Ive said it before, I count these as short films.

Masters of Horror: Incident on and Off a Mountain Road


Though the plot is very predictable and not original in the least, this is still pretty good. I wont spoil the plot for those of you that haven't seen a horror movie before, but it's pretty straight forward and has a really obvious "twist" at the end. That isn't to say that the plot isn't good, it kept me interested, it was just very derivative and predictable. The actors all did well, especially Angus Scrimm as a delightfully looney old man. The main girl wasn't too bad, but I really didn't like her character for reasons that I wont go into, for fear that I might spoil the plot for those of you with pickled brains. It had moments where it was very atmospheric and tense that I really liked, but the chase got on my nerves pretty quick. Moonface wasn't a great character as it leaves way to many questions. It's nice to leave a few questions about a slasher, but I would have liked to know at least a little about him. Overall, not as good as the Carpenter or Gordon episodes, but still good.

7.5/10
