detour1945

Seriously, the initial premise seemed interesting and I was curious where they would go with it.

Unfortunately, the narrative becomes a jumbled mess and the acting by one and all is high school atrocious at best.

But this film really goes off the rails during the finale.

I won't spoil it here, if I could even give the description justice, but if you do start this one, hang in for a head-scratching, 180-degree turn out of nowhere ending.

To balance out the 1-star and 10-star reviews, a little extreme on both ends, I'm giving it a 6/10.

Uneven effort, but technically accomplished, with decent acting all around.

The story had potential, but I think the "gimmick" of having the five deaths written and directed by five different people (treating it almost like an anthology) didn't quite gel.

Some of the deaths sequences were written and handled quite well, while a couple were a little too jumbled and felt like they belonged in another picture.

Overall, however, an admirable independent effort.
