Breakdown Lane

There's like 15 good minutes of footage in this whole film...other than that...meh. It's higly forgettable. I don't know if it deserves this 2.7 rating? That seems a bit too low. But it definitely could have been a LOT better.

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.😂

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.

That being. Make a film without funding. LOL. I mean what was this made for $5.95? Now I'm not one to rag on indie films, I love them, have a real passion and tolerance for low budget, Indie or both. This was a good idea, no fault there, the set up is also good. Lead actress is ok so no real super problem with her. But WOW are the SFX bad. Terrible CGI, very poor execution of the "Scary scenes". Some of the dialog was good, and delivered fine by the lead and the northstar customer service guy.

Unfortunately, even with a liberal dose of suspension of expectation, I was unable to forgive or tolerate the horrid fight, kill or scare scenes. About the only time I found myself not eye rolling was the dialog in the SUV. Good idea but sometimes you just shouldn't release something that was beyond your ability to film many of the scenes with the what seems to be near zero special effects or even a special effects manager? If this film did have one, he should never work on a film again. A real shame, this could have been a decent film, just please secure some funding OR a talented SFX manager. Otherwise just keep it on hold until you can. Sorry, no addition to my collection with this one. I don't think I'd even waste the space if it was in the dollar bin.

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