Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ryan Beckman "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.

Andrew Webber I think there is a liar in the house, no way this movie cost $325,000. Maybe $25,000 tops. Here's my $.2, why do indie filmmakers have to lie about their budgets? This movie is a great example. If it seriously cost $325k, then this flick is terrible. If it cost much less (i.e. $15k to $30k) then "ROadside Massacre" is a pretty solid little movie.In Detroit, we had a short-lived film/TV boom. I've seen how hard it is to put together a movie with no money. I've worked deferred on so many projects that never got done. "Roadside Massacre" is clearly a well constructed movie with a very good team behind it. It's very light on horror, focusing more on style and mood, and a bit slow at times (worst criticisms, FYI), but that's pretty typical of these movies. I've seen so many failed attempts at such movies, I now feel obligated to give a shout-out to ones that are well above average.The movie is smart and is well acted (mostly). These are all non-actors, except for maybe the lead, she had some "training". The lighting and imagery are killer. The mood, tone, atmosphere are really sharp. It's well directed and choreographed. The camera work is solid. The music nails it. I really liked it. It really freaked me out a few times.I just watched Vacancy II last night. Roadside Massacre has virtually some of the same scenes in it (with very similar dialogue). Only it's obvius it's not a rip-off, it's trying to be itself in the genre. It's trying to function. Sad thing is that Vacancy II had a 7-figure budget. Roadside Massacre had what I assume to be a low 5-figure budget. This is a well made low budget horror movie wiht a smart crew and a talented cast. I wish it well and it definitely re-sparked the hope of getting my own project(s) off the ground.

movie_buff_1811 This film follows a very tried and overly-tested plot line. 5 teens off to spring break adventures end up in a small town and get slaughtered and, presumably, eaten. What's interesting about this movie is not the kills, it's actually how incredibly funny some of it is. There is a very strong sense of black comedy throughout, especially in some of the speeches delivered by the "bad" guys. They have little interest in killing people, instead they are trying to run a successful business. Most of their conversations revolve around costs of running business and pay-outs to Uncle Sam.Two great lines in this movie: One of the teens is hooking up with the blonde girl. She says, "Baby that was great" and he says "Thanks, I gotta pee." Then, at the end, the Jimmy character is about to get hacked to death by the lead girl he goes on a rant and exclaims "I can write off the cost of killing you on next year taxes, now that's the country I call home!".I cracked up laughing and spilled my beer. I was like, what is this???

mb_105 I was flipping through channels late at night and this movie's opening credits were just starting... I figured "low-budget horror flick", it's going to be terrible, let's check it out. But, instead, I was hooked. It was really good. Nothing out of the box, but it took some really nice twists and was a lot of fun throughout. It was also hilarious (in a good way)... Everything the bad guys say in the movie is quote worthy. You can tell it's low budget. You can tell there's non-professional actors and everything, but it's really a great little movie. And, as a long time horror lover, I didn't even see the end coming. Check it out. 9 outta 10 for me.
