The Curse of Buckout Road

The Curse of Buckout Road (2017) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows the famous Buckout Road and the various legends that surround it. When a group of kids post a video about the legends of Buckout Road not being true, and why they believe the stories aren't true, everyone involved in the video starts having nightmares about the various legends. Soon their nightmares start becoming realities.

This movie is directed by Matthew Currie Holmes (Traces) in his directorial debut and stars Evan Ross (The Hunger Games), Henry Czerny (Mission: Impossible), Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon), Dominique Provost-Chalkley (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Colm Feore (Thor) and Jim Watson (Crimsin Peak).

This storyline had so much potential from real life ghost stories to a solid cast. Unfortunately using the children as the primary drivers of the plot was awful. The horror elements were also fairly weak until the very end. They should have stolen some ideas from Dead End or The Conjuring. There's a neck slice scene that was the highlight of the movie for me towards the end, but up until that point this film had nothing going for it. The ending was extra cheesy and very disappointing.

Someone needs to take this premise and completely remake this movie. Overall this was very poorly made and disappointing. I would score this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.
