Melissa L @Agent99 Jan 6 It wasn't half bad. The ending lends itself to a sequel, but I haven't found it as of yet. See more 10/30/2015 When a film ends with to be continued, it's nearly impossible to rate... The story isn't finished, so how can I tell you if it's good? Overall, there were some interesting and suspenseful moments, which for a cheap movie like this to keep my attention enough, I guess the directior did a good job. So while it wasn't anything special, I do want to see the next one. See more 07/03/2015 Decent flick for a hot Summer night. Nothing too memorable but entertaining and done good. See more 06/30/2015 Greet suspenseful movie with a crappy ending ! See more jesse o @RT12547577 06/30/2015 This is what a PG-13 slasher would look like if there was no actual on-screen violence. There is something to be said about the less-is-more approach when it comes to all films, not just horror. But, and sadly too, that just doesn't end up working in the long run in this film. It's one of those films that shows the promising start of a new filmmaker, it's not their peak, but there's hints of potential here and there. Holding back on something whereas most other directors would've shot their wad immediately is one. The problem is the fact that, once the film is over, you feel like you've wasted your entire time on something that was not going to be resolved. The film keeps building and building and building and building. For what? Absolutely nothing. And it's not like I found the film that effective at building suspense to begin with. It's a film about 4 teens stuck on the railroad tracks of a supposedly haunted road the same night a serial killer escapes from prison. Except nothing really happens until it's like over an hour into the film. I mean people do die before this point but it's not like it made any impact. They were building to it and it just didn't register at all once it finally did happen. Maybe it's because of the fact that they kept building to something that they weren't gonna show. I don't have a problem with that if the film does build up to that moment well and they, eventually, give you a satisfying payoff to this and the story. Nope. They spent all that time completely holding back on everything and you're hoping that the conclusion is satisfying. You would be wrong. They build to all that, nothing is resolved and the film ends on a 'To Be Continued.' What in the fucking shit is that??? I hate that kind of shit honestly. It's not that everything has to be solved in a nice and easy manner, I don't mind using my brain to figure some of these endings out, but this 'To be continued' bullshit is completely spitting in the face of the people. I chose to spend time out of my life, which is 1/3rd over by this point, to watch your crappy film and that was the ending we were given. A 'To Be Continued.' Fuck right off. It doesn't matter what came before it because the moment those words flashed across the screen, it was all over. Literally and figuratively. I think the writer/director, I think they're one in the same and not different people, thought he was clever, but it wasn't. Can you imagine if people actually paid for this bullshit? Like they actually bought the DVD. I'm pissed now and I, essentially, didn't pay for it due to it being on Netflix. I hated the ending and I'm surprised I haven't downgraded it from the 1 star rating I gave it. I do think there's some slight hints of potential. But they spend so much time building up this bullshit and for it to end like that, it was just terrible. It's not like the movie was really that interesting as it was. It's not like this was a 2 star movie ruined by a shitty ending, this was already a bad movie with an even worse ending. It's just that the one few good ideas kept it from being rated lower. It's another competently made film, but it's still pretty terrible all things considered. While there's some decent stuff in here, I cannot help but tell you to completely avoid the movie. The ending is really that fucking bad. I really do regret having watched this movie. That's not a good thing, at all. Real bad movie here. See more 06/29/2015 What exactly did you see? A Scarecrow Festival inspires two boys to take their dates on a trip to Munger Road where numerous rumors of hauntings plague the town. Unfortunately for them, an escaped convict is also on the loose in that area. A pair of police officers head out to find the killer. The kid's lives quickly come in danger. "Everybody has a story about Munger Road." Nicholas Smith delivers Munger Road in his directorial debut. The storyline for this picture is fairly mediocre and unfolds in a predictable fashion with not too many thrilling or intense sequences. The acting was also below par and the cast includes Bruce Davison, Lauren Storm, Maggie Gwin, Bill Stevens, and Randall Batinkoff. "We're all going to die tonight anyway." This was added to the Netflix horror queue not too long ago so I added it to the queue. Overall, it was very mediocre and nothing special. Unless you are a diehard fan of the genre, I recommend skipping this. "It's been 11:14 for awhile now." Grade: D See more Read all reviews
