Detour

This movie has pretty much the same plot line as wrong turn (minus that fact it takes place in the desert and the characters are in search of a pot field). The best part of the entire movie is probably seeing the main cannibal, who looks like Mr. Clean's brother who was locked in an unventilated room while mixing cleaning products. The worse character in possibly the history of movies is the white kid who fronts as a thug. I can honestly say that after being introduce to this character I wish every second after that to see his untimely demise.

There were some good effects and the actual camera shots weren't that bad considering their budget. Also the extras on the DVD were pretty amusing as well (especially the auditions for each character). Being a college educated individual and in the process of finishing my major and attending grad school I know that I can fall back on B movie acting if I don't get hired right away.

This movie got a 4 from me because it did have its moments. My roommates and I were laughing throughout the movie and were able to predict what was going to happen and the order that the characters would be taken out. But like I stated before, if you are forced to rent this movie for any more than one dollar you should simply tell the cashier at your local video store to pay you for removing this movie from their presence.

Okay, yes, obviously this is a rip-off of "The Hills Have Eyes." Let's accept it and move on. Most movies these days are ripping off something else, and if the studios can get away with it, so can the indies. But this flick transcends the stigma of "low-budget-straight-to-video-horror-rip-off" for the simple reason that it is incredibly entertaining! Simply put, this is a fun movie to watch. It takes the hackneyed set-up of a bunch of kids taking a shortcut into cannibal mutant territory and delivers it in a fast, interesting, and completely watchable way. Besides the tacked-on opening, I have no gripes with this movie. The cast, the script, the direction, and even the cinematography are all above par, especially given all of our pre-conceived notions about this genre. From start to finish, it's a fun ride (and the Loopz character is a special treat). Plus, the DVD has some good bonus features (the commentary is great). Seriously, if you're a horror fan (especially of 80's slashers, which we all love to love I guess), you're not gonna go wrong with this one. Joe Bob would say check it out.

DETOUR is not only an extremely poor clone of THE HILLS HAVE EYES. It also contains one of the most annoying, idiotic characters to be found in any horror movie.

Ever!

You'll know who it is as soon as he opens his mouth and utters his fabricated "urban slang". Basically, he's a hillbilly type with delusions of being a gangster. He's pitiful and as painfully irritating as a bad case of Shingles!

As for the movie itself, it's about more young, beautiful stickwomen and male models in danger. They're threatened by some very nonthreatening, desert-dwelling "cannibals" that look more like tourists who might have wandered onto the set by accident.

There is no suspense, terror, or originality to be found here...

WOW... could a movie suck more. Beside horrible acting, the plot it self sucked. Do Not Watch This Movie it is a waste of 2 hours. Never once will u be scared, if u wanna laugh, u can watch so u can make fun of the girl with the long blonde hair who couldn't act if her life depended on it. My God... who the hell payed for this movie to be made, a five year old could write a better movie than this. Not only has this movie been done 80 times before, from 2000 Maniacs, to Texas Chainsaw, Wrong Turn, Campfire Tells, or House of 1000 Corpses all with the same plot of DON"T TAKE A WRONG TURN. O GEEZ, and the talking/script was written in the most unreal speech. You would think that the actors in this movie would say NO ONE IN REAL LIFE WOULD TALK THIS WAY or that some one on the crew would say THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO SUCK, or This is retarded. LISTEN TO ME GANG... Don't See This Movie-- IT SUCKS... A lot!

Low budget or no budget horror flick that is so damn dumb you can't help yourself from watching. A grisly and gruesome fate is in store for a group of teen rebel-rousers in an RV borrowed without permission. The seven ravers find their partying days coming to an agonizing end when they turn off the highway in search of a secret cache of peyote hidden in the dessert. The scantly clad group still reeling from the rave the night before crash their RV and find themselves the targets of drug-addicted, bloodthirsty cannibals. Slash, chop and poke...blood drips, splatters and oozes. Most of the foul language comes from an obnoxious white boy gansta wannabee. Tight butt gripping shorts liven the dessert scenery and adds a little sex appeal other than some lesbian groping and horny, sizzling grinding on a hot rock.

This straight to video trip of violence and gore features: Aaron Buer, Kelsey Wedeen, Brent Taylor, Jessica Osfar and Renee Madison Cole.
