Synopsis:
When Amy moves from her beloved Hawaiian Islands to study drama on the mainland, she has little cause to rejoice as a gang of vicious co-eds plots to make her life a living hell. WIth the aid of their boyfriends, the girls set Amy up as the target of a horrendous prank that results in the young girl falling victim to a brain seizure from which she may never recover. Seeking answers, her aunt Maelea arrives with a special Tiki doll -- specially designed to kill! Through magic, she coaxes Amy's subconscious spirit to enter the idol's body and bring it to hideous life. Now the idol tracks down the students one by one to exact its grisly revenge in a relentless assault of Tiki terror!
This movie taught a few key lessons about Hawai'i, polynesian culture and the overall whiteness of every locale in this movie:

This movie taught a few key lessons about Hawai'i, polynesian culture and the overall whiteness of every locale in this movie:
- There is no need to establish location, time or even characters during the opening scene of a film
- AVM's (atriovenous malformations) are completely genetically inherited and you are fucked if either of your parents had one
- You no longer need to be pretty, or even identifiably female, to be the lead in a direct-to-video film
- I once thought all breasts were attractive at some level. I stand corrected.
- Native Hawai'i religion is Voodoo and largely practiced by obese women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
- The only thing better than a scene with two lesbians making out is one with THREE lesbians making out
I have had splinters bigger than this thing
This is the opening scene and I have no idea who this character is
This is totally not referring to my penis. Seriously. I'm not kidding.
