Sadly Over-hyped

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

OK- actors- there are none in this film. There are simply poser idiots who wish they could act- one major problem with these complete idiots is the direction and the complete lack of any acting ability- Imagine the dumbest jock at your high school- now hand him a script he has never seen before- and tell him to read it aloud- now you have the caliber of the dialog in this movie.THis is the kind of thing some idiot wrote while flunking out of film school and his girlfriend thought it was awesome because she smokes crack and has no ability to differentiate crap from a good movie.This is my theory- since it is one of the few situations that can spawn such a useless turd of endless non-acting, wooden script reading and imbecilic non-believable casting.It's crap. It doesn't get ANY worse than this without intentionally trying to be terrible. THE FUNNIEST THING ABOUT THIS MOVIE: These so-called actors all make the same ROOKIE mistake --- they cannot keep their eyes off the camera!! THey look from left to right very quickly in a failed attempt to keep their eyes off the camera and "act natural" You will continually catch these COMPLETE MORONS looking into the camera by a simple lack of any skill whatsoever.I heartily suggest everyone in this movie get a real job quick because none of them have any future in film-making if they stay at this caliber level!!

Feeling sorry for an old hitchhiker who seems to be struggling in the pouring rain, a young woman decides to pick up the old lady after having just heard on the news that a woman had been found dead. She soon gets the creeps about the old lady and tries to get her out of the car by pretending that she has a flat tyre and then speeds away. The events that take place in the next 8 minutes or so will have you gripped to the edge of your seat with an ending that will leave you shocked! Superb acting and cast done it justice!

A short does not have a lot of time to make its point. I don't think they did. It was a bit eerie, but it lacked convincing fear or fear development. Also just reminded me a lot of an old Twilight Zone teaser. Maybe another viewing will change my opinion...

LEFT TURN is a dark and disturbing short film which manages to supply a large amount of suspense within it's short running time(15 minutes). Lucy Russell (The Lady and the Duke) plays Julie, who driving home on a dark and rainy night picks up an old woman who appears to be in trouble. Julie starts to have second thoughts about her good deed when something starts to feel very wrong about her hitch hiker.In the style of "Don't Look Now" this scary short film has great performances along with slick looking sequences filled with tension.
