Deadly Detour

I honestly have no words to describe how unbelievably terrible and wasteful the last 75 minutes of my life have been watching this. I got it for £5 and thought it would be a funny film to watch and didn't have high expectations going into to it, If you see it for cheap and think 'it will be worth a laugh' you're wrong just save yourself the money and go buy a packet of cigarettes it will be better for your health. Not to mention the ridiculous sound and deaths in the film just the entire atmosphere within the film itself was on par with with what you leave in the toilet after your first cup of coffee in the morning. I believe on the box it states 'Gore fans will love this' you won't, you will hate it with every fibre of your being and wish you spent the last hour and 15 minutes of your life eating glass, it truly is terrible, 1/10 is generous. Do not buy !

I do believe the only reason this title is actually rates so low is because of the bad promotion to the release straight to DVD. The scenes that were sexual were compassionate and touching and the murder felt real and gruesome. I was pinned to my seat the whole time. The goatman was terrifying and the make up was so life like. I saw the cost of the production was around $200 which means the actors didn't get paid. But they deserve so much credit for releasing this title without payment. I wouldn't be surprised to see a select few on stage or starting with other top stars soon. I advise you to ignore all other reviews and watch this gripping, dramatic, dark and scary film. You will NOT be disappointed. 10/10!!!!!

P.s if you watched this off the back of my review and you came back. YOUV'VE BEEN CURSED!!!!!!!!!

I purchased this film for my best friend for Christmas on play for 6.99, as we love cheesy scary movies. However, this film is a lie. Everything about it is terrible. The box has an actual goatman on it, whereas in the film, the villain looks like the beast man from The Goonies. Not to mention the title of the film isn't actually The Goatman Murders, but in fact Deadly Detour. We were conned.

The sex scenes are terrible, the actors are woeful - the only one believable as an actor is the fat guy. Mike O'Mahony has an awful lot to answer for, he has ruined film in less than 90 minutes, Hitchcock must be rolling in his grave.

Falsely advertised piece of dirt. Avoid at all costs or you will lose all faith in film making as a whole.

UK title - The Goatman Murders. The British DVD cover is quite misleading as it shows a half human/half goat creature but in fact the Goatman is one ugly looking dude, a bit like a smaller unmasked Jason Vorhees. Mind you he's better looking than one of the kids, a stoner who looks like Ed Sheeran! The opening scene is very gory but then we get 30 minutes of 20 somethings' car breaking down in the backwoods, so they pass the time by drinking beer, smoking weed and having sex, which is all quite entertaining. Then Goatman appears and the rest is a gorefest! This is obviously a very low budget movie, the picture and sound quality is not great and the acting is very amateur (though I have seen far worse). The gore is quite extreme, given the budget the special effects aren't bad at all. No horrible CGI either. There is plenty of bad taste, one scene has a mentally handicapped man eating excrement (surely fake!?) at a service station, there are gay jokes galore and Goaty boards a school bus and slaughters all of the blind passengers. When I first watched this it had me in stitches of laughter, the second viewing didn't have quite the same effect but even so, with a few beers, I still found this to be a silly, bloody and enjoyable fun slasher flick. DVD runtime - 68m.

This movie is nothing more than a "Home Made" movie produced with a generic camera and very amateur effects. This film is an insult to the Horror genre. I made the mistake of walking into my local ASDA (Wal Mart for you Americans) and looking at the cover thinking it could have potential. Big mistake. I feel violated. Please people, DO NOT view this movie, you have better things to do. This piece of trash lacks any story, acting and meaning. I have had more enjoyable experiences like jumping into a bunch of nettles with no clothes on than the experience of watching this rubbish. One thing is for sure, the local dump it site will be having a great time incinerating this rubbish.
