Well, that was interesting. The very first moments looked decent, with a somewhat retro look. But as soon as the characters open their mouth you realize you're in for a treat. Sound editing is terrible, you can't hear half of the lines, and the other half is people telling each other to shut up or chill out (duude). Dialogues are below 5 years old writing. Camera work is atrocious, some of the very few thrills in this bore-fest are courtesy of the cameraman struggling with focus. And losing miserably. The editing is lame. I just began to mentally trim the footage to accelerate the pacing, leaving behind minutes and minutes of awkward silent people blank staring, panting and gasping, looking around, while I was waiting for a line or a reaction to happen. My god... Then acting. Tell me about it. 'Great acting' someone said, holy cow... They are abysmal, all of 'em, with a special award for the guy in a yellow t-shirt (sluggishly dragging around like he hadn't any idea what he was doing) and the biker chief (desperately trying to be cool in a Samurai Cop wig). Storywise, it's a mess. Girl gets missing (we couldn't care less about her, 3 minutes screen time), friends freak out (kinda) and try to find her, they stumble upon drug courier bikers, they argue, they escape, they find refuge in a ghost town, the bikers follow them, cannibal creepy inbred people, almost everybody dies by stupidity. There is no tension whatsoever! The pacing is all off, slow and helpless, the bikers are not menacing, the 'eaters' could have been a redeeming point for the movie if there was any attention to details, maybe even some self aware irony (we're playing with 50 years old tropes, guys). The plot doesn't progress, it percolates like garbage juice. Even the gore is missing!
Maybe they tried, maybe it was a joke. What remains is a mess of a movie, some occasional funny-bad moment (the screaming scene, as previously noted by other reviewers: hilarious) and lots of boredom and frustration. I somehow sat through all of it, but I don't recommend this experience to anyone.
