I'm not entirely sure why they called this movie 'Sweet 16'. There was a sweet sixteen birthday party near the end of the movie, and they sort of tied it to the plot, but really this movie was just a straight-forward slasher film where a few people get murdered and everyone else has to wonder who did it. Racial tension in a small bar lead some to believe it was a local Native American man. Despite the evidence, the Sheriff knows better, and he suspects the parents of a girl whose boyfriend was one of the people killed. During the aforementioned party, we're shown the true killer and fed a fairly bogus story as to why. Recommended for slasher completists but not really anyone else.
