Un pont vers l'enfer

"Bridge to Nowhere" is a lame low-budget thriller about obnoxious, undifferentiated teens who go on a camping trip and run afoul of Bruno Lawrence as a violent, crazy hermit and the generic eighties teenage girl he inexplicably lives with, and seems to have a sexual relationship with. What is she doing there, and why does she dress, talk and act exactly like the campers, ie. like a generic '80s teen, not the hermit she's supposed to be?

The movie isn't scary or involving in the least, and the violence and special effects are pretty unconvincing. Sometimes it's even poorly edited, distracting you from what's going on, like a scene where you can hear gunshots, and the movie cuts back to the hermit, but he's not even aiming the gun, even though he's the one who is supposed to be shooting.

The hermit is played by the legendary Bruno Lawrence, a great New Zealand character actor, and he's the only good thing about this movie.
