What a waste of my time!!!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Let me start by saying that the "Director" works as an 'electric'. Just because one can carry a 10K doesn't mean they can direct a movie.First I'd like to point out one of the most stupid, careless methods in visually identifying a plot point I've ever witnessed. After being served by a waitress, a customer runs out of a restaurant to her car and looks at a picture of her sister in order to verify that the WAITRESS IS IN FACT HER SISTER!!!! What the hell? Does this character suffer from some mental disorder that she forgets what her sister looked like? If she did it's never addressed again.There is no action in this film. It opens promisingly enough, but soon after it just turns into a boring talk fest that has nothing interesting to say. The acting has the same consistency of cardboard. The director must have spent all of his time at the craft service table because the shot structure is very unimaginative. It's just MED, CU - MED, CU over and over. There are no thrills or suspense. Every moment is telegraphed by one of those Star Trek transporters. Then there's a scene with a sheriff who appears to have been kidnapped from Knotts Berry Farm. I couldn't believe that he had a small dime store tin badge on his vest, which looked like it was cannibalized from some crew members three piece suit.I'm convinced this picture was edited by a Cuisinart. I'm sure they just plopped all those MEDs and C.U.'s into the receptacle and flipped that switch to high. Pushing buttons on a computer does not make one an editor.Most of the sets look alike. Nothing appears authentic. I think the filmmakers must have used their bedroom for a all purpose location. Come on guys at least make a little attempt of an effort! That's it this film is too crappy to waste any more time on… You have a few precious minutes in life. Don't waste any on this stupid junk.

Pitiful acting, terrible story. At least make it overwhelmingly gory not some run of the mill slasher. I hated every minute of this movie and didn't even bother finishing it. If you want to make a horror movie do it with integrity. Basic rules of horror: 1) blood 2) nudity 3) terror 4) humor through the failure of being able to survive. Get it right or don't do it at all. It either needs to be Troma level or at the very least the level of classics of night of the living dead. Slashers are fine but they need to be terrifying. Not stupid you stupid failures. What a waste of money. What a waste of time for the poor people who watched this. I'm not an internet bully. I was mad that you wasted all this money on a terrible idea. Put down the camera and get a real job. Leave to movie business to people who don't settle for putting out garbage like this and thinking it's OK to release it to the public to exploit the genre. Horror is cool and making money now a-days we get it. But true fans wont let garbage like this pass.

I do have to say one thing whatever you do don't watch this movie and don't believe the 9 reviewers who have said that this film is amazing as they are more than likely involved in the making of the movie and they have all joined IMDb the same time an only have 1 review to show. Please please please do not watch this utter crap. As for the acting my pets are better at acting than these bunch of idiots. IMDb really do need to sort things out on this site as fake reviewers and people who are involved in the making of the movie should be banned from this site all together as they lead people to believe that this movie is actually good..... Do yourselves a favour guys and girls do not watch this movie go watch a Disney film which i am sure you will enjoy more....

In an era when every wannabe filmmakers has zero excuses as to not being able to make a film, an increasing number of horrendous attempts and disastrous failures have flooded the independent marketplace. Despite an evergrowing number of terrible films, occasionally quality titles arrive at the surface. "Roadside Massacre" was one of those occasionally digestible pictures.The title, the poster and the storyline really had this viewer prepared for the worst. Yet the film was actually quite enjoyable. Actress Marina Resa (who has a great deal of experience in awful films, considering her leading role in the offensive "Ghost Month") shows her real strength in "RM". She is strong, subtle and poised. She gives blood curddling screams and an ongoing anxiety to her character.The leading evil-doer in this picture, "Jimmy" (portrayed by a man actually named Master Dave), gives a glorious speech about his right to murder (and eat people) due to the tax code of the United States. Another on the bad-guy team is a seemingly simple "Gus" (played by a real-life cowboy, Dusty Probert), he gives a startling performance while drilling into people's skulls and tinkering with their brains.The Writer/Director of this film is first-time feature filmmaker Scott Kirkpatrick. His style is very approachable and lends itself to a very fluid sense of storytelling. Environments play as much of a role as the characters do. His placement of camera and shot structures on one hand are very limited by an obvious lack of funding. On the other end, the images we witness are those of the characters themselves (in other words, unlike most first-time directors ready to show off their skills, Kirkpatrick holds back and stays in check with the storyline and the characters needs). Performances tend to be a bit out of sync. Many characters are very loud and boastful while others are soft. Kirkpatrick balanced the essence of the movie and did not seem to have time for small details.There is very little blood in this film. The make-up is very limiting. The lighting and atmosphere are very alive and creative. The music is eerie and really capitalizes on the bizarre nature of the storyline."Roadside Massacre" is a very average film. In context to all other low-budget horror films by first time filmmakers on extremely limited budgets, it's downright exceptional. I would never bother to write so much on a little indie movie, however, when a talented team is first starting out (in a genre that is often times over looked) they need as much positive support that they deserive. You have all earned my respect and I look forward to your future works.
