Roadkill

Honestly, I could not imagine this being shown to a larger audience. That was how bad this horror/thriller film is. I have no problem with small-budget and independent movies with limited resources, but this one was so not well-made and not well-thought of. The plot and the story were sloppy and so weak that I bet the director just finished making it for the sake of it. The characters were not interesting enough and the performances were awful and underacted. Whoever were behind this movie have a lot to learn about filmmaking. I also could not understand the run of the story. It was confusing and a waste of time.

This cinematic masterpiece was clearly crafted by a visionary who simply couldn't be bothered with film school. The plot twists were so unexpected, they left me wondering if I accidentally stumbled into an abstract art exhibit. The acting? Let's just say they delivered their lines with all the passion of a room temperature napkin.

Truly, cinema has peaked. Forget B-movies, this is a ZZZ-movie. I can only imagine the director, cackling maniacally as they unleashed this cinematic atrocity upon the world. But hey, at least it wasn't that long. A small consolation prize for the two hours of my life I'll never get back.

I gave this a 2 rating and even that was being generous. The one single thing going for it is that it has a hot actress. That's it. That's all. But she can't act.

The story is terrible. It is terribly shot. I don't even think the movie was coloured. I have a thing for low budget independent movies. I will rate them higher than I would if I can tell there was effort put into it. This one, that doesn't apply. It reminds me of a movie shot by a group of high school students.

I have it a shot and didn't shut it off, watching the whole thing. But it didn't get better. It just got worse. 90 minutes I'll never get back.

I knew by the title it was going to be a B movie so I started watching with no expectations. However early on 2 children come out of the forest, Bakari Blocton and another boy. Their acting was natural as is true for most kids. That was the last time there was any acting in the film.

The plot was OK, female driver not what she seems, picks up male drifter also not what he seems and they have adventures. The story is an old one and nothing wrong with it, but the screenplay is shall we say...lacking? The dialogue seems to have been written by some 5 year olds and the acting is exactly what you'd expect from a B-C movie. There's not too much blood and gore but the action scenes might make you chuckle.

The props are poor, sets are poor, cinematography is poor and direction is poor. However if you love a good bad movie, and are in it for the laughs, it's not a bad watch, I've seen better but I've seen a lot worse too.

I was going to give it a 1 but I made it too just because Caitlin Carmichael looks like heaven in her jeans...

I think that 5 is the right score for this movie. It reminds me of late night B movies from the 90s. You don't go into it expecting life changing performances and deep commentary. It's just fun, mindless entertainment to enjoy some popcorn with.

The big negative I will give it is the horrendous dialogue. I almost hope that the screenwriter intentionally wrote the dialogue as they did in order to simulate the B movie, made for tv style that the film was obviously going for, because the actors certainly did not have much to work with. People don't talk like that.

I will also say that in the era of streaming services where you have unlimited options for something to throw on when you're bored, you probably have better options. Still, I found it fun and enjoyable and I'm glad I watched it even though I probably will never watch it again. As a child of the 80s, it gave me a bit of nostalgia, some eye candy and a fun 90 minutes of sex appeal, drugs and violence.

If you're in the mood for that type of flick then give it a watch. If you're looking for better dialogue and something that doesn't try to feel like a budget, made for tv movie from the early 90s then you want to pass.
