Road Train (2010)

The pretty explicit sexscene in the beginning of the movie probably was the best thing of the whole movie as the rest of the movie is just some boring shit.

The teenagers Marcus, Liz, Craig and Nina are camping in the remote outback of Australia. While driving on the road, a road train crashes on their car that leaves the road in a serious accident. The quartet survives and Craig breaks his arm, but their car is totally wrecked. However they see the train truck parked on road and Marcus and Liz walk to the vehicle to ask for help. They do not find the driver and soon Craig and Nina arrive. When they see the driver shooting at them, they decide to carjack the road train. Soon they begin to act strange possessed by some evil force.


Quickly 4 youngsters are bumped of the road by a Road Train (That's wat Australians call a huge truck) and from that moment on the youngsters see this as an opportunity to do some of the dumbest things possible. They decide to take the truck as the driver is nowhere to be found. More and more it seems like they are being possessed by the truck one by one. Though I don't know if that was wat I meant to think as the story is verry confusing and nothing that happens really gets explained. Even when some of the characters start to act like they're some kind of Charles Manson maniac it doesn't really get clear why this is happening leaving you with a ton of questions (although you don't really give a shit about the answer.

The acting isn't all that bad but it's mainly the shitty script and the fact that the personality of characters are stupid that you don't give a rats ass whether they die or live. The movie also takes place on the same spot to much. This way it gets kinda boring (especially because the things that are going on are not interesting at all). 

One of the little good things about Road Train is the cool setting in the beautiful landscape of Australia and visually the film itself looks pretty decent.



Don't get yourself fooled by the cool poster of even by the trailer which might seem like it's a Duel (1971) kinda movie. This is some ''huge truck going supernatural'' bullshit which leaves you with a lot of questions after you're done watching as the film itself makes no sense at all.
