Review of Dead End

Dead End (I) (2003)
Excellent, funny, Low Budget Horror Movie, Great Acting
12 July 2011
Okay so I am eight years late to the party but we watched this movie just last night in the summer of 2011 and it totally wasn't what I was expecting. Thought it would just be some industry standard slasher film but was surprised with what we got.

About 15 minutes in after being in a dark car on the same road when they come across the first body and everybody is going nuts about how messed up it is but the body is never shown on camera I realized this was a low budget affair. I was originally thinking that this was originally a one act stage play. So while it is a horror movie, you don't really see any graphic violence or mutilated bodies.

While the setting is always the car at night on an isolated road, it is the acting and dialogue that steal the movie. This film is loaded with dark humor and really could be considered a comedy. Some things are over the top such as when the back of the mom's skull has come off and she manipulates her exposed brain in a way to achieve orgasm. I thought that this movie was hilarious with a little scary thrown in.

Just know what you are getting into. If you go in wanting to see something horrific and gruesome, you'll probably be too disappointed to appreciate the comedy and fine acting in this film.
