"Roadside Massacre" or "Texas Roadside Massacre" which ever title you are, you are positively average in every way. I actually liked this movie. It was hooky and fun in all the right ways. Then again, I expected this to be kind of a crappy little horror movie, so I was surprised when I thought the acting was good and the cinematography was pretty on the mark. Starts off strong. Gets boring at time (i assume for time), but in the end I thought this was a pretty good effort. Can't say it really broke new grounds or was scary, but i've seen so many crap films in my life, this one doesn't really deserve to be beat up as badly. Then again, I never really watched this movie expecting a Hollywood masterpiece or a visionary new take on the genre. The girl not he cover was hot, horror movies are fun... and the crappier they are, sometimes the better. Get off your high horses, it wasn't that good, but it also wasn't that bad either.

Let me start by saying that the "Director" works as an 'electric'. Just because one can carry a 10K doesn't mean they can direct a movie.First I'd like to point out one of the most stupid, careless methods in visually identifying a plot point I've ever witnessed. After being served by a waitress, a customer runs out of a restaurant to her car and looks at a picture of her sister in order to verify that the WAITRESS IS IN FACT HER SISTER!!!! What the hell? Does this character suffer from some mental disorder that she forgets what her sister looked like? If she did it's never addressed again.There is no action in this film. It opens promisingly enough, but soon after it just turns into a boring talk fest that has nothing interesting to say. The acting has the same consistency of cardboard. The director must have spent all of his time at the craft service table because the shot structure is very unimaginative. It's just MED, CU - MED, CU over and over. There are no thrills or suspense. Every moment is telegraphed by one of those Star Trek transporters. Then there's a scene with a sheriff who appears to have been kidnapped from Knotts Berry Farm. I couldn't believe that he had a small dime store tin badge on his vest, which looked like it was cannibalized from some crew members three piece suit.I'm convinced this picture was edited by a Cuisinart. I'm sure they just plopped all those MEDs and C.U.'s into the receptacle and flipped that switch to high. Pushing buttons on a computer does not make one an editor.Most of the sets look alike. Nothing appears authentic. I think the filmmakers must have used their bedroom for a all purpose location. Come on guys at least make a little attempt of an effort! That's it this film is too crappy to waste any more time on
You have a few precious minutes in life. Don't waste any on this stupid junk.

Pitiful acting, terrible story. At least make it overwhelmingly gory not some run of the mill slasher. I hated every minute of this movie and didn't even bother finishing it. If you want to make a horror movie do it with integrity. Basic rules of horror: 1) blood 2) nudity 3) terror 4) humor through the failure of being able to survive. Get it right or don't do it at all. It either needs to be Troma level or at the very least the level of classics of night of the living dead. Slashers are fine but they need to be terrifying. Not stupid you stupid failures. What a waste of money. What a waste of time for the poor people who watched this. I'm not an internet bully. I was mad that you wasted all this money on a terrible idea. Put down the camera and get a real job. Leave to movie business to people who don't settle for putting out garbage like this and thinking it's OK to release it to the public to exploit the genre. Horror is cool and making money now a-days we get it. But true fans wont let garbage like this pass.

this movie was a lot of fun. it really feels like a legit throw-back to the late 70s early 80s slasher movies just like all the ones i grew up watching. its campy, its full of all the clichés that are fun, and just when you think its goig to be predictalbe, it throws a curve ball. its also cool because it lives in its own little world. i wish i knew where they filmed it because its like an extreme ideal for a horror movie. there were some problems, there wasn't much blood and some of the death scenes could have definitely been more drawn out. but it's pretty quick, gets you involved early, and keeps it going. just like the classic original TCM (chainsaw massacre to you non-horror buffs), you keep wanting this lead girl to die just so she doesn't have to keep on suffering. but you keep watching, cause you just have to know if she makes it or not (and if she doesn't make it, what they'll do to her remains). low-budget classic campy fun that doesn't take itself too seriously and is far and above better than the wide array of horror flicks on the market. 8 out of 10.
