Hit and Run (2009 Video)
7/10
What the . . .
12 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
To tell you the truth, I don't know what to think of this movie. On the one hand it's pretty creepy, nightmarish and well made, but on the other hand its entire premise is weird and ridiculous. I seem to remember many years ago a true story about a woman who hit a guy and drove all the way home with him crushed to the grill of her car. Well, that's the way this movie starts, so much so that you might think that it's based on that story. And for the first half of the movie, that's the way it plays out, as sort of a drama about how this woman who has killed a guy with her car is coping and trying to cover it up. But then all of a sudden it turns into Saw Part Seven the gore fest as the hit and run victim isn't really dead but is now a raving psychopath hell bent on torturing Mary the drunk driver. What the. . . There's just no point to this movie and I guess that's why it is so demented and hilarious.

Members of MADD won't exactly get a kick out of it, because the victim of this drunk driving accident is a crazed lunatic wielding pruning shears, unless this is a vision of DUI hell. We can't root for the girl either, because she's a stupid bimbo who, after all, did run over a pedestrian after binge drinking at a bar, and then re-kills him, like, four more times. Even though this movie is totally absurd, I have to admit I had a ball watching it--and Laura Breckenridge is a fabulous actor--so that's why I'm giving it a seven. But, come on, the guy should totally open his eye during the last scene; that alone would make it an eight.
