Deadly Detour

Moviecut—Deadly Detour

I have to admit I've seen some car crashes of movies in my time; this is one hell of a motorway pileup... There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie at all. If you insist on watching it still, then just for the gore - there's plenty of it - and don't get me wrong, I'm a gore fan, but it is just so poorly executed. Think of this more as a guide of how not to make a film.

First off, the film is bad, but does have entertainment value. It opens with a couple parking. A guy in a Hawaiian shirt with an Elvis air freshener is attempting to get a girl drunk so he can score a kiss. He has his interior lights on and wipers going. There is an insect on the camera lens that is distracting. No money for retakes. Goat man likes to disembowel his victims and leave visible entrails. The initial killing takes place in Pennsylvania and apparently they were able to get a good deal on pig intestines before they went off to the scrapple factory. 9 kids are on their way south to Florida for vacation. They travel in two cars that are designed to have the maximum internal conflict. They are traveling on a back road when we see a sign for Maryland on their way south to Florida. The next thing know they are near West Chester, Pennsylvania traveling on I-95 stopping at an Interstate rest stop. Then without getting off 95 they are suddenly on a back road, apparently the detour in the title, as one vehicle breaks down and we can guess the rest except for that one thing at the end which was Troma gory, funny, WTF scene involving ...well a bus filled with... Now that made the film. This is a film for lovers of bad indie slashers with bad acting, unlikable characters, an omnipresent killer, and over the top effects. Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (male and female) gore, blood squirts.

It was clearly obvious that the budget for this movie was low, but I actually did not care, there were scenes in this movie which were absolutely brutal, especially at the end.

1/10 Bought this from my local Cash Generator for 50p and never turn down a bargain. Within the 1st few seconds I could tell that this movie wasn't going to be great due to the poor acting. The blood and guts you see from the 1st on screen (pre credits) death is clearly just some sort of material. I mean why couldn't animal guts be used to make it look a bit more realistic? The sound man on this film did a really poor job its hard to hear any of the actors furthest away from the microphone. Why was there a disabled person in the mens toilet when there was clearly a toilet marked for disabled people? Normal toilets never have their own disabled toilet when there's a separate one! Now mash potato looking sick? No sick I've ever seen looks like that. All of these problems are less than 20 minutes in. There's footage of a highway and then suddenly there on a road through the woods? What was the point of the random stock footage of the highway exactly? I'm confused as to the age these people are meant to be as they look in there late 20s to early 30s but I'm guessing they are meant to be teens. I also don't get why in films people happily have sex with their friends about but would anyone actually do that? I highly doubt it. When the ginger guy is peeing why is there a close up of it? I mean it's an awful fake everything! Why does no one hear anyone screaming they haven't gone that far and would still hear it! The fat guy was running away from his girlfriend yet end up running back towards her without turning round? How that works I have no idea! The girl with the red streak in her hair has to be the worst actor as her screaming is awful and just her acting in general is bad. Also how would a car shred the geeky guy to bits? Its not that powerful! The deaths of the blind people on the bus are just stupid. These people are blind not dumb I'm sure they would recognise something bad was happening and try to run not just sit there Wouldn't recommend this film to anyone its full of flaws and is just awful.

This movie is nothing more than a "Home Made" movie produced with a generic camera and very amateur effects. This film is an insult to the Horror genre. I made the mistake of walking into my local ASDA (Wal Mart for you Americans) and looking at the cover thinking it could have potential. Big mistake. I feel violated. Please people, DO NOT view this movie, you have better things to do. This piece of trash lacks any story, acting and meaning. I have had more enjoyable experiences like jumping into a bunch of nettles with no clothes on than the experience of watching this rubbish. One thing is for sure, the local dump it site will be having a great time incinerating this rubbish.

I purchased this film for my best friend for Christmas on play for 6.99, as we love cheesy scary movies. However, this film is a lie. Everything about it is terrible. The box has an actual goatman on it, whereas in the film, the villain looks like the beast man from The Goonies. Not to mention the title of the film isn't actually The Goatman Murders, but in fact Deadly Detour. We were conned. The sex scenes are terrible, the actors are woeful - the only one believable as an actor is the fat guy. Mike O'Mahony has an awful lot to answer for, he has ruined film in less than 90 minutes, Hitchcock must be rolling in his grave. Falsely advertised piece of dirt. Avoid at all costs or you will lose all faith in film making as a whole.

i wouldn't even rate this movie 1/10 its that bad, unfortunately i have to rate it 1/10 on here but seriously its an easy 0/10 from me, only movies that are as bad as this are, Hellinger, Legend Of Harrow Woods, Dead Matter & Nazi Zombies. i am a serious horror fan and movie reviewer however i really cant be bothered to write a serious review for this as it was offensive nonsense. if you bother to really watch it then good luck. but don't say i didn't warn you. 0/10

I do believe the only reason this title is actually rates so low is because of the bad promotion to the release straight to DVD. The scenes that were sexual were compassionate and touching and the murder felt real and gruesome. I was pinned to my seat the whole time. The goatman was terrifying and the make up was so life like. I saw the cost of the production was around $200 which means the actors didn't get paid. But they deserve so much credit for releasing this title without payment. I wouldn't be surprised to see a select few on stage or starting with other top stars soon. I advise you to ignore all other reviews and watch this gripping, dramatic, dark and scary film. You will NOT be disappointed. 10/10!!!!! P.s if you watched this off the back of my review and you came back. YOUV'VE BEEN CURSED!!!!!!!!!
