Wrecker
(2015/XLRator DVD)
Picture:
B- Sound: B- Extras: D Film: C
In
the vein of Duel and Joy Ride, Wrecker (2015) is
a fast paced road rage horror/suspense film from the producer of
American Mary, directed by Micheal Bafaro and starring Anna
Hutchison & Andrea Whitburn, neither of which are too hard to
look at. The desert is an interesting backdrop for this story and
was surprised at how well shot and edited it was. When you look at
the DVD cover, all you can do is cringe.
Best
friends Emily and Lesley go on a road trip to the desert. When Emily
decides to get off the highway and take a "short cut," they
become the target of a relentless and psychotic trucker who forces
them to play a deadly game of cat and mouse.
The
film is presented in standard definition with an anamorphic
widescreen aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1
track. The film is short with a running time of 83 minutes. The
only extra is a theatrical trailer.
While
not completely original, Wrecker is a decent road killer film
that stands up next to other entries in the genre and more
entertaining than you might expect.
