Last of the Fangoria Frightfest movies!




Road Kill I enjoyed this one for the most part. I will say that I didn't think the acting was all that good and I could have cared less what happened to any of the characters. It kinda gave me the feeling of Joy ride meeds Maximum Over Drive (amazing movie by the way), so I did like where the story line was going. It is a little boring at times but nothing major. I just think maybe this one could have been done a bit better. Four young friends on a camping adventure are run off the road by an erratically driven road train  (a massive two-trailer truck). With their own vehicle wrecked and the road train stopped, the friends march off to vent their anger at the driver. But the truck is empty. Suddenly, the silence is broken by the sound of gunshots. To escape, the friends commandeer the road train. What they discover inside the vehicle s trailers proves more terrifying than anything out there on that lonely road. I give this one a 7/10.



Hunger : I will be honest, I did not watch more than 15 minutes. It started and I didn't feel it at all. Seriously after the longest 15 minutes ever I could not watch any more. I might have needed to give this one a better shot but I can tell you that normally I will finish a crappy movie just to know how it ends. But this one I don't even care. So no rating on this one. A dark exploration into the breakdown of humanity. How far would you go to survive in the most extreme of circumstances? Five strangers awaken to find themselves trapped in an underground dungeon. They soon realize they are the subjects of one man's sadistic experiment to test the depths of a human being's will to survive. As the days go by with no means of escape, their hunger increases as their humanity fades away.
