Caitlin Carmichael, Ryan Knudson, and horror icon Danielle Harris (Halloween 4 & 5, Rob Zombie’s Halloween) feature in this revenge thriller. Roadkill was written and directed by Warren Fast, paying homage to the genre’s classic films in the 80s and 90s.
Lost while traveling through a rural county in 1983, the plot sees a young woman cross paths with a hitchhiker heading to the same destination and offers a ride in exchange for directions. Their journey takes a violent turn when the two are caught up in a police manhunt for a fugitive killer. As victims begin to amass and authorities close in, it becomes a fight for survival on the open road. Like many films of the genre, Roadkill begins with some intrigue and desire to know more about the backgrounds of the leading characters. However, the film lacks depth, the performances of the actors are wooden, and the action sequences are far from convincing or memorable. The movie drops in theaters and digital on January 5, 2024, and is distributed via Uncork’d Entertainment.
Movie Rating: 2.5 stars.
