Roadkill

Honestly, I could not imagine this being shown to a larger audience. That was how bad this horror/thriller film is. I have no problem with small-budget and independent movies with limited resources, but this one was so not well-made and not well-thought of. The plot and the story were sloppy and so weak that I bet the director just finished making it for the sake of it. The characters were not interesting enough and the performances were awful and underacted. Whoever were behind this movie have a lot to learn about filmmaking. I also could not understand the run of the story. It was confusing and a waste of time.

The hitch hiker who seemed to be crossed with Keanu Reeves and Russel Brand looked like he'd had a charisma bypass in this terrible and poorly directed flick. Not only could he not act to save his life, he couldn't even interact visually with the rest of the cast.

The rest of the cast were minutely better. The girl driver's roll seamed to be that she was trying to set a world record of sucking lolly pops and getting the wooden hitch hiker to remember his lines.

The rest of this hideous cast were archetypal rednecks, drawling their speech throughout this tin pot flick. If you can't act then don't make a movie !

I'd sooner give it 3 out of 567 billion. The dead turtle who she avoided on the road was the best actor in this awful flick. I can't reveal any spoilers cause there weren't anything to spoil.

This cinematic masterpiece was clearly crafted by a visionary who simply couldn't be bothered with film school. The plot twists were so unexpected, they left me wondering if I accidentally stumbled into an abstract art exhibit. The acting? Let's just say they delivered their lines with all the passion of a room temperature napkin.

Truly, cinema has peaked. Forget B-movies, this is a ZZZ-movie. I can only imagine the director, cackling maniacally as they unleashed this cinematic atrocity upon the world. But hey, at least it wasn't that long. A small consolation prize for the two hours of my life I'll never get back.

The acting is amateurish, the script same and the overdubbing blaringly present throughout.

The editing and camera work is competent but can not overcome the lagging pace and storyline.

I expect there is some promise with this direction/production team, and the actors probably deserve better scripting or commitment to the story. Unlikely to be awarded anything, I do hope these folks continue in the business because there is a lot of potential they might deliver something credible in the future. But don't expect to find a B movie here.

I think that 5 is the right score for this movie. It reminds me of late night B movies from the 90s. You don't go into it expecting life changing performances and deep commentary. It's just fun, mindless entertainment to enjoy some popcorn with.

The big negative I will give it is the horrendous dialogue. I almost hope that the screenwriter intentionally wrote the dialogue as they did in order to simulate the B movie, made for tv style that the film was obviously going for, because the actors certainly did not have much to work with. People don't talk like that.

I will also say that in the era of streaming services where you have unlimited options for something to throw on when you're bored, you probably have better options. Still, I found it fun and enjoyable and I'm glad I watched it even though I probably will never watch it again. As a child of the 80s, it gave me a bit of nostalgia, some eye candy and a fun 90 minutes of sex appeal, drugs and violence.

If you're in the mood for that type of flick then give it a watch. If you're looking for better dialogue and something that doesn't try to feel like a budget, made for tv movie from the early 90s then you want to pass.
