The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Detour (2009)

AKA: Snarveien

Director: Severin Eskeland

Premise:
A couple are forced to take a detour through the forest on their way home to Norway. A series of too coincidental things occur and soon the couple discover they are part of a snuff movie being broadcast to the internet.

My Take:
A decent plot and good acting are the strength of the movie. It doesn't attempt to reinvent things but does a solid job at telling this all too familiar tale.

Rating: In the middle
