2001 Maniacs is a 2005 horror film directed by Tim Sullivan, starring Jay Gillespie, Dylan Edrington and Matthew Carey. It is a remake of the 1964 film Two Thousand Maniacs! written and directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis. The film is distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment.The Movie was filmed in Westville, GA a popular period reenactment town located in southern Georgia.
Eight yankee/prep college students travel south towards Daytona Beach for Spring Break, but a detour leads them into the seemingly idyllic Georgia town of Pleasant Valley (population 2001), which is holding a "Guts and Glory Jubilee" in honor of the American Civil War. While they stay in the town, completely isolated from the outside world, they are systematically separated and killed in gory fashion by the town's residents. Two students manage to escape, but upon alerting the authorities they learn that "Pleasant Valley" is nothing but a cemetery - a memorial for 2001 Confederate villagers who were massacred 150 years earlier in the Civil War. A plaque reveals that the town's residents will not rest until the crime has been paid back on the Yankees: 2001 must be killed... an eye for an eye.
