Hit and Run (2009 Video)
5/10
pleasantly surprised

This horror flick somehow reminded me of the "Creepshow 2" episode 'Dead Man's Curve" and less, but to a certain degree, "I Know what you did last summer". This film holds up pretty well on its own, though. The story seems to be based on an urban legend where someone finds they accidentally hit a stranger at night and brought them back home to the garage stuck on the bumper and barely alive. I found that whole idea entertaining and scary. This is followed by an attempted murder and revenge.

The acting for a horror film is pretty good. The lead girl Mary and the boyfriend Rick are convincingly authentic, much more than I expected. Kevin Corrigan (from The Departed) plays the twisted bad guy and while I wish there had been more of him, I liked what I saw. He had a certain creepiness that caught me off guard.

All in all, much to my surprise, this little movie offered a lot more than I thought, intense action sequences, some gore, horror, suspense and last but not least, some good dance music.
