I recently viewed Fender Bender (2016) on Shudder. The plot revolves around a young lady driver involved in a car accident who, after exchanging contact information, finds herself entangled in a series of murders. As the body count rises, she may regret sharing her contact information...

This film is written and directed by Mark Pavia (The Night Flier) and features Cassidy Freeman (The Forever Purge), Makenzie Vega (The Good Wife), Bill Sage (We Are What We Are) and Dre Davis (Pretty Little Liars).

Surprisingly, I enjoyed this movie more than I expected. The circumstances felt authentic, and the acting was relatable. The cinematography was crisp, providing a realistic aesthetic. The overall vibe of the film is reminiscent of '90s slashers, with a notable slasher costume and intense kill scenes. The gore and brutality add to the film's impact, and the ending pleasantly defies clichés, avoiding a cop-out conclusion. I would welcome a sequel.

In summary, Fender Bender proves to be a noteworthy addition to the slasher genre. I'd give this a 6/10 and recommend a giving it a shot.
