spookyfooks Is actually not bad small horror movie. The way they made the movie is a little peculiar style but I think it worked, considering it seem meant as purely entertainment. I thought scary in parts and I particular like use of cinema technique, screen "wipe", "split screen" and such elements taken from the 1970s movies and some twisty plot. The result is often enjoyable B movie style, with some mixed results bad and good. The main character deliver a good anti-hero performance but must be 'dumb girl' to make it work, or maybe the point is girl is making all wrong decisions in emergency situation due to panic. After hour of a suspense game with some gore elements, the action kicks to a crazy revenge story, which for me is best part of last 30 minutes. Mostly it succeeds to defy the convention in low key manner, while still use some typical horror thriller formula styles. You may have to check your sense of logic at the door for some of it, but this is weird movie.
chaseanace In some ways routine and in some ways interesting, this splatter heavy horror flick at least doesn't skimp on thrills. It stars Laura Breckenridge as Mary, who during Spring Break has a little too much to drink. During her drive home she unknowingly strikes a man and he gets stuck on her bumper - which she doesn't realize until she gets home. Acting out of pain and rage, he lashes out at her and she whacks at him with a golf club hard enough to finish him off - or so she thinks.While it does succumb to the genre cliché of having a "villain" who's hard to kill, it does work in terms of a story where things just keep spiraling out of control. Neither main character is completely sympathetic, which does help. And neither character is completely one-dimensional. Unfortunately, "Hit and Run" is one of those modern genre flicks that goes for the flamboyant visual a little too often, for example, camera angles and editing. This really wasn't necessary. Credit needs to go to the director, Enda McCallion, in one respect. This film never ever stops moving; the pacing is excellent. "Hit and Run" might be some things, but boring isn't one of them. It's basically decent, gory and visceral entertainment. It's a dark film but is still rather compelling and never goes too far over the top. It even has the nerve not to have a standard, clichéd ending. The acting is acceptable in the main roles, with Kevin Corrigan - a guy you may have seen in films ranging from "GoodFellas" to "The Departed" to "Pineapple Express" - doing fine as the sullen, disturbed antagonist. Overall, it's perfectly watchable and maintains a good energy level for 84 minutes.
elybellybum123 I have seen Turkish Star Wars. I have seen Ishtar. I have seen Uwe Boll movies. There aren't words to describe the experience of watching this film. And by film I mean the theatrical equivalent of watching a mother cope with the moment she realizes her child is still-born. This may be the worst rip-off of a rip-off of a rip-off movie ever made. The bleeding phone scene is forever etched in my memory. Apparently other people enjoy this film. This makes me want to kill myself. It truly does. I feel like going into the bathroom and breaking the mirror to use a shard of glass to make shallow cuts along my arm. I refuse to actually describe the plot because that would be analogous to contracting the Hanta Virus and then sneezing on you. Feel free to watch this film. If you like it then you should know not to ever express an opinion on a movie again. Ever. Yours Truly, Will Thoreau
Jade First part of this movie Hit and Run is basically a thriller with some horror elements. Mary Murdock, a young college girl comes back from a late night of partying with buddies. On her way home, she is singing along to music and does not notice a tire in the road. She swerves to miss it. When she hears noises in her garage that night, she's horrified to find a man stuck on the bumper. He is barely alive, bleeding and mangled. She tries to help him but he wants to grab her leg, so she beats him with a golf club. She buries the body in some nearby woods.In the morning she tries to cover up all the evidence of the crime, but she gets more paranoid and feels she is being watched. She starts going off the deep end and doing more and more insane things. She tells her boyfriend about what happened and he participates in the cover up. He tells her to keep mum until the media fest dies down. Without giving away too much, it comes about that the dead guy (who is called Emser and is a bi polar school teacher) comes back to stalk Mary. Rick her boyfriend ends up dead.At this point, the movie shifts gears into something like surreal horror. Many events start to feel disconnected as if we are in Mary's anxiety dream. Emser stabs her and then in continuing the act of revenge ties her to front of the car and drives her around empty highways scaring the living hell out of her. He then takes her back to his house and leaves her in the garage, like she did to him. More murders take place by Emser and when he takes Mary to bury her in the same grave, things take another turn when she gets away and another hit and run is going to happen, this one a purposeful one.In this second half, the thriller suspense gives way toward more grotesque fantastical horror elements.The movie somehow manages to blend these different styles into a somewhat coherent curious package.
