Ditch

The acting is horrible, the dialog is horrible, the bloody scenes are horrible. This movie plays out like it was produced by a high school amateurs. The scariest part is the killer's looks...a skinny, homely pencil neck geek. Some friendly advice...DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! You're welcome.

My quick rating - 4,8/10. You don't always have to reinvent the wheel to get noticed. This movie takes a typical slasher approach, minus any super-human powers ala Jason or Michael but just an everyday person turned killer by circumstances. I won't go to much into that since it is part of a twist or two but the killer (revealed early in the film) is pushed over the edge and hunts down a group of young adults that are taking a day off school to party. Nitpicking this film would be far too easy but if you just sit back and take in the old school slasher that it is, you won't be disappointed, well, not much that is. The kills are fairly mundane and don't get focused on gore, which is fine. The killer (Bill Oberst Jr.) is pretty convincing in his role, often letting his facial expressions do the talking. I will say the "kids" in this film all but one act pretty stereotypical but the goth chick steps out of the norm (scene is pretty funny, all I will say about that). Worth a watch for slasher fans but don't use this to try to recruit a newbie to the genre since it doesn't wow you at all. For a small budget and a lot of newcomers from cast and crew, this is nicely done.

I liked this movie a lot. The thing I hated was how the officer hard to get within 2 inches close to everyone. All I can say is , you should give this movie a look.

When I stumbled upon this 2016 movie "Ditch" from director Joe Hendrick here in 2025, I had never heard about the movie. And the release that I had gotten a hold of was titled "Ditch Day Massacre", oddly enough. Regardless, with this being a horror movie, of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance.

I made it 31 minutes into the ordeal before I pulled the plug and gave up out of sheer and utter boredom. I virtually had no idea what was going on in the movie, aside from Vick Taddler, played by Bill Oberst Jr., just walking around randomly killing people. But everyone else in the movie was there for filling. They had no purpose or storylines to participate with. I have no idea what writers Daniel P. Coughlin and Ryan Coughlin were trying to accomplish with their script, but it failed miserably.

The only familiar faces on the cast list were Bill Oberst Jr., yeah I've watched enough low budget movies to be familiar with this guy, and Lynn Lowry whom had a far too small role in the movie. The acting performances in the movie were fair, I suppose. Not really a whole lot of in-depth acting going on from what I sat through.

This movie was a boring swing and a miss of a horror slasher. I will never return to attempt finish watching the movie, because I just simply didn't care one bit about the characters of the lacking storyline.

If you enjoy horror and slasher films, like I do, you need to wide "Ditch" a wide berth.

My rating of director Joe Hendrick's 2016 movie "Ditch" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

Quite possibly the worst horror movie I've seen, it's really that bad, hopeless acting, terrible script, poor production, it's neither scary, exciting, interesting, it has no purpose or reason to exist.

Obviously we understand horrors are silly at times but this movie takes it to a whole new level, from beginning to end I was thinking wtf. Having not looked into the maker's credentials I am willing to say they have no idea what it takes to produce a half-decent film and would be better off applying their 'skills' elsewhere, like perhaps an apple stall.

If you are interested in watching a very bad movie this one will satisfy completely.
