Carnage Road

I must say that I hate these cheaply shot direct to video turds. They are most often found on the DVD multi-packs with 3 other crappy movies from the same company. On one hand I respect the little guys trying to make fun horror movies. I just wish they weren't so bad. This one is particularly awful. The acting, especially by the lead male, is ham at its worst. It is clear that the actors are given very little to work with, often asked to draw scenes out well beyond their logical conclusion. The premise of "quiltface" lacks any imagination at all, and we are given no reason to feel suspense, let alone horror. I'm not even sure why I am reviewing this as a normal movie. It plays like a sub-par film school project, and should be treated as such.

This movie is so bad. One thing is this movie called "Carnage: Legend of Quiltface" or is it "Carnage Road". If you look closely. You will see that for some small changes it's a copy of "Camp Blood". Which stinks by itself. Not to mention the rotten ending. A horror doesn't have to have a bad ending just to be a horror movie. It's jsut sloppy writing, just to have a mess of sequels. Here's a hint. If it's made by "Brain Damage Films" then I pass if I were you.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best)

I give "CARNGAE ROAD"

-100 STARS

After years of hard work as a prominent Director/Writer in Los Angeles, working with stars like Erik Estrada, Jan Michael Vinncent and Saban Entertainment I have seen hundreds upon hundreds of films.

Massimiliano Cerchi: has a raw talent that screams out from the very screen his movies play on. Carnage road shows, that Las Vegas is a Lost oasis of un-harnsed talent just waiting to explode! The Locations, acting and Direction show more than enthusiasm, but also radiant talent that could possibly make the million dollar leap into major distribution with companys like Artisan or Miramax.

After seeing this film I myself am convinced that Las Vegas is the new British Columbia of the future and Cerchi has shown us this with films like Hellinger and Carange Road.

I anxiously await to see the future that lies ahead of these talented digital filmmakers from the desert oasis known as Las Vegas Nevada, "Where I actually was born myself"

Show them more Massimiliano Cerchi,

Sincerely: Robert RUndle

This is the worst film I have seen in a very, very long time. Perhaps EVER. As an independent filmmaker (currently at work on my first major feature length movie, CONQUEST OF AREA 52), I know how hard it is to make movies with little to spend. But I was making better movies as a Sophomore in high school with $50 in my wallet as a budget than this pathetic excuse for a "movie." I'm not sure if I have ever seen a movie shot this poorly or with such little ambition, creativity, or craft. It looks like it was shot on Hi-8 Video (I shoot in DV and would be shocked if this was actually DV), and to no good effect. The "props" and "mask" in the film look very familiar... like I just saw them at my local Spencer's. The script lacks wit, and the performances do nothing to help it. And did I mention this has got to be the WORST camerawork I have ever seen (with the exception of BLAIR WITCH, which was SUPPOSED to look the way it did, and my family's home movies)?! There is no sense of logic or craft to how it was shot, whoever was at the helm must have been asleep at the wheel or he really just did not care what it looked like. There is no indication in this film that the cameraman had any idea what words like "framing" or "composition" meant.

The fact that our serial killer Quiltface is able to stand 20 feet from several people in the middle of the open desert and not be seen does NOT work in any fashion- camp nor horror- and best explains the rest of the movie.

I'm sorry, makers of "Carnage Road" (or "Carnage: The Legend of Quiltface" as the video cover says), but if you ever go out and try to make a movie again, please, PLLLEEEEASE do it with a little care, if not TALENT.

At least Ed Wood could have made this fun to watch.

More people need to see this flick. Straight up. It is honestly the worst movie I have ever seen. I mean, I know kids in high school putting out better stuff than this. Please vote this in as number one. If you've seen it, then you can testify; horrible. Plain and simple. This is the type of film that makes Ed Wood's work look like Scorsese! The fact that I found this film by chance all the better. The only thing that sucks is that I threw it in the frigging dumpster right after I watched it. It was that bad.

Because looking back. I shouldn't have tossed it. I wish I could've saved this little anti-gem. Such an officious item should be cared for much better than that. I tell you just see it and tell me, honestly that you have seen anything worse. This thing could make Crossover look like Hoosiers. Sorry about all the metaphors, but to give a dissertation on this film would be pointless. It couldn't even use the simple, basic, run of the mill formula BS that has been used in horror flicks for aeon's now. How any producer could actually screen this and say; "Wow fellas this is an awesome movie. Lets actually try to sell this turd!" Come on! Crossover, Anne Beans and Franks Be Real. Whatever! You ain't got nothing on this!!
