Synopsis: A bus carrying 5 passengers breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, a crazy truck driver and a psycho hitchhiker are there to kill them all.My Take: This one took a few minutes to convince me. The dialogue is lame and the character interactions are unrealistic. At first glance, the casting choices seem terrible. But don't worry. Everyone that sucks dies pretty soon.
Then we get to the good parts. The trucker and the hitchhiker did a pretty good job playing their roles. Putting these cliché horror villains together was a wonderful and completely original idea. The part I enjoyed the most in this film was trying to figure out the dynamic between the two killers. Do they know each other? Is this a game? Watching them interact is the best part of the movie.
The ending is completely unnecessary. I enjoyed the movie much more without it. It is obviously a nod to Cohen's 1990 horror flick Ambulance. This is just one of many references to other horror movies this one makes.The Rundown:
- Best Death: I always enjoy seeing a head getting slammed in a door. A bus cargo hold door will do.
- Worst reason to scream: After being mutilated by a crazy killer, you start screaming because he is applying lipstick to the duct tape over your mouth? I think you are the crazy one.
- Best Line: [While chasing a girl through the woods]: "Come on, how many times have we seen this? I know you saw this in Texas Chainsaw... Both fucking versions!"
