Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

cmurray081 Well.. What do you say about such a flick? I should start by writing I am a HUGE horror fan. This movie, is not a horror movie, it is more of a search for a murderer type of flick.. However, I consider it more of a good comedy... It starts out where you can not even hear the characters talking to each other, although they do waste about 10 minutes in the credits (where they show some ridiculous shootout).. The main character decides he needs to find his meaning to life, packs about 6 things in a duffle bag and decides to hitch hike across the country (seems a little underpacked).. Anyway, this hitch hiking experience mainly takes time to show his shoes, show many motorists stop to pick him up, then take off.. They do attempt to shock the audience with him sleeping on the side of the main highway (yup in a breakdown lane of a major highway, no one stops or calls cops) but he does sleep next to a dead skunk (that is the scary shocking part).. Then, he meets a guy at some crap diner who tells him he has made 'Low Audience attending" movies (how Ironic, since I am pretty sure about 15 people have seen this one).. Anyway, this idiot is to dumb to figure out that this "movie maker" is not so nice (not hard to believe though, I mean he slept in the breakdown lane next to a dead skunk).. Well, I won't spoil the rest of this real horror thriller.. OH! I got to run, looks like the paint on my walls is dry..

rsoonsa It is uncertain as to which sort of theme was in mind for this weakly constructed film, since its thin plot, upon which is strung a series of shabbily composed scenes, meanders erratically to a risible conclusion. Action begins, intermingled with the credits, as the first of the movie's many absurdities blurringly depicts, with nationally televised coverage, a shootout between a barricaded suspect, a man with a rifle seen through a second story apartment building window and, directly below him and in a largely unprotected and direct line of fire, uniformed police officers, one of the latter being killed, not surprisingly considering his virtually wide-open position below the gunman. After the slain police officer's funeral, his plainly downcast son, Lance Gaffney, explains through voice-over of his plan to go "on the road", as in Jack Kerouac's 1957 novel, by hitchhiking to Los Angeles for the purpose of finding fame and fortune as an actor. With a video camera and duffle bag, Lance begins his journey only to sadly discover that hitchhikers are no longer as acceptable as they were in Beat Generation days, and therefore he spends a good part of his roadside time by filming the pavement, his shoes, and other subjects that will lack impact for a viewer. Lance's odyssey falls far short of Kerouac's work as he ambles along interstate highways where hitchhiking restrictions are ostensibly not being enforced, Gaffney even taken to sleeping in convenience lanes, once rather stupidly mere inches from a dead, disemboweled, and naturally odoriferous skunk. Nonetheless, Lance's situation seemingly improves when, while in a roadway café, a grossly overweight man named Buck introduces himself to the young man and, immediately after they become acquainted, Lance accepts with but mild reservations an offer from Buck to ride with him and share his lodgings. Protracted sequences follow with Buck revealing to Lance that he is an independent filmmaker based in New Orleans, and when Lance describes his fondness for the Kerouac book, Buck surprises young Gaffney with the information that "On the Road" is intended to be his next production (although he mispronounces the author's name), a remarkable coincidence that Lance, evidently emptied of reason, totally accepts upon faith. Although a viewer will soon discern that Buck is a trifle shady, starry-eyed Lance does not, while each scene pares away those elements of intelligence with which he may have been allocated at birth. As Buck drives onward to New Orleans, the two men chat about "On the Road", and after Lance pleads for an audition in the part of Dean Moriarty (Neal Cassady), the fat filmmaker abruptly decides that the part is his, despite his youth and inexperience. During one of their motel room colloquies, Buck had recalled an incident from his own youth - - the death of his mother and his grief at her passing, but when the pair arrives at Buck's home, it is clear that he shares it with his very much alive mother, to whom he introduces Lance. This seems to mildly perplex a naive Lance, yet not enough to dissuade him from taking part in this film's climactic scene. As shall be expected from a work with a small budget, the cast and crew (all involved are from the New Orleans region, where the picture was shot) at times doubling, production values are something less than impressive. Poverty of pace and sharpness is found throughout the affair, with the direction, writing, acting, and editing all of a piece, being awkward and frequently sophomoric, a combination that lowers the piece to the level of a student film. Its most marked technical shortcoming stems from substandard looping with sound synchronization so poor that it drags an already shoddy effort down farther. No extras are included for the Legacy DVD release, and despite the film not being suitable as entertainment within any genre, both the visuals and sound quality of the disc are fine.

Michael Valenti (avalco) I have seen this film about five times now and all I can say is WOW!!! This movie makes me want to take out my eye balls and stomp them. The audio is horrible, the acting is horrible and the story is horrible. With this being said I think that it was the most entertaining movie of all time. My friends and I watch and laugh our asses off. The main actor has scenes where he has to smoke a cig and you can tell the actor is repulsed because he is trying his hardest to pucker up his mouth and keep the smoke out. I wish there was more info around for this movie but being that the DVD was sold to me in pathmark for ninty five cents I am assuming that there's not much interest in it.

zombieman1978 through your viewing of this film, you might ask yourself why it is credited as a horror film. The fact is, it is'nt really much of a horror film, more along the lines of a realistic murderer drama. The film is about a young hitchhiker with aspirations of being an actor, who is picked up by an overweight man who tells him he's an independent filmmaker. When they get to his home in new Orleans, the young actor discovers that his obese friend makes snuff films, & he's his next actor. Now, you might wonder why I can tolerate this film at all, I do so because I see potential in the idea, if not the film itself. It could have been better, but was'nt. However, the ending was sort of disturbing, but I won't ruin it for you. Al in all, I'd say it's a worthwhile film to see at least once.
