Breakdown Lane

This is a decent effort but has problems. In a few scenes the sound goes in and out. The acting is pretty good especially the lead. Considering she came from a godawful movie like Birdemic she has come a long way IMO. The zombie makeup and acting is not great but I've seen worse. I've seen zombie movies so awful I couldn't finish them and this is much better. I'd call it middle of the road or maybe just under. I gave it an extra two stars because Whitney Moore is gorgeous. It lost one star because of the HUGE inconsistency at the end. She walks towards the vehicle and it's daylight( despite being night just a second or two earlier). Gets in and it's night. Gets back out for a second and it's day again and you can see a consistent flow of traffic in the background.

It was good enough that I watched the whole film.

It's a standard zombie plot film, done on a budget, however unlike so many, this one has OK to good actors with reasonably natural dialogue. In particular, the female lead was very believable. Fight scenes were shot well enough to hide most of the usual cock-ups that are made when done on the cheap. The zombie actors and their makeup were also better than low budget films usually manage. Special effects were limited, which was just as well, as they were not impressive.

If it wasn't for all the blindingly obvious goofs, I would have given this 6 stars.

This film begins with a young woman named "Kirby Lane" (Whitney Moore) driving somewhere in the southwest when her car breaks down in the middle of the desert. Since her car is equipped with Northstar she calls them up and talks to a service representative named "Max" (Kevin Tye) who advises her to stay in her car and wait for a tow truck. Not long afterward, however, he tells her that he is having some difficulty getting a tow truck because of some strange events happening in that area. Little does she know that a zombie apocalypse has just occurred and society has completely collapsed. What follows is her attempt to stay alive with little food and water in a desert landscape inhabited by lawless gangs and ravenous zombies. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off real well but got bogged down somewhere after the first 30 minutes or so and never really recovered after that. That said, although I give the directors (Bob Schultz and Robert Conway) credit for not turning it into yet another zombie-comedy that seeks to become "so bad it's good" it still could have used a lot more depth and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

This movie sucks!!! There's so many things wrong with this movie that I can't even begin to describe it. Time out of my life that I can't get back😒 It started out ok initially, but the more it went on the more absurd it got. Bloopers that weren't edited out, plot points that made absolutely no sense. I know the budget was low, but that's no excuse. Plenty of low budget movies have become classics due to the time and sincere effort that was put in. This was just a sloppy, lazily made mess that a bunch of high school kids could have put together. Maybe they were high school kids, who really knows.😂

Wow! and not in a good way. Amazing! Amazingly crap. Seriously, this is unbelievable in so many ways.
