4	Diablo, the leader of a motorcycle gang, is convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of a young woman. He defiantly snaps at the victim's sister that he's innocent and he'll be back for revenge.
5
6	A year after the execution, murders start happening in the middle of Spring Break festivities, and they all involve the victim being electrocuted, just like a certain gang leader.

8	----
9	!!This work contains examples of:
10	%% * AllMenArePerverts: Besides the hotel voyeur, Ronnie is the most obvious example.
11	%% * AssholeVictim: The guy using a peephole to watch Gail and other guests change clothes.
12	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The killer attaches a live wire to the antenna of Trina's headphones, slowly cooking her. Another victim gets a live wire shoved down her throat, and another is chained in front of a furnace and slowly burned alive.
13	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:The medical examiner shots himself in the head after more of the killings are exposed. He does it from a mixture of guilt at his complacency and shame from potentially losing his license.]]
14	* {{Fanservice}}: It's Spring Break. Shirtless dudes and wet tee contests abound.
15	%% * GraveRobbing: Diablo's body goes missing just before the murders start.
16	%% * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: The killer's own specially modified motorcycle does him in when it crashes and electrocutes him like his victims.]]
17	* HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday: All of the murders are set during Spring Break week in Florida.
18	* MalevolentMaskedMen: The killer spends most of the movie in a mirrored motorcycle helmet to hide his identity. [[spoiler: Trina, the girlfriend of Diablo, is the first to realize it's not him, not that this does her any good.]]
19	* ObstructiveBureaucrat: The police try to keep the murders out of the news to keep panic down. Once the bodies start showing up in public places, they're out of luck.
20	* RabidCop: Strycher, played by slasher veteran Creator/JohnSaxon, cements himself as a real asshole in his very first scene by cheerily describing Diablo's execution as "like roasting a turkey." He soon does everything in his power to keep the murders covered up instead of actually looking for the killer, jailing innocent people and threatening anyone who tries to argue against him.
21	%% * ShooOutTheClowns: Ronnie going missing is what gets the main characters involved in the murders.
22	* SinisterMinister: [[spoiler: The real killer is a local Reverend, railing against the "debauchery" of Spring Break.]]
23	%% * SlasherMovie: Made as such, though most of the victims are getting zapped instead of slashed.
24	%% * WeaponizedCar: Well, motorcycle. The killer has one that has an electric chair built in.
