Description of Roadside Massacre (2012):
Five college friends take a detour while traveling to their spring break destination. They end up in the remote mountain town of Blueridge, where Karen (Marina Resa) believes her older sister went missing 2 years before. After a few odd encounters with the locals, Karen and her friends decide to continue their journey until an unexpected auto malfunction leaves them stranded. The group takes refuge in a local motel and soon learns that in Blueridge, "missing persons" is just a way of life. One-by-one they begin disappearing until the grizzly discovery is made that the local BBQ Rib Restaurant might be serving up more than anyone had bargained. Written byAnonymous

User Review:
In an era when every wannabe filmmakers has zero excuses as to not being able to make a film, an increasing number of horrendous attempts and disastrous failures have flooded the independent marketplace. Despite an evergrowing number of terrible films, occasionally quality titles arrive at the surface. "Roadside Massacre" was one of those occasionally digestible pictures.The title, the poster and the storyline really had this viewer prepared for the worst. Yet the film was actually quite enjoyable. Actress Marina Resa (who has a great deal of experience in awful films, considering her leading role in the offensive "Ghost Month") shows her real strength in "RM". She is strong, subtle and poised. She gives blood curddling screams and an ongoing anxiety to her character.The leading evil-doer in this picture, "Jimmy" (portrayed by a man actually named Master Dave), gives a glorious speech about his right to murder (and eat people) due to the tax code of the United States. Another on the bad-guy team is a seemingly simple "Gus" (played by a real-life cowboy, Dusty Probert), he gives a startling performance while drilling into people's skulls and tinkering with their brains.The Writer/Director of this film is first-time feature filmmaker Scott Kirkpatrick. His style is very approachable and lends itself to a very fluid sense of storytelling. Environments play as much of a role as the characters do. His placement of camera and shot structures on one hand are very limited by an obvious lack of funding. On the other end, the images we witness are those of the characters themselves (in other words, unlike most first-time directors ready to show off their skills, Kirkpatrick holds back and stays in check with the storyline and the characters needs). Performances tend to be a bit out of sync. Many characters are very loud and boastful while others are soft. Kirkpatrick balanced the essence of the movie and did not seem to have time for small details.There is very little blood in this film. The make-up is very limiting. The lighting and atmosphere are very alive and creative. The music is eerie and really capitalizes on the bizarre nature of the storyline."Roadside Massacre" is a very average film. In context to all other low-budget horror films by first time filmmakers on extremely limited budgets, it's downright exceptional. I would never bother to write so much on a little indie movie, however, when a talented team is first starting out (in a genre that is often times over looked) they need as much positive support that they deserive. You have all earned my respect and I look forward to your future works.
