Dead End Review
Written by: MistressOf Horror Dead End is the story of bickering Frank and Laura (Ray Wise, and Lin Shaye), their psychologist daughter Marion (Alexandra Holden), and annoying teenage son Richard (Mick Cain), and Marion's 'sweet' boyfriend Brad (Billy Asher). They are travelling away from home to spend Christmas holidays with relatives when Frank decides to take a detour while his family sleeps. Bad decision because it now seems they are on the road to nowhere. Stuck on a dizzying route through claustrophobic forest, Ray drives on and on, searching in vain for a telephone (of course, their cell phones cannot get a signal), a ranger's station, or any sign of a house. Soon, a gliding, almost-spectral hearse stalks our hapless victims, and it only stops long enough to carry off new passengers, one by one... The obligatory sexy blonde is Amber Smith as this weird black horror's erotic lure as the Lady in White, a traumatised siren/survivor carrying a baby's corpse. Amusingly, the twisted remains of the first 'roadkill' victim are not seen on-camera, yet the family's shocked reactions to the appalling sight are actually more effective than any gore scene I've seen in a while. The family's sins (infidelity, theft, drug abuse) and regrets (parental neglect, favortism, etc.) return to haunt them during the ill-fated journey, resulting in some skeletons in their closets and true confessions. It had the feel of Jeepers Creepers and Dead Alive at times but never came close. If you dont mind alot of driving and road conversations then you might stick around to find out that this movie had some familiar but nonetheless good twists to it...
