Audience Member Ok this is an awkward one... I was meant to watch another movie with a similar title to this but ended up watching one and it wasn't that great at all. Also while writing this I've noticed that they have some things wrong on this Flixster page because the tag line says ''An unforgettable day in the life of two college students'' when the movie is nothing at all what it says, also there are actors shown below that aren't even in it! Just a little bit confusing... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Hilarious!!! (Maybe not intentionally?) Not a bad concept / idea though... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is the biggest load of crap ever. Don't waste 89 minutes of your life. Horrible acting, fake screaming. Dumb crazy "Scream" voice. Just plain stupid movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent performance by Kyle Gallner. Very entertaining short film about two friends on a road. Believable and funny too. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A simple story, a woman is thrown into a trunk and driven around by a serial killer, who, has his car wired so he can communicate with the victims he captures. And with this premise, flick could have been an interesting battle of wills and while it tries to go that route, there is not enough talent behind the camera to strongly pull it off. In front of the camera, talent is also a mixed bag. Jennifer Day actually does a decent job as the trunk imprisoned Megan but, David Blanchard as the deranged "George" seems to feel acting crazy is simply accomplished by shouting random bits of dialog at random moments and putting strong emphasis on random syllables of his words when he is not shouting. And having occasional audio and sometimes video flashbacks when George is explaining himself is distracting not effective and doesn't help his character any. When Megan slowly starts to psychologically turn the tables on her captor, he's so thinly written and cliche' that it's no real challenge. And while it is entertaining to watch her humiliate and taunt her potential killer, the uneven acting skills make it very one sided. Her taunting dialog is also far better written then George's responses which hurts the film too. By the time the climax comes, George has been reduced to such a non-threat in the eyes of the audience, that it's no surprise as to what happens. Nice try but no cigar. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad for a really low budget horror movie. Interesting that they managed to run almost the entire movie over the span of a drive...one in the trunk and the other behind the wheel. That's also what made it drag and get a little stale in parts. The ending was really sudden and not much of a payoff after the long ride... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
