Breakdown Lane

This film begins with a young woman named "Kirby Lane" (Whitney Moore) driving somewhere in the southwest when her car breaks down in the middle of the desert. Since her car is equipped with Northstar she calls them up and talks to a service representative named "Max" (Kevin Tye) who advises her to stay in her car and wait for a tow truck. Not long afterward, however, he tells her that he is having some difficulty getting a tow truck because of some strange events happening in that area. Little does she know that a zombie apocalypse has just occurred and society has completely collapsed. What follows is her attempt to stay alive with little food and water in a desert landscape inhabited by lawless gangs and ravenous zombies. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off real well but got bogged down somewhere after the first 30 minutes or so and never really recovered after that. That said, although I give the directors (Bob Schultz and Robert Conway) credit for not turning it into yet another zombie-comedy that seeks to become "so bad it's good" it still could have used a lot more depth and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

Wow! and not in a good way. Amazing! Amazingly crap. Seriously, this is unbelievable in so many ways.

This movie sucks!!! There's so many things wrong with this movie that I can't even begin to describe it. Time out of my life that I can't get back😒 It started out ok initially, but the more it went on the more absurd it got. Bloopers that weren't edited out, plot points that made absolutely no sense. I know the budget was low, but that's no excuse. Plenty of low budget movies have become classics due to the time and sincere effort that was put in. This was just a sloppy, lazily made mess that a bunch of high school kids could have put together. Maybe they were high school kids, who really knows.😂

There's like 15 good minutes of footage in this whole film...other than that...meh. It's higly forgettable. I don't know if it deserves this 2.7 rating? That seems a bit too low. But it definitely could have been a LOT better.

Not a gem exactly, but well not awful 3 stars too, because its not that bad if you love 80th zombie movie. Actually this movie looks very much like "The Dead Next Door", maybe not so complicated (yes, lol, I know, for B-movie), but have same aura. And I think its sort of road movie - this is always plus for modern zombie films. And yes, story there very simplistic, action parts weak (but watchable), soundtrack (I mean main theme) is a joke, but anyway this film can be a hidden gem in a distant future.
