SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Excellent, a Must See

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Acting is horrific, there is no real storyline and no suspense at all. Hard to understand why there are so many good reviews for it as all I saw was a B movie that I could have probably done a better job of myself. Again, I cannot reiterate enough - the acting is awful!

This movie starts like hellfire and then goes straight off the rails. There's a cool opening sequence with some nice Steadicam work, followed by a real nice title sequence that prepares you for a 60's style, B movie, 'Macon County Line' sort of romp. Then it all goes straight down hill. The makeup is amateurish and the plot gets more ridiculous as the movie goes on. The direction gets very bad and doesn't make much sense visually or otherwise. The acting is serviceable except for the main 'bad guy' who mugs it up to such an annoying extent, he takes you out of the movie. It's really odd because it's Kevin Corrigan. He's a veteran actor who appears to be a Scorsese favorite. Speaking of directing, after the first 10 minutes IT SUCKS. It's almost as if someone was hired to do the movie, found out they weren't going to get paid and someone brought in this Enda person with no movie credits to finish the film. All the favorable reviews date back from the release and I'm sure they were done by cast and crew or paid for. Don't make the same mistake I did. I kept watching it to see if it got better. It doesn't.

First part of this movie Hit and Run is basically a thriller with some horror elements. Mary Murdock, a young college girl comes back from a late night of partying with buddies. On her way home, she is singing along to music and does not notice a tire in the road. She swerves to miss it. When she hears noises in her garage that night, she's horrified to find a man stuck on the bumper. He is barely alive, bleeding and mangled. She tries to help him but he wants to grab her leg, so she beats him with a golf club. She buries the body in some nearby woods.In the morning she tries to cover up all the evidence of the crime, but she gets more paranoid and feels she is being watched. She starts going off the deep end and doing more and more insane things. She tells her boyfriend about what happened and he participates in the cover up. He tells her to keep mum until the media fest dies down. Without giving away too much, it comes about that the dead guy (who is called Emser and is a bi polar school teacher) comes back to stalk Mary. Rick her boyfriend ends up dead.At this point, the movie shifts gears into something like surreal horror. Many events start to feel disconnected as if we are in Mary's anxiety dream. Emser stabs her and then in continuing the act of revenge ties her to front of the car and drives her around empty highways scaring the living hell out of her. He then takes her back to his house and leaves her in the garage, like she did to him. More murders take place by Emser and when he takes Mary to bury her in the same grave, things take another turn when she gets away and another hit and run is going to happen, this one a purposeful one.In this second half, the thriller suspense gives way toward more grotesque fantastical horror elements.The movie somehow manages to blend these different styles into a somewhat coherent curious package.

After I watched this it occurred to me that it could be everything after she buried the body was part of her delusion. I say that because the movie changed tone midway. At the start it was really kind of real and shown normal. Girl drives back from party. Girl finds dude on front of car. Girl beats him upside the head with golf club and buries him. Then after that the events become more and more ludicrous and out of hand, which made me think we were seeing it all from her hysterical delusions. I didn't mind that too much. Then I thought that it's even possible maybe the whole hit and run might not be real either and the whole thing was some kind of nightmare she'd entered, like "a Christmas Carol" or something and the freaky teacher back from the dead was like a ghost of Christmas Past teaching her a horrifying, nasty, never-to-forget lesson about why she's a naughty girl drinking and driving. After all, he did wrap her up in x-mas lights.
