Awfully Bad Wheels, 20 June 2004
Author: NoDefeat

This movie is a take off of "Duel", "Christine", "The Wraith" and any other movie featuring people being chased by vehicles. The over use of slow motion, the pathetic ending and all of the awful parts in between which make no sense (for instance, the car coming back when it finally lost the school bus and when the girl escaped from the car and got back to the bus when all the car driver had to do was brake or something to get away from the bus) and of course the mystery of the car driver (unless of course it was the car that killed and raped the schoolgirls :) ) make this film not worth seeing. Try any of the movies I mentioned above instead they would make for much better entertainment that this rubbish.
