Road Kill review

I recently rented and watched Road Kill, another film in the Fangoria Frightfest film series. Having had a positive experience with Dark House, I figured it was worth a shot. This was not the case, however.

Road Kill is unoriginal in plot, borrowing heavily from Joy Ride, Duel and the like. Group of attractive friends piss off a trucker who runs them off road. Upon investigating the truck, the gang gets shot at and ends up hijacking the truck. Gradually the truck, which naturally happens to be evil, starts to turn them all against one another.

Now, the acting is horrid. There is literally no good performance to be had from anyone involved in this production. The effects-non existent. There is literally next to no gore in this film and all the "action" takes place off screen. Plot holes are a plenty and literally nothing is explained in the end. In fact, the ending leaves only more questions, and not in a good way.

In short, while a film like Inception may leave us with questions, they're fun to think about. This movie leaves us with questions like "who the hell thought this was a good script?" Don't waste your time or money.


Highlight Scene: There was one decent scene in which the engine of the truck destroys a human body. The credits would be a close second.
