RUN LIKE HELL is an indie horror/thriller with a few differences to the norm. The story is about a couple of tough guys holing up in a small town and coming across a family with more than their fair share of secrets. What follows is relatively fresh and original, although constrained by the usual genre restraints of low budget and lack of talent. The film has a slow pace and little in the way of violence, aside from a startling mid-point set-piece which is the film's most arresting moment. One failing I noticed is that as the main guys can obviously take care of themselves little suspense is built en route.

OK, first of all, what the heck was up with them playing the music while the people were talking in the beginning? It was really kinda hard to hear what they were saying. It's called background music, because it's supposed to be in the background, not the foreground drowning out the dialogue. That was really annoying! Anyway, the movie begins with four people - two guys, two girls - and they're driving through a deserted, underused road across the desert, maybe in Arizona. They take a detour, stop off at a place called Elvis Rocks, and they walk away from the car. Stupidly, the driver left the key in the ignition. Seriously, who does that? A stupid character in a slasher movie, of course. :D Cliché alert: As the group is returning to the jeep, somebody gets in and drives away, leaving the group stranded. Damn! So original. The girl with the glasses runs down and says "What happened?" even though she had a good view from the top of the hill. I guess those glasses aren't working for her.They walk until the find the house of Nancy and Harold, two people who give the creepy vibe. The group stays for dinner and then they meet Jed, the sheriff. He tells them it'll take a day or two to get their car back, and Nancy and Harold agree to host the group until then. During the night, one of the guys hears a saw from the barn of death muahahaha.The next day while scouting around the town, they go into a shop and they are all knocked unconscious and tied up. Then, the fun begins on their journey to death. Muahahahahahahaha. I can't say anything else without giving away spoilers.The storyline isn't original, and there are clichés in this. That's not the problem. The acting was...not good. The atmoshpere and sets were good enough for what the story demanded.Luke told Dan, "If you see anything you don't like, you tell me." Luke, I don't like this movie! lol

We're fairly forgiving when it comes to horrors but this film is one of the worst films we have ever seen, and I've watched 10 minutes of Spice Girls The Movie. Terrible acting, terrible story. It wasn't even so bad it was good, or humorous. It's just bad. That's time we'll never get back. I could have spent a more enjoyable 90 minutes scrubbing mould off our shed. We weren't expecting an Oscar winning performance but this even fell short of our pessimistic expectations. It was predictable, boring with such stupid characters you feel they actually deserve whatever happens to them. They could not find their way out of a wet paper bag! Can safely say it starts off mediocre and continues to spiral downhill. As we have a sense of civic duty, we felt we should warn others.

I thought this movie was going to be another run of the mill story about screaming girls getting stabbed and of course screaming, you know what I'm talking about, the same story recreated with a different twist. However I couldn't be more wrong, this movie is a jewel in the rough, full of twists and surprises, there was a few times during this movie I thought to myself, "WOW! I didn't expect that"........ I honestly avoid this kind of movie like the plague, but I am so glad I decided to watch. Well done to the "two Guys and a film company" and of course Canyon Prince and James Thomas, I am looking forward to watching more of your movies in the future. ;P .....
