THE ROAD: 2011: HORROR: Just when you thought I had given up on horror movies.
NOPE!
There are still some good horror movies out there. You just have to look in the right places. This is a good one, believe me. I'm still a little disenchanted, but it will have to do.
Keep going, don't look back. Only forward.
It wasn't laziness, it's just after watching so many horror movies, especially that 3 month marathon, I got a little jaded. So what, it happens, move on.
Insert depressing Radiohead song here..
The Road by Yam Laranas is a good movie, and it's an even better horror movie. All the elements of creepiness are here; revolting environments ala Chainsaw Massacre and a truly developed psycho killer ala Silence of the Lambs. This movie is disturbing if you know where to look and give it a chance. Yes, it has subtitles but so does my doppleganger.
Paper or plastic?
At first, I thought it was going to be the usual ghost haunting type of movie, which would have been fine, because it was sufficiently creepy. It didn't stop there. There were two stories intertwined (I think 3 actually) and that just makes things interesting. Then there was the development of the killer, which just adds to it all, doesn't it?
The killer in The Road had some issues in the parental department and subsequently chooses an odd choice of careers; odd but opportune for his particular hobby. I won't go into it any further, because I don't want to be that "spoiler" guy sitting behind a monitor eating his third box of Cheez-Its. OK, I like Cheez-Its..
The root of all evil..
I don't want to spoil my own enjoyment. If my thinking is correct, this ending is wicked and very nasty. Very
Nothing is as it appears here.
The best thing to do with this movie, is watch it and then watch it again. The timing, the scares, the music and the cinematography are amazing. Am I into horror movies again? Maybe...85%
Run for it, watch it, get confused, then watch it again!!
ANOTHER Radiohead song, what's wrong with you>>
