Sorry, this movie sucks

Let's be realistic.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Disjointed storyline, very poor acting, some slow scenes, easily-anticipated happenings, some amateurish scripting, uneven cinematography, all contribute to make this a below-par flick. Of course, there are still some "reviewers" who give such a picture 10/10, like "angela-filmsociety" who titles her one-and-ONLY-review on IMDb "Hit & Run in tradition of B movie horrors". HUH??? Cast or crew member, or friend or relative? So, while the movie is not a total disaster, it is not satisfactory, but some viewers may enjoy the bloody gore featured! 4/10

Based on a popular urban legend, and told with irritating scene transitions, stupid camera angles, and unnecessary fancy editing, Hit and Run tells of Mary Murdock (Laura Breckenridge), a sexy college student who, after a drunken night out, runs down a virtually psychotic bipolar kindergarten teacher who doesn't take kindly to being turned into a hood ornament for her SUV.I don't know whether Hit and Run is a tongue-in-cheek attempt at tackling a formulaic premise by taking matters to the extreme, or whether the director was actually trying to make a seriously scary horror. Your guess is as good as mine.If director Enda McCallion was aiming to be as outrageously daft as possible, logic be damned, then his film just doesn't go far enough to make his intentions clear. The majority of the action is so dumb that one can only presume that McCallion is having a laugh at our expense, but then there's the bits seemingly played straight that leave a nagging doubt at the back of the mind... perhaps this is actually meant to frighten us as opposed to making us laugh.Thank heavens then for gorgeous star Breckenridge, who makes the whole sorry thing bearable, no matter how awful it gets; she may be asked to perform some pretty stupid stuff, her character clearly in short supply of brain cells, but she does so in a really tight vest, gets rained on a lot, and is frequently splashed with blood and mud. I don't know about you, but a hot girl in tight wet clothes with her cleavage constantly on display goes a long way to making any film more bearable.

First part of this movie Hit and Run is basically a thriller with some horror elements. Mary Murdock, a young college girl comes back from a late night of partying with buddies. On her way home, she is singing along to music and does not notice a tire in the road. She swerves to miss it. When she hears noises in her garage that night, she's horrified to find a man stuck on the bumper. He is barely alive, bleeding and mangled. She tries to help him but he wants to grab her leg, so she beats him with a golf club. She buries the body in some nearby woods.In the morning she tries to cover up all the evidence of the crime, but she gets more paranoid and feels she is being watched. She starts going off the deep end and doing more and more insane things. She tells her boyfriend about what happened and he participates in the cover up. He tells her to keep mum until the media fest dies down. Without giving away too much, it comes about that the dead guy (who is called Emser and is a bi polar school teacher) comes back to stalk Mary. Rick her boyfriend ends up dead.At this point, the movie shifts gears into something like surreal horror. Many events start to feel disconnected as if we are in Mary's anxiety dream. Emser stabs her and then in continuing the act of revenge ties her to front of the car and drives her around empty highways scaring the living hell out of her. He then takes her back to his house and leaves her in the garage, like she did to him. More murders take place by Emser and when he takes Mary to bury her in the same grave, things take another turn when she gets away and another hit and run is going to happen, this one a purposeful one.In this second half, the thriller suspense gives way toward more grotesque fantastical horror elements.The movie somehow manages to blend these different styles into a somewhat coherent curious package.

After I watched this it occurred to me that it could be everything after she buried the body was part of her delusion. I say that because the movie changed tone midway. At the start it was really kind of real and shown normal. Girl drives back from party. Girl finds dude on front of car. Girl beats him upside the head with golf club and buries him. Then after that the events become more and more ludicrous and out of hand, which made me think we were seeing it all from her hysterical delusions. I didn't mind that too much. Then I thought that it's even possible maybe the whole hit and run might not be real either and the whole thing was some kind of nightmare she'd entered, like "a Christmas Carol" or something and the freaky teacher back from the dead was like a ghost of Christmas Past teaching her a horrifying, nasty, never-to-forget lesson about why she's a naughty girl drinking and driving. After all, he did wrap her up in x-mas lights.
