Shuttle - L'ultima Corsa Verso L'Oscurità

Shuttle was a good thrille/horror. But one that was very crushing especailly getting to the climax of the movie. This film follows two woman mel, and jules played by peyton list and cameron goodman. They have just got off a flight and a mysterious shuttle driver offers them a lift for half the price of the other one. They jump on as well as two men that were eyeing them up. And a man with a briefcase. You know things are going to go well and so they end up in danger. There is a lot of suspense throughout and good acting, especially on peyton lists part. Overall shuttle is a good but brutal movie that makes you relize not everyhting can turn out happy.

I've just finished watching this movie and as always I refuse to give too much away on the plot and characters so here is my simple review.

The good points - Original plot, very acceptable acting by mostly unknown actors and OK direction by first time director Edward Anderson on a low budget. The bad points - Not enough time spent getting to know the characters i feel the movie could have spent the first 20 - 30 minutes getting to know about the characters, very poor colour and lighting in this movie everything seemed to have a pale complexion, its got your usual don't do that, why did he/she do that scenarios for thriller/horrors.

All in all could have been better maybe seemed a little too long based on the fact that there was no character development at all.

Average

Try and enjoy if you do watch it though.

On the surface, 'Shuttle' looks like it's going to be one of those slightly laughable high-concept movies like 'P2' - kids get on the wrong airport shuttle bus and all hell breaks loose. You'd be forgiven for expecting little more than incompetently handled third-rate genre clichés. This is one of those rare instances when you'd be wrong. Defying all the odds, writer/director Edward Anderson manages to craft a tightly structured thriller with a genuine sense of mounting dread and performances well above the norm for straight-to-DVD fodder. He's able to create some sequences of real tension and displays more talent and understanding of the mechanics of suspense than many more experienced directors. I, for one, found the story involving, the protagonists likable, and enough unexpected reveals to keep me guessing 'till the very end as to the true nature of the crime being perpetrated. All in all, 'Shuttle' is a solid horror-thriller that chooses suspense over violence, and does so admirably well for such an inexperienced director. I've no idea what Anderson's been doing in the three years since making this movie, but I hope his evident talents won't go ignored much longer.

On the whole, SHUTTLE is a perverse and mean-spirited motion picture, yet the powerful final moments of the film are truly sensational but diabolical none the less. The movie begins with two weary young women who have just ended their Mexican vacation, and need a ride back to town. They board the airport shuttle bus, and are taken hostage along with the other passengers. How will this divergent group free themselves from their psychotic abductor? The plot is straight-forward to the point of banality, yet here is where the story begins to lose plausibility. The fiendish driver takes them on a late night journey that seems endless and lasts most of the night. It really stretches credulity that no one would notice this out-of-control bus, and it would seem that they would have encountered more traffic if the airport had been located in the wilderness of Alaska. Their malevolent driver is menacing to the extreme, and a maximum of physical and psychological torture is dispatched. It is only in the final few minutes that the true motive for the kidnapping is revealed, and this electrifying final impression of abject loss makes the suspension of believe just about worth it.

I have never even heard about this movie and I decided to give it a watch and Im sure glad I did. The acting is not bad and the storyline is believable. Not what I thought it was going to be but still a good movie. Ignore what everyone says about the ending its one of the best parts. Its their opinion because they get sad.

This movie is about 2 friends at the airport on their way back from Mexico. They meet two guys at the airport and they decide to spend sometime together. They catch a shuttle bus to take them into town but the shuttle does not take them to town. The driver takes them on a detour...

This movie was good. It was thrilling and very believable. New original story that has not been done before.
