JaniceNicole I didn't have high hopes going into this, it seemed like the typical "helpless woman being chased by a crazed inbred in the woods" but I was pleasantly surprised. That basically is the premise, Ellen is in a minor car wreck and left stranded on an empty wooded highway at night when she becomes prey to the very large "Moonface". This film has an interesting difference though, Ellen is trained in survival tactics from her intense husband. It was nice to actually see a woman fight back for once. "Incident" was the perfect length for it's story line. There was a lot of tension but it wasn't dragged out and overplayed. I highly recommend this for fans of the horror genre who have an hour to spare.

dr_praetorius35 There is no denying: Don Coscarelli is a great director, with a knack to communicate his enthusiasm. When exploring his oeuvre, we should also take into account his tendency to create original movies. The Phantasm series, while inconsistent, is one such example as well as the excellent Bubba Ho-tep. Well, what about Coscarelli's Master of Horror entry? Considering every critics about this flick, it seems that "Incident" is a love-it or hate-it affair. For my part: i'm in the former category. It may be at first just one more slasher movie, but I think there is more than meets the eye. An interesting subtext about survivalism culture and science, an heroine full of resources (a rarity in these kind of flick!) and a real twist-ending that is hard to perceive before you're there (and a satisfying one to that!!!). What more can you ask of a one hour movie, hey? Yes: you can ask Coscarelli's stylish direction which is truly effective here (and, contrary to the today's style of torture movie, Coscarelli is of the old school of "seeing less and feeling more"): the photography is great, the tension of the run is there and the actors are well directed. Add the editing, which switch from past to present to past smoothly and creatively and you have a sometimes disconcerting slasher movie (it offers some hints of characterization).One more bonus here: a delicious cameo by Phantasm's Angus Scrimm. That performance is worth the renting alone! And I personally disagree with those who deplore the fact that we don't know much about Moonface and Angus Scrimm's character. Why do we need to know about them? This story is tell from Bree's point of view and she have no means to know about them. The only thing that matter to her is to survive and that's okay. Just let your imagination run wild: you can be surprised by how rewarding it could be and its good to have such auteur as Don Coscarelli who can understand that pleasure!!!!!!!!! It may not be as original or disturbing as such other Master of Horrors entries, but it is much more interesting than most horror remakes or teen flicks that pervade the megaplexes these days... and that is enough a good reason to see it. You need another reason? Here it is: Don Coscarelli.

Claudio Carvalho While driving in the night in a lonely road through the mountains, Ellen (Bree Turner) distracts with her radio and hits a car parked on the road. She faints and she looks for help since her car does not start again. She meets in the woods Moonface (John De Santis), a deranged monster-like man that collects human bodies pulling a woman. She is abducted by Moonface, but she recalls the survival lessons of her husband Bruce (Ethan Embrey) facing and fighting back the killer."Incident On and Off a Mountain Road" is another rip-off of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", but I liked it. The twist with a surprising conclusion, the atmosphere of nightmare and the performance of Bree Turner makes this enjoyable episode of "Masters of Horror" worthwhile. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Pânico na Montanha" ("Panic in the Mountain")

Kia_Tee I must say I very much enjoyed this episode. Angus scrimm and Ethan Embry were both a delight in their roles. Though she seemed to struggle from time to time, the female lead was still able to hold her own, though in the future others may be hesitant to cast her as a lead. The scare factor was great and suspense was always there from start to finish. The director has an excellent talent of being unpredictable, which he executed with the greatest of ease. Just as you think everything is okay, WHAM! Something hits you again. The end of this film left me with my mouth hanging open, followed by a smile of delight. Wonderful start to the season.
