I wish I liked Ditched more because there are some strong aspects to Donaldson's debut worth celebrating.

Where Donaldson as a director, makes his own imprint is his success of raising Hell in his debut.Ditchedhas the most accomplished vision of a figurative Hell yet captured in cinema.

Rated: 9/10

Sila, who also appears in the TV series Tribal , is a strong performer, possibly even better than the material she's working with. As the protagonist, she's reason enough to stick with the story.

Rated: 2.5/5

The more that Donaldson reveals about what's actually happening, the less interesting the movie becomes.

Starts a bit slow, but ramps up quickly and it's well worth the wait. Has a great twist that was unfortunately spoiled by the trailer, so go in blind if at all possible. If you're a fan of more old-school horror like early Carpenter, you should love this. Very fun first-feature length film by Donaldson and Sommer. Will definitely keep my eyes open for what they do next.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Desperate to escape an overturned ambulance after what should be a normal prison transfer, Melina, some cops, other paramedics and two criminals find themselves being hunted by something in the woods — a costumed hunting party led by Caine and filled reasons to kill everyone — as the survivors have just a hundred feet to climb out of a ditch to escape. For a movie that takes place in the small region of the crash, this film ramps up the intensity and shows that even though this is his first film, director and writer Christopher Donaldson creates a pretty decent horror movie. His skills as a storyboard are obvious in the way that he sets up a lot of his shots and keeps the action moving. It's not perfect, but the constantly flashing ambulance and police car lights, as well as the garish costumes and the incredible levels of gore, set this movie apart. I really liked the performance by Marika Sila as Melina, a woman who just wants to get home to her daughter.

It's a neat, tight, smart little thriller, with an old school Hawks / Carpenter vibe, but with a meanspiritedness and hardbitten cynicism all its own. And DAMN that final sequence, the length of time it holds that final shot, is great.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
