Munger Road (2011)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Had this movie sitting in my Netflix account for months, because it looked interesting, and the desperation to find some really good horror films. Went to it last night and stayed with it, then got into it, then it's abrupt ending. It brought up some remembrances of Jaws, Halloween, and yes I have no use for those films where you only have the view of one of the characters holding a camera. If the director meant to end the film this way, bad, bad, bad. Just about everything was left hanging. More should have been resolved. If his intention was to do a sequel, but the money dried up, then I'm sorry. You were getting there but it ended badly.

... think, why doesn't IMDb have a possibility to vote a big fat ZERO!This is THE SINGLE WORSE FILM I have EVER SEEN! : ) Seriously... I kept smiling and shaking my head... and I watched it just to be amazed at how its possible to make a so VERY un-intelligent, un-scary, un-feasable film... And yesss... WITHOUT what almost EVERY FILM has... A Frigging ENDING!!! To be CONTINUED?!?! ARE YOU JOKING??? : )Im really sorry but please please... don't do it again!All of you who voted this to 4.5 rating are a shameless bunch who do not respect those others who do have talent and start by making low budget films that actually say something, mean something, scare you some what : )You will only achieve that people who are looking for a semi decent horror flick for a low brain activity night to watch this and be sooo under stimulated that we will come and have to recover by bleeding the film here...There are about 4-5 of us here... And about 20 "good ratings"...I mean some people even rated 8-9-10 stars : ) So this movie is as good as Seven? Magnolia? Star Wars? Matrix? Its Reeeeaally pitifull...Sorry... had to get it out! : )

The other reviewers must be blind, friends or relatives of the writer/director of this film. I've never seen a film of any genre that had so many plot holes in it that it reminded me of a piece of Swiss cheese. Actually, there were two story lines playing out simultaneously that the writer could not tie together to save his life. I kept waiting for the film to improve but then gave up and watched in awe as it became more and more ridiculous and then ended in one huge mess. I kept thinking to myself how did this movie ever get out of pre-production without someone stepping in to doctor the script. I certainly wish I had the 86 minutes back of my life after watching this clunker, and I can only warn potential viewers to watch at their own risk.

"Munger Road" doesn't break much new ground, but it covers the old ground nicely. Two St. Charles students (Trevor Morgan and Hallock Beals) get a video camera so they can go out with their dates (Brooke Peoples and Lauren Storm), to the tracks on Munger Road to check for supernatural activity. The car engine mysteriously dies and the four kids are marooned in the middle of nowhere.From John Carpenter's "Halloween," director/writer Nick Smith appropriates the escaped serial killer plot, plus pays homage to the opening-scene tracking shot by having a cop investigate a dark house through a point-of-view camera.Smith also lifts the swinging ceiling lamp effect from Hitchcock's "Psycho" and briefly the making-a-documentary premise from "The Blair Witch Project" which it stole from "Cannibal Holocaust."So, don't go to see "Munger Road" for originality.Go to witness how Smith and his young conspirators (including Polish composer Wojciech Golczewski with his edgy, alarming score) transform the sleepy little community of St. Charles into the scariest Illinois town since Michael Myers roamed fictional Haddonfield.
