A young man named Adam
(Eric Jungman) is on his way driving to
his wedding and his sarcastic prankster
mouthy friend named Harley (Justin Urich)
tags along with him as he seems to get
the two of them into trouble along the
way and are unwelcomed by rednecks along
the way due to Harley's mockery towards
them.
Well they are driven off the road by a
giant monster truck and then they are
terrorised by it.
Along the way a hitchhiker named Sarah
(Aimee Brooks) tags along with them as
they try to escpae from this maniac as
they saw on the news that this driver has
been responsibler for killing lots of
people.
They also witness the drivers presence as
he doesn't look human.
I thought this
would be a great movie. Sure it's dark at
time and alot of the times there's lots
of stupid dark comedy in it which doesn't
blend at all for the story itself.
I
found this one to be a spoof on
Joyride along with touches of Jeepers
Creepers and the remake on Texas
Chainsaw Massacre
It does get exciting with the chase from
the monster truck but the story weakens
as it doesn't really have a nice surprise
to why this madness is happening.
The acting is in
descent shape as I enjoyed Justin Urich's
performence since he plays a convincing
dork in the show with his sarcasm. He
reminds me of people I encountered in my
life as he plays a practical pain in the
ass.
Aimee Brooks also does good with
her supporting role as she seems to play
good by being sexy and romantic too but
has a secret of her own which she pulls
off greatly too.
Michael Bailey Smith does
wonderful with his monstrous actions to
his character making him truly scary.
A piece of
roadkill is thrown on Adam sleeping in a
hotel
A redneck is crushed by a monster truck
Adam spits out an eyeball while trying to
eat something
There's a corpse in the back of a car
with their eyes gouged out
A person is lying on a flat and the
middle of his body is torn out guts
revealed and then later on his body is
cut in half
Adam cuts the Monster Man's stomach open
to get a key he swallowed
A throat is slit
There's chunks of the Monster Man
splattered over a dirt road
The monster truck driver looks gruesome
himself
When you see Michael
Davis' work you're not sure whether
he's directing a plain comedy spoof on
JoyRide or a comedy-horror spoof on the
film.
He definetely combines both
as we have stupid scenes with Eric Jungman
and Justin Urich acting like
goof off's with their roles during
certain disputes.
But there are also very darjk and scary
moments like the monster truck driving a
car off the road in a Jeepers
Creepers like fashion.
Also it's perfect timing that this
monster truck is following these people.
We have a nice romantic scene involving Jungman
and Aimee Brooks at a hotel.
Theres a great and shocking moment of the
monster truck slowly torturing Tim
Sitartz's character by running over
parts of his body and he made Tim's reactions
very realistic at this terrifying event.
Also there's another suspenseful moment
when the monster truck crushes the top of
a car and Urich is inside it and
he shows great anxiety attacks wondering
if he can get out alive before the truck
comes after them again.
We have a good location of the killers
house as it borrows alot from the remake
of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
His best direction was towards the end
when he coaches Jungman and Urich's
scenes on getting revenge with this
maniac.
John
Coda does well with his music for
the film putting different sounds in each
scene. He shows a great guitar riff when
there's a sexy scene in the film.
We also have a soundtrack by artists like
The Rumblebees and Scot Sax
Harley:
[while sitting in a bar that's showing
a monster truck competition on tv]
These fucking rednecks must have IQs the
same number as the size of my underwear
to watch this!
Harley:
I feel like we just played Drop The Soap
with Godzilla, man!
Police
Officer #1: [in a thick redneck
accent] You dang kids are up to your
assholes and elbows in trouble now!
Adam: Ask your elbows *what*?
Harley:
I'm a corpse burrito, dude!
Brother
Fred: [lying in two pieces whilst
the end credits are running] The end?
This can't be the end! I was gonna fuck
my sister! Now what am I gonna do? This
sucks!
