The Trip

A very fun light horror film. Great story line. Original storyline. Good direction and character development. This movie was an un-expected joy. The violence was low key. Good action film. I could tell the budget to make this film was not to big, but the final outcome is commendable. The director Mark Cross is someone I've never heard from before but I feel if he had the right budget this film would have been on the big screen. I am waiting to see what Mark comes up with next. This is a film where one would sit down with the kids on a Saturday nite with home made popcorn and kool aid to have a nice scary nite together

This movie was bad. When I first found it, I thought maybe it was an "advanced" copy of the hell ride coming out soon, but I was very mistaken. I'm not sure when the name changed from the trip to hell ride, but I had to look up the director/writer to find this movie. Anyhow, The feel of this movie was like watching a college level production, with a little more money involved.

The crazy driver honking his horn over and over as he chased the kids got on my nerves. The only thing good about this movie was.... ..... The brief breast flash of the ghost girl. THATS IT! If this movie was on HBO 3 or something and you have time to kill waiting for the paint to dry in your bedroom, then this is a great movie to sit down and watch!

OK, let me start by telling you a little about myself. I've been a member of IMDb for 10 years now. In all that time I've NOT ONCE posted a comment about a movie.

BUT .... THIS MOVIE ..... NEEDS A REVIEW.

This movie is quite possibly the worst movie in existence. The story is old and the acting is... well..... ATROCIOUS!!! I've not seen acting this bad since ... Well, if I'm frank I've NEVER seen acting this bad.

In small places the acting is almost passable, but they only stand out because the majority of the acting is beyond a joke.

The dude that plays Carl in this movie (Larry Bagby) is by far the worst actor in it. I actually checked out his IMDb profile as my instant reaction was ' I bet he hasn't or won't do much more than this movie'. To my ultimate horror I see that he's actually done a vast amount of work as an actor. To say I'm shocked is an understatement.

Let me put it this way. If you've ever dreamt of being an actor, or even if you've failed miserably at being an actor ... HANG IN THERE!!! .... If this guy can make a living out of it, then ANYONE can.

Unfortunately, none of the other cast could actually carry him, so it let the bad story, awful script down.

Please, I beg of you .... AVOID THIS MOVIE!!!! You'll never get that 1hr and 25 minutes of your life back!!!!

Shot for 50,000 dollars...this is a great low budget horror film. anyone who disses it must be an idiot. On the commentary the director said this was his first film and that he had not gone to film school. I think he was a computer science major. The movie has car chases and crashes with a budget like this... unbelievable. If you think this movie sucks then try making your own for 40k and see how difficult it is. All you have to do is listen to the commentary and you will understand the problems that occur on a budget this low. The acting was sub-par, but altogether I take my hat off to such an effort for a first time film maker with almost no budget and so many stunts. This was like his student film

You're not likely to see this playing at the cinema. I don't think it'll be showing on TV. The only place you're likely to find this laughable "film" is at the video store. If you do happen across it there, whatever you do, don't rent it. Doing so would put a few cents in Mark Cross' pocket and encourage him to make more "films".

I've seen some pathetically amateur films in recent times; up till now, 'San FranPsycho' took the cake as the worst. I now consider it dethroned by this piece of crap.

Film School Project is actually being rather kind. If I were teaching the class this was submitted to, I would give it a D-.
