I love this movie so much

One of my all time favorites.

Good movie but grossly overrated

Fresh and Exciting

ENGINE TROUBLE is a very low budget Belgian serial killer thriller that plays out like WRONG TURN. The budget is so low that nothing happens for most of the running time, leaving the viewer stuck with a couple of uninteresting female characters whose journey goes awry when their car breaks down. Eventually they're chased by the usual psycho killer. The director might like De Palma but this is your typical indie, with diluted thrills and a real lack of expertise.

Engine Trouble (2002) 1/2 (out of 4) Typical straight to DVD flick about two females who go out where they shouldn't be an are eventually stalked by a maniac. You can call the film whatever you want but this is without a doubt one of the worst horror films I've ever seen and trust me I've seen a whole lot. The film has the budget of around five bucks but the director doesn't even try to appease horror fans. The one gore effect is so incredibly bad that you'll be rolling your eyes. I understand with a low budget you can have good effects but if memory serves me it doesn't take a special effect for some hot woman to remove her cloths.

This movie is utterly horrible. I cannot think of one good point to write about. The plot sounded like maybe it would be in the style of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "Slauhghterhouse", or maybe even a bad Troma movie like "Mother's Day". Those films and even their worst imitators over the years are vastly superior to "Junior".The character played by Junior is entirely laughable, he jumps around like a monkey with a black muzzle over his face making him appear to be a deranged Vulture.The "scary scenes" in the movie are hardly scary, not even remotely creepy. In one scene we have a girl sitting in a car hearing noises pounding on the top of her car. This scene goes on forever and becomes tedious in the worst way. I found myself bored 10 minutes into viewing Junior, and I kept hoping maybe it would get better. But no, it actually got worse up to the very end!Apparently Junior is a foreign film, and I usually love foreign low-budget horror movies. This is just another garbage title distributed in the states by Artisan, and they are masters of that art form. The cover to the DVD/Video in the video store might sound pleasing, but it's anything but enjoyable.

"Engine Trouble" is a low-budget horror-movie, but the results are good, very good ! It's the first movie of producer James Desert that has been filmed for cinema. The movie tells the story of the young and beautiful Rebecca, who goes on vacation with her girlfriend Sandra. On their trip, they got engine trouble with the car and Sandra disappears after searching for some help. From that moment, the nightmare starts for Rebecca because a disgusting creature is following her with bad intentions ... Rebecca is played by Cecilia Bergqvist, an actress discovered by producer James Desert and Marlene Simons plays Sandra. The father of the creature has been played by Bob Dougherty. The story is easy to follow and there are also a few scenes that are hilarious. But watching the movie is not boring and when you know that the director Marc Ickx and the producer James Desert had a very small budget, you even can be very surprised by the excellent result...
