Buckout Road

Average horror with a terrible ending. Not worth it.

I've never seen Evan Ross in anything before this and never want to again. He's the worst. His irritating Kevin Hart voice and total lack of talent made it impossible to watch him. Add that to the rest of this ridiculously amateurish movie, and you end up with 90 excruciating minutes (which seemed like three hours) of pointless story, mediocre characters and not a single second of suspense, thrills or scares. Remember when bad movies at least had the sense to have their female stars strip off their clothes to give us some reason for watching? Movies like this need to start doing that again, because the script and acting aren't doing it.

It could have been real good, but never made it, the ending made the whole thing waste of time. Too bad it had potential. Stupid Ending.

I honored the acting (of many of the performers) and overall production values of this film with a 5. They had a nifty idea for a film, following a number of films of a "haunted road", and they added more to it to enrich the concept away from typical tropes. The problem I found with all these additions is that they didn't add up to anything whole. The film ultimately has a simple narrative that is a "surprise" at the end. Ho hum, not much of a surprise. The various elements become confusing as if they melded several short film ideas into this overall concept. And this led to characters having one dimensional qualities that didn't do justice to what they were experiencing. It is creepy enough that I wanted to see the whole film, but I started the crossword puzzle halfway through it.

I'd like to start out by saying @jdpark-29254 you need to go get some help buddy, you're wound up way too tight. To get that upset about pronouncing an old German guys name that I assure you most people haven't heard of unless they are specializing in his same field, well yeah you just need to see a professional or get laid or something I dunno.

On to the movie, it started out with a different spin on urban legends and what have you but then it got lost in itself and just deflated and fell flat in the end. I do my best to not put spoilers so you can read my warning to skip this particular movie before hand, doesn't do you any good after the fact lol. So, story? Nope. Acting? Actually was pretty good except for Ross, yeah Diana Ross's son. Terrible actor, terrible cast choice, very annoying, not to mention he has a girls voice. I kid you not, you can close your eyes and when he talks, you'd could argue it may be a girl talking. Everything was tolerable but, bad story and bad cast? Well you're pretty much done at that point anyway. I'd skip this one unless you are having trouble finding something to watch because this is still better than a lot of real stinkers I've seen sadly in the past. That's why I'm here though, my suffering to save you your precious and valuable time. Until my next review, keep the film rolling.
